Go directly to the agencies:
There are many modeling agencies, so the first option you have is to track them down and find them yourself. Unfortunately, one of the biggest problems you have with this is that there are thousands of agencies and it can be difficult to determine which ones are legitimate and which ones are just wasting your time. At the same time, getting into a large agency on your own can be a difficult task, especially if you don’t know anyone.
First, find out what type of model you are:
Depending on your age, height, and weight, certain agencies specialize in working with a specific type of talent. If you are under the age of 16, you are considered an adolescent model. Most teen models are books by catalog or printed in local markets.
For high fashion models, also known as editorials, they are required to be at least 5 feet 9 inches for women and at least 6 feet 1 inch for men. The industry is primarily made up of print or commercial talent, which is generally reserved for domestic and lifestyle brands. Commercial printing work is very lucrative.
Plus size modeling has become increasingly popular as most major agencies now have divisions specializing in full talents. To be considered plus size. sizes for female models start at size 8 and up Like commercial modeling, plus size modeling and acting is very lucrative as most agents only represent a few in their divisions.
Scout modeling:
Another option for finding a modeling agent or agency is to go through a headhunter. As the name suggests, model seekers scour the country and try to find models and usually get some kind of fee for bringing new talent to an agency or directly to an agent. However, just like going directly to an agent, not all model scouts are reputable, so you risk wasting your time.
Online Social Media Marketing:
Most models and actors go online to promote themselves to model agents and talent scouts. While exposure is key in the entertainment business, posting on social media doesn’t allow a model or actor to strictly direct attention to industry professionals. For new models or actors just starting out in the entertainment business, posting certain content online may be prohibited by your full-time employer, so it’s always best to try to contact agencies or scouts directly.
