Thanks so much, this site is awesome. I had a really bad episode with my skin but it's recovering now, and I'm desperately trying to get the "active" pimples to go away, but other than that I mainly have pigmentation which shouldn't be hard to cover up with foundation or something like that. Also, I'm thinking about going at it again. My skin really had me down, but it's getting better. And I'm trying to work with my face infront of the mirror and figure out my angles. For example I now know that from straight up, if I smile to wide I look a little strange. This is the stuff that I should keep in mind. And I'm definitely going at it with emotions in the face, I'm very good with drama and portraying feelings, to I'll have to try to envoke both of these skills. I think my best feature is my body when I take photos, because I'm much more confident in my movements than with my face. And I'm 16 :) Hi!

As far as always having the same face, that's what this post is for. Models don't always look pouty (that's the face I see a lot of teenage models overusing) sometimes they're happy, sad, enchanted, pleased, coy, flirty and many other expressions. Practice is the best way to get better but there's nothing like trial by fire and getting in front of the camera with a photographer who can help you learn new skills and techniques!

So I'm applying for them but it's so weird posing when I'm practicing for my mother. My body is good, I can pose with it just fine but I can't really work my face that day (even though people usually tell me I have amazing facial control). So this is really good, thanks ;) [minus I also have "teenage skin" :/) I was in a casting and they were interessted but was a little too young for the competition (this was seperste from the agency).
