This is a billboard my daughter is on in South Korea, it is so cool to see your child on a huge sign. The clothes she is wearing in this ad are from a company called Hdex. She told me that this is one of her favorite campaigns so far, as these clothes are her actual style in real life. One of the things in modeling is that you never know what you are going to be wearing. You could be in beautiful gowns in one ad and in the next be modeling a trash bag. You may hate the clothes you have to model, but this is what makes a good model, conveying an image that makes people want to buy what you are wearing, even if in real life you personally don't like it. It takes talent for people to pose where it looks natural. Modeling is not as easy as people think it to be. There are multiple castings to go to with no guarantee to even get a job. You learn about rejection really fast in this business and it can make you a very strong person. Many times when models go to castings they get discouraged because they may not get picked, just realize that the casting director has a vision that they are trying to put forth and sometimes a certain person doesn't fit that vision. It doesn't mean you aren't a good model, you may just not be the right fit for that campaign. Keep pressing on and you will eventually start landing jobs and be on your way to that supermodel status.
Seeing their work
The fun part of being a parent of a model is finding all the work your child has done. It's like being an investigative reporter. You have to constantly badger your child from across the world, what client did you work for,what country was it in, and then scour the internet or magazines for that company and hope you get a glimpse of a picture or a video. You don't always see all the work they've done. Some clients may not even use what they shot or it may be for a campaign months down the road. 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.
