In�interviews models always talk about that magical moment when they were “discovered” whether it be in�the�market, going to�school, or�walking around town- someone noticed these young girls and�approached them about the�idea of�modeling. Of�course, going from talking to�a�talent scout to�a�full fledged international modeling career is a�long process, but it’s how many young girls are introduced to�the modeling�realm.

Who are the reps finding them? Talent scouts like Alisson Chornak, make a�living venturing into rural areas of�Brazil and�talking to�local girls about the�prospect of�modeling. The�New� York Times took time to�follow Chornak around as�he scouts for�the�next Gisele B�ndchen or�Alessandra Ambrosio (both from Brazil) in�the�video linked below. Chornak provides a�unique glimpse into how modeling can drastically change lives for�these rural beauties.
