I'm determined to become one. Is height a big issue? I'm only 16 and in a few months, I'll get some photoshoots done.. yet, I am only 5'1-5'2. I'm not going for high fashion, runaway.. sort of modelling.
But would people want someone like me [height]? Especially if I have a unique look? Or do i just get canceled out?

Height makes women look powerful and perfect, like goddesses. Even if you do have everything perfect (besides height, or lack of, rather), there's still a good chance that they won't hire you. I'm not supporting it, I'm just telling it like it is. Good luck. [ missbananafontana's advice column | Ask missbananafontana A Question ]

Seems like you're one of those hard working people, so I'm here to help you out. You can do petite modeling, you can look it up on legitimate modeling agencies websites to see if they accept petite models. Most of the great legitimate ones do.
By the way, just a little extra info for you. If any agency ever asks for any type of money up front -- they are a scam. I got a list together of some legitimate modeling agencies that you can go on their websites for casting calls, or you can submit your photos to them.
