i am looking to become a male model, just something to do on the side. Any tips that will help me?
Do i need certain size requirements ?
where is a good spot to start?

First: find a modeling agency that may be willing to take you with no modeling experience. If you're superbly good looking, they ought to.
If too ugly for that: start by doing some time-for-digital-files exchange with local phtoographers. Keep in mind that you'll have to pay the truly talented photographers, but some starter pics can help.

Well my aunt and uncle own a photography business so i can get pictures taken there, are they usually looking for a certain build? would they be looking for bulky guys or thin fellas?

It depends bro. If you're a bulky bodybuilder, you'd be suited for photos of smaller, local gyms, or naturalist products. If you look like an AberC&F model, you may have more luck in clothing line. If you have 12 inches, you'd be more of a porn star, like me.

Hey I'm no photographer nor photographer, but I know what makes for a decent model (because it's common sense!). Your face is key. You just have to have some kind of quality to your face that makes it model-quality.

Your body really comes second (unless if you have an insanely chiselled body build already, in which case your body can kind of make up for the face a bit).

You can be fat, skinny, or muscular. It doesn't really matter. What it comes down to is the package... how you look with the way you are. Usually bulking up muscle as well as getting bodyfat down to six-pack level improves any model's ability to model though.

exactly what i said.

Lol I just realized I said "I'm no photographer nor photographer", but meant to say "I'm no photographer nor model". Durrr. I need sleep.

Depends on what kind of model you want to be. If you want to be a fashion model (the best paying probably), you should be relatively skinny which is the trend now and the face is 80% of what they care about, a good jaw line is important for example. But to answer your question.. honestly if you really have great model looks you can just send some basic pictures to some agencies and they will invite you to some place, they're always looking for new talent. Try ford for example(there are dozens of others), it's big and prestigious, but nothing to lose haha
