- This week on For a Living, we meet NY model scout and model manager Jasmine Dwyer (@jasminedwyer). Jasmine started as a model in Australia and New York. When she helped someone else break into the modeling industry, she realized the talent she has for discovering new models. Since then she has created her own model management company, Bamby Model Management. She scouts for models in NYC and mentors new models as they start their careers.

What an amazing business , Jasmine's girls must be so lucky to have someone so caring for them that can help them succeed !!
At 5'2", size 8-10, and in the middle of nowhere Midwest, I made peace pretty young that I would never be a model. Its nice to see the modeling industry slowly begin to embrace diversity though. 🙌
As a mother agent myself, its important that the models who are often minors need to inform their parents about these business conversations. Aspiring models who are legally underage must have their legal guardian to co-sign the mother agency agreement.
What gorgeous ladies! Be sure to support them in the direction of education, too! Modeling doesn't last forever.
Do they look after and accompany these young women that they've scouted to prevent them being put in abusive situations that have happen in the past i wonder.
Agencies that are actually reputable pay very close attention to their models and their safety. If an agency allows a model to work in an abusive situation that agency is not reputable and should not be allowed to be doing business
I’m glad that she went over that you don’t have to pay-to-play. But it’s a shame that they only showed standard size models when the industry has evolved way past just that.
One of the girls was bigger than the others. She would definitely not be considered a traditional-size model.
i'm 5'8 and have applied, but in los angeles and since 2018 until now, i found out that they didn't even open the emails i sent them.
I don’t know if I would be proud of this. Introducing them to the possibility of eating disorders, predatory men and being treated like an object. It’s looks aspirational but there’s plenty of evidence that it sucks.
@@bbumblebtrue - but this industry seems to have an overabundance of evil that most other careers don’t have. You only need to see the 60 minutes Australia documentary about Gerald Marie to see the inherent problems with modelling.
also inherently it’s just glamourising being a meat billboard for an industry that is destroying the planet
To be honest, that's the entertainment industry as a whole, not just modeling.
I agree with both comments I also think these days a lot of modelling can be prostitution
Plenty of girls want to be models, they appear to be educated and able to make their own decisions. Don’t see the problem.
Hi
What kind of phone is she using at the beginning?
It looks like an android.
Samsung!
Do you maybe know which Samsung phone? :)

Thank you! @@advazingher3430
I miss the days when models were beautiful.
Same now anyone can be a model.
@@dm-jf5uu Back in the day, they were 'discovered,' because of something that was unique.
I'd like to be a model but I don't have the face for current society's beauty standard :(
You can be a Instagram model
@@madisonj5136well that is grim 🤣
girl,fuck society beauty standards,there are many girls who were not considered beautiful back in the 90's but now are sought after,society beauty standards keep on changing so find your beauty because im sure you are beautiful
