Hey Jamie
Your portfolio is beautiful!

Work towards getting into a good agency, chase down EVERYONE on the ladder and beat them over the head until they love you. :D
No one will hand it to you, you have to take it, so be proactive.

Contact ALL the togs and clothing designers in your area and become friends with them, it's the easiest way to get referrals for jobs. Promote them and they will promote you.
+If it's a full time job you should be working at it 9 hours a day... through test shoots, ballet, gym, business studies, self-promotion, etc.

p.s. be prepared for a lot of cattiness, bitchiness, ankle biting, jealousy, etc, but let it roll over you while you jump to the top. :)

And good luck!

Jamie, you have the beginnings of a promising portfolio, a good face and amazing hair :) However, your portfolio is not yet strong enough or varied enough to take to an agency. I suggest making a trip to Jhb or CT and testing with a few decent fashion photographers before approaching agencies like Ice, Boss, Grace, 20 Management, etc...

I wish you the best of luck, but at 1.59m its going to take a hell of a lot of work and a spot of luck me thinks.

Wont say its impossible, but it sure wont be easy.
