After you are through with a portfolio, the next step is to find a suitable modelling agency. It is advisable to find an agency to represent and promote you as a model. Their job is to sell you, just as if
you were a new product, and it is you that employ them. Just as in a standard job, you must pay your
agency for the job they do ("commission"). However, there are a lot of scam agencies out there, so keep your eyes open.....
NEVER:
1. Pay to join an agency
2. Sign with agencies that sell useless classes (any good legit agency will teach you what you need to
know for free)
3. Get involved with agencies that sell in-house photography resulting in a portfolio all shot by one person - this is a major no-no that is so common.
What do agencies do?
1. They find new faces.
2. They advise and train their models.
3. They promote their models.
4. They schedule and book their models.
5. They bill clients and collect fees.
Finding an agency :
You can visit the modelling agencies listed for your city. They will be able to tell you if you have real modeling potential. Otherwise, do some research and find out which agencies in your area are the best, then visit them. Bring about 5 snapshots - full length in a dress, bathing suit and headshots
