We are proud to see many of the aspiring models take charge of their careers as a business! You are acting professional, yet your own personality shines through! A.K.A. Models supports all types of models because as a career it is growing more diverse.
For some of you it may just be a temporary type of career that you will grow from...and this will add to your life a certain outlook that only comes from experience. It may be a positive experience for you or it may be toward the negative side. Either way, it's your own unique experience that is never 100% the same as any other model.
Each "different type" of model may not always be able to relate to the work that other models do, either. I find that the more that you learn about the demands of each type of modeling "niche", it opens your mind to some of the basic issues that they share. As a career you can bond and learn from other models. You may meet a lot of them, so you'll learn who has something you can learn from similar to "on the job" training.
There are also models that have the right "mind-set" that are good to be around, so to stay in the loop with them. One thing ALL models have in common is that when they are working (or photographically testing on their own)...they are striving for the right looks that will increase their odds of being hired. The right "looks" will be subjective to other people's opinions, so all you can do keep trying.
This had an impact of why I chose the name "A.K.A. Models" because "a.k.a." means "also known as" and ultimately any model is supposed to be "another character"...not personal to their every day life. There are some people that just can't seperate themselves from their modeling career and find themselves less marketable with just "one look", so no matter what type, size, or sex of model...stay flexible and always ask yourself on bookings, "what image does the client want me to be?". You can't be the "same image" for each different client, unless "they want" you to be. Think of "what" you are selling and make it look its best...garment, product, accessory, promotion, or service.
