Hi, I am 5'10, 34-24-34, size 4, East European with high cheeck bones, I get the attention and pics from proffesional photographers and beautiful pictures.
But I am 26!! and I lie and tell people that I am 20 because I look young and I don't think they would like me for fashion if they knew.
I only started out so late because of a scam where I was supposed to pay a couple thousand for pictures to an agency that came up to me on the street, since then I have been trying to get pictures for little money.
I have been told all my life I should do modeling, but I was too shy and had no confidence or understanding of my looks and my potential when I was a teenager, but I have it now and I can't accept that it is too late.
Is there any chance I can still get into fashion? Do agencies really have to know my age? Isn't it enough that people like to see me, photographers like to work with me and that I look young?
I am so confused and very serious about my career and put 24/7 into it,
I appreciate any advice, thanks.
