Modeling

Is it unrealistic to try to become a model? I’m almost 22, although I do look very young for my age. I don’t really know anything about modeling. But I feel like it could make a decent job. A couple photographers have asked to shoot me to build their portfolio. I didn’t do it because it skeeved me out because they were guys and I have a boyfriend. But everyone always says I’d have a good chance. How do you even go about trying?

I am kind of embarrassed about wanting to try and don’t even want to tell my SO. Because if I’m not good enough, I would be so embarrassed.

Anyway, how would I go about trying? I’m not exactly toned right now. Do I have to do swim suit stuff? Im comfortable with showing skin, just would rather not do anything in a suit or lingerie.
