  1. Step 1

    How to submit photos to agencies
    call the local modeling and talent agencies in you area
    email photos to the modeling agency women's board
    send photos in postal mail
    if they have an open call - when they see new faces at the agency then plan to go to it and have the agents meet with you in person
    always include you height, age, sizes, phone, if you go to school and email address.

  2. Step 2

    If the agency is interested in you they will get in contact with you from one of the contact numbers or email you sent to them.

    you can check in with the agency after a few weeks and see if they received your photos - remember they see hundreds of photos so they may not remember who you are unless they would like to meet with you at an open call at the agency.

  3. Step 3

    If the agency calls you in to meet with them you will take one or both of your parents with you to the meeting.

    the agents will discuss their policy and how they work with you and your parents and decided if the fit is going to be right for both the model and the agency.

Tips & Warnings
  • Always have a good attitude, be professional and dress neatly, very natural on the makeup and hair for appointments with the agency if they call you in to meet with them.
  • we do not recommend freelance modeling for teen models
  • freelance modeling is working without any agency representation.
  • we do not recommend going to any photography studio by yourself always take someone with you. Think Safety first
