Tips & Warnings
Look for an agent who specializes in working with models. Ask for advice from other models in your area about how to become a model.
Beware of model casting scams. Reputable agents get paid on commission when they obtain work for their clients. They never take money directly from the models they represent. Beware of agents who try to require you to use their own photography services --- you can hire any photographer you choose.

I am a 65 year old woman who have been told too many times that I look 50 that I want to now pursue this possible adventure. I would love to do be a face model, which I feel is my best feature. I have modeled years ago and loved it. If you can help me reach a dream that I have had for years I would more than be grateful to you. I am a dreamer, always have been, always will be. My husband says that I missed my calling but life takes you down some paths that prevent your dreams to happen. I want to be an aspiration for women who think they can't achieve a life long dream but in reality if you believe enough you will never let that dream go. Thank you and if you are interested in contacting me please do so on my facebook.
