Height and Body Type: It is a fact that every person is unique and beautiful but when it comes to modeling a person needs to have physical characteristics that are “ideal” for this industry. A short height or an overweight body can become an obstacle for sure. Well, you must understand that this industry is such that physical appearance matters a lot here therefore you must not get demotivated if you do not fit in the criterion of becoming a model.
Your Location: If you live in a town or city that has no modeling agencies, then you would find it difficult to materialize your dream of becoming a model unless you decide to shift to a suitable place. In India most of the modeling agencies are located in Bangalore, Delhi and Mumbai, so if you want to enter into this industry then you need to relocate in any of these cities.
Bad Portfolio: Your portfolio is your identity in the modeling world so it has to be excessively impressive. A bad portfolio can become an obstacle as it would not be able to fetch you good modeling assignments. Always get your portfolio made by an experienced and professional photographer.
