I'm more like neutral about this.

If you picked no, lemme see you try walking down a runway without looking dumb as hell. Lemme see you navigate the business and interactions required to get gigs and please everyone. Modeling requires talent, and modeling is a valid job.

If you're good looking, I think anyone can pose an get their pictures taken.

Agree with tamore.

It's definitely a lot more difficult than you'd think.

It requires just as much talent as singing does

i'm ugly, no amount of talent in any of the previously pointed-out will allow me to be a model. if something is truly a talent then it should be something that almost anyone can train for/toward. modeling is something you got to have in your appearance. it's something that is more about how your body looks as your grown up then what you've trained yourself for in that body.

gonna say... no it's not really a talent, but the areas around it, such as the business side may require above average knowledge in the field... it may also require a good amount of confidence, which isn't really talent related but it's something that is super desirable to have.
