How to Choose the Right Modeling Agency for You

For those hoping to lead a successful modeling career, getting agency representation is the first step into the industry.

It makes sense because agencies are the experts, they have the connections, established working relationships with clients large and small, as well as the know-how to market models and negotiate the best pay rates for gigs.

I have written many blog posts related to the topic of modeling agencies but figured it would be helpful to do an updated post of sorts that provides a basic breakdown of just how to choose an agency that would be a good fit for you.

Of course I can't speak for everyone so consider the information below as a more generalized version of tips and things to keep in mind during your agency search.

LOCATION IS KEY

A general rule of thumb is to submit to agencies that are no farther than a 2 hour's drive from where you live. Being further makes agencies hesitant because they need models to be available on short notice.

Despite how confident a model may feel that she/he can accommodate a last minute casting, the truth is it's often difficult to drop everything and make arrangements to drive far or spend money on a flight to try and make a casting. Agencies know this and would rather not take the risk of trusting a model's word alone. Being close to the agency's location and client base is vital.

The concept of relocating to be closer to agencies is a risky and expensive one that should be made very carefully. Runway/ fashion model hopefuls may have housing options offered to them once they are signed to an agency but this is not guaranteed and not all agencies provide housing. So don't assume that will automatically happen for you should you choose to pick up and move.
