I started to model for my friend who is starting out as a photographer. I am what she calls an artsy model. We do creative, movie like, dark shots. I am in my 30's. Where can I take this new found hobby? Thoughts..

Pay no attention to the spammer ha-ha. The answer is ABSOLUTELY! For instance my niece (4 months old) is a model for huggies (promise). Now here is the problem you will run into, finding a job. If you're into creativity perhaps you should look into being a set designer for a traveling play company (there are TONS!) you won't get rich but you will have fun, travel, and make some money. On the other hand, if you want to really be a model you should probably start out by getting together a portfolio of at least 100 photos and sending it around to some companies with the same subject matter. Or if you have some money you could hire an agent to spread the word for you. Good Luck!
