f you've ever thought about modeling but were unsure if you could meet the physical requirements, you have come to the right place. The following will give you all the basics if it's a good idea for you to proceed.

1) Nice complexion. A zit here or there generally will not count you out. However, if you have "problem skin" it will take a lot of time and money to "photoshop" it out thereby costing too much money. Most clients will not want to pay for this - or you.

2) A well toned body. Obviously, bulges of fat anywhere on your body will not work. Even a slim body can have flabby areas if the person is not working out.
