Commercial Modeling/Which Market? (NYC/Japan)

Hi! I was street casted a few times (received business cards) by Japanese agencies (for Japanese citizens) a few years back. I went through a few interviews and didn’t hear back from most. I was told that I’d be best for glamour modeling/tarento (tv personality) work.

I decided to go back to America and had a mother agency in Florida.

Last year, I signed with a Japanese agency for a total of 6-7 months that required me to be exclusive to them. I got feedback that “sexy is not welcome for the newest generation” according to my look, but that they’d keep advocating. I left due to not seeing a future at that point.

My Instagram @emikelly_official has some of my portfolio photos.

1. Are my digitals okay and reflective of me?
2. At my height, I’d like to go for swim/beauty. Would that be possible for me?
3. Am I more US market friendly, or was I with the wrong agency in Japan?

Any feedback is welcome! I’m based in the NYC metro area.
