The Journey of a Model


Hi,
My name is Gene and my wife's name is Cynthia. One of our children is a professional model. She travels all over the world, she is in commercials, she is in ads all over the internet and she was on the cover of Elle magazine in Greece. I don't say this to brag but because I am still in awe that my child has done all of these things and is only 19 years old. I still can't believe that this is real, but there she is on another website advertising clothes or jewelry or whatever it is they think her face will sell and I know that it is indeed real, and I figured other people might want to watch her journey and along the way ask questions about how the industry works, how do people become models, what are the highs and lows, how much can a model make, what do parents feel, basically anything you want to ask and I will try to answer it. I am open to any question, good or bad.

The video above is something my daughter did in Korea for a company called Hdex. I found it on Instagram under their reels section after searching for hours to try and find all her work in Korea. It still amazes me that this is my child.

However, with the right strategy and perseverance, new models can turn this dream into reality. Here’s how a starting model can increase their chances of gracing a magazine cover: 1. Build a Strong Portfolio A well-rounded portfolio is essential for any aspiring model. This is your visual resume and should showcase your range and versatility. Work with skilled photographers to create a variety of looks—editorial, fashion, commercial, and more. Make sure your portfolio reflects current trends but also highlights your unique style.
