You look like one of those model types you bastard!

But really man, not to sound gay, but I mean we can't really see your body (if you are going to be doing body shots without your shirt), assuming your are pretty muscular you seem like you would do pretty well.

Bastard.

You could probably do it, but right now you have kinda a blank look that doesn't emote your personality.

Also, if you're serious, you have to work up a good portfolio with a good photographer with comp cards and headshots. Which all does require an initial inve$tment.

It can be a decent way to meet other hot model chicks, though.

I am the last person to judge who should or should not be a model. But my only advice to you is try and get some networking. if you know some people, they can either help you realize if you can do it, and better yet help you get some work.

You are a good looking guy...modeling is possible for you...

Your photos are pretty good....However, some of them aren't expressive enough.

Modeling is about expression, not just good looks.

When you smile insert your personality into it, otherwise it'll be "blank."

Here are a few photos of myself to show you what I mean by "expression" and "personality" just to help you out.

What the hell?

Those are the ones that get paid big bucks, Armani , abercrombie, etc. Why would he want to go to a no name studio??

please dont take any offence but to be a model, you have big ears and also the only chance you will ever have in the modelling world is if you go for the metrosexual look, the masculine look is out! so get your hair cut really short like size 1 or go for the long hair look. you got a decent jaw line which is important. personally the best tip right now is get your hair shaved to a size 1 and also have a stubble beard type of thing. look at pictures of male models online and whichever one of the looks you think you can accomplish then go for it.
Maybe in europe, but hte masculine look is still going strong in America.


Go for it man, if you want it you can achieve that **** bro.

I don't know why you're asking here abut wether you are model material or not.
You wouldn't be asking this if you haven't received indications from others that you look better than most guys (see the post by pooparu..lol). Find someone who would know - see if you can bend the ear of a modeling recruiter in your area. Also, and maybe more importantly, keep in mind that the opinions of others are just that - opinions. If the person at a modeling agency tells you that you do not have what it takes, then go somewhere else. Like a doctor, get a second or third (or more) OPINION.

Get buffer. Right now, you would get laughed at if you sent in shots with you shirtless.

Swoll up, hit the gym, fast.

Hehe, I think that's the case for most guys.. Even the good looking ones...

You are obviously blessed with looks. I honestly think you have a pretty damn good shot at becoming a model! Best of luck man!

This is utter crap.
I am a make-up artist and from what I have seen and the male models I have worked with, I can assure you that buffed is a definite no go for most Haute Couture catwalks. The slim, androgeneous type is still in demand.

you could make it in some local agency. but not big time. try some smaller agnecies, they still pay well and arnt as picky as the big ones. check thier backgrounds and see how thier models look on thier site to see what chance you got. the masculine look is really out these days, with models like brad kroenig and all that. the pretty boy look isnt in that much as b4 but might come back. i idid a lil modelling my self and im doing some digital editing work . so i see different categories of models. you got a chance but you might have to pay for the potfolio cuss some agencies wont pay jack **** for ur ass. try different agencies if none accepts you. i was rjected 6 times by different agences. you could mail your pcitures to agences and theyll do a test shoot for you or you could go directly there to see them. good luck. but you are good looking (no homo)
