## Resource

Ellen Burton is an international beauty and fashion model whose career has taken her across major markets including Milan, Paris, LA and Australia. In this episode, she reflects on starting out as a teenager in Norfolk, the early experiences that helped build her confidence, and how a dramatic haircut became a turning point in her career.  She talks about being introduced to top photographer Rankin, shooting for Hunger magazine, working on a Prada story, and how those opportunities helped open doors internationally. Ellen also discusses the different sides of modelling, including beauty, editorial and commercial work, and what it takes to adapt across markets, clients and creative teams.  This conversation also touches on what she believes makes a good model, why ego has to be left at the door, the importance of trusting your agent, and how the industry continues to change with social media, longer model careers and the growing conversation around AI.  www.businessofmodelling.co.uk   Hosted on Acast.
