My advice to young girls who aspire to be a model/actress is to start now! Start taking classes and submitting your photos to top agencies, but be very careful! Make sure you know who your photographer is, and don’t do anything that makes you uncomfortable.

C. J. - Successful model and inspiring mother

What I say to those people are " its all about how you do it and how you carry yourself". As a model I know what I will and will not allow to be on the internet. I know how I want to reflect on my life and I don't want to feel guilty or ashamed of explaining anything to my child and future children. So to be clear, its about who you are as a model. They're many genres of modeling. A glamour model who does artistic or implied nude may have less to explain to their future generation then a glamour model who's modeling career is catered to a majority of a male audience.

My first experience in front of a camera was breathtaking. I never in my life have been in another setting where I felt that I fit and was comfortable to just let go and be myself. I prefer photos that are taken outside with the natural sun lighting. I feel the sun captures my skin tone better than artificial lighting.

I started modelling about 3 years ago. I started when i was 16. I was always told i should try it out by family and friends and even some random people on the street but i didnt actually start until an old friend of mine (sadly we are no longer friends) got me into it as she modelled for fun occasionally. She brought me to a shoot and after that i started messaging photographers of modelmayhem and instagram eventually it became a job rather than a hobby but i still always try to make it as fun as possible!

Kayla - story of young, strong, brave beautiful girl

I've been in front of a camera for longer than I can imagine , its something I do on my own, it just comes natural to me , my sister who takes a photography class in college is where I recieve my most practice from because I'm her model when it comes to her projects. it was years were I would go without smiling , people would think I was so bitter , and so mean , but what they didn't know was I was going through chronic depression that cause my mood either to be extremely angry or extremely sad . When I'm in front of a camera I finally have a reason to smile, an excuse to feel beautiful, to feel like a supermodel even if no one else see's it in me.

I studied film directing, as I think it would tremendously help me to be a better actor, and it's good to see the whole thing from another angle. I loved work with students on short films, UCLA really made us a big family. Sometimes, we got to make short films with the same scripts, it was so interesting to see everyone's film turned out to be so different. Thanks to my UCLA studies, I have two films in the film festival, "Forget to Remember" and "Wine Not". They were based on my previous relationships. My friends always say that I am like Taylor Swift in films.

Que sean ellas mismas. Que no se dejen llevar por los cánones "establecidos", la diversidad cada vez se está implantando más en las pasarelas y la fotografía, la gente quiere ver mujeres reales en las que se puedan ver reflejadas, cada es como nace con más o menos kilos, estrías... pero todo es bonito. Así que mi mejor consejo que sean ellas mismas y que disfruten de su trabajo para así poder transmitir al espectador lo bonita que eres.

Let them be themselves. Do not get carried away by the "established" canons, diversity is increasingly being implemented in the catwalks and photography, people want to see real women in which they can see themselves reflected, each one is born with more or fewer kilos, stretch marks ... but everything is beautiful. So my best advice is to be themselves and that they enjoy their work so that they can convey to the viewer how beautiful you are.
