I don€™t see why not, you seem nice,and you have an amazing body, you have some nice photos on your port, but they don€™t do you any justice, once you get some better/clear photos, that will be a good start. Keep at it tho

My honest opinion is that your better than you images. I can't believe these were done by a pro photographer - dreadful! Sorry if thats too honest!

I always suggest to new models that it is far better to find a photographer whose work you like and pay them for your portfolio. By doing that you are in charge and the photographer has to come up with good results. Relying on TF may sound good and cheap but you only get what the photographer wants or agrees to give you and it takes a long time to get the basics. Think of paying as an investment in your modelling career. Good luck.

+1 with the above.. Seems like a dying concept of speculate to accumulate. Poor images = Next..

Hi,
I have to agree with other comments, the images you have in your port are substandard in content direction and lighting.
My suggestion is, do a search (on here and other Model/Photographer sites) and find a photographer who's work you like and can demonstrate the quality you seek.
Then approach that photographer for a shoot... it is completely irrelevant (Quality/content wise), if it is a paid or TF* shoot... just make sure you discus and agree on exactly what you want from the shoot.

The fact that you pay for a shoot does not guarantee anything.... judge the photographer by the quality of his/her work.
At the end of the day... it is the content and quality of the images, not how much you pay for them.
Be selective...

On a more personal note and in answer to your original question.... Yes i do think you have the potential to do well as a model, although seeking paid work may be a little premature.

I agree wholeheartedly with manneringmedia.
You look like a good model. Your current images are not the best.
Choose a good photographer, paid, unpaid, new on the block, well established old experienced and retired it doesn't matter.
Try several, choose one of those to spend more time with, analyse the results, choose images that will sell you in the styles you want to do.
Expect to spend some money and time setting yourself up, spend lots of time establishing yourself as punctual, reliable and polite.
Develop a very thick skin to put up with let downs, put downs and disappointments and even when you start earning don't expect it to last forever, just a few months, maybe a couple of years.
I wish you luck, something we all need. It is said that you make your own luck.

I couldn't agree more with what retrotog said here:

"Expect to spend some money and time setting yourself up, spend lots of time establishing yourself as punctual, reliable and polite."

I know so many models that skipped this step, got frustrated that they didn't get many paid bookings right away, and quit. Think of it like setting up a business (with no guarantees the business will succeed) and go for it. Put in the initial hard work and your chances of success will be much higher. Expect everything straight away and you'll be disappointed.

Saying that, you have a great figure and you seem polite and able to take advice well, so I think you could do well!

I would have to agree with pretty much everything that has been said. Having been to, I think it was the first two group shoots, at Sapphire Rooms and a couple of other group shoots I would suggest that you are better to think of these things as social contact gathering events than necessarily the best places to build a portfolio from.

Sapphire rooms itself is somewhat frustrating as it has great lighting as part of the building but sadly although it creates a nice ambience it is slightly too dark to shoot without flash. As a result to get the best out of it you really need to have a set of lights with you which as they event has become busier has actually become less practical, hence people using on camera flash which never does a model or a photographer any favours.

But back to your profile and the only thing I would add is that your main shot is the type of shot that may lead to some confusion as you state your levels are to topless and whilst the image is not actually showing anything higher than that it is the sort of image that may mislead some photographers into thinking you may do higher levels.
