Now with that, the local agency will explain to you, the ways about going to get a job, and they'll make sure that they stay in touch with you, with different jobs that are going on, whether it's fashion modeling, if it's catalogs, print work.

the teen market is called the junior market
most teens models are between 5'6 - 5'10 depending on the agency requirements and the models look. we want to stress if you really want to be a teen model to keep trying different agencies if not accepted by the lst ones you go to see. the reason you may not have been accepted at this time is that the agency already has another model with your look. or at this time your look may not be quite what their agency is looking for. always do your homework and research the agencies you are going to visit get recommendations. good luck and have fun! most important be safe
