Los Angeles Modeling Agency – Advice

So, you really want a Los Angeles modeling agency? You’ve arrived. It’s unbelievable! You made it to Los Angeles “the big time” and your ready to make money. Well, now that your here and ready to work let me give you a few tips to help you land your first agent.

1. Have a few natural light snapshots taken of you by a friend. Before you approach an agency you will only need snapshots. Agencies prefer to see you as you are.

2. Check the Los Angeles modeling agency’s website or call the agencies and find out when they see models. This is referred to as an “open call.” Agents set a certain amount of time per month aside to meet new models.

3. Bring your snapshots, dress well, be nice and prepared to answer any questions asked of you.

4. Be thin. The ideal fashion models height for women is approx 5’9″ tall. You should weigh between 110 and 120 lbs. It is very important for you to keep this weight and maintain this weight throughout your career as a model to succeed in this business. Hire a personal trainer and employ the services of a nutritionist if necessary. Find a way.

5. Be on time and don’t party until the crack of dawn. There is nothing worse than a client being stood up by a model who partied too hard the night before a shoot. If a client, fashion photographer and crew are waiting on you then you will be easily replaced and possibly dropped by your agency. Be a professional.

6. Get amazing pics from professional photographers. Now that you have a modeling agency you need to practice your craft and get as much experience as possible. I have never understood models who don’t test. I met a celebrity actor in an acting workshop. He was extremely excited to practice his craft. You need to have that same ethic. This business is a process and you need to keep shooting, discovering, and reinventing yourself.

7. Subscribe to fashion magazines. Know who the players are in this business. Educate yourself.

8. Choose the agency that chooses you. There are so many agencies in LA. Ford, Elite, Next, Nous, Photogenics, Wilhelmina, Click and more. Go with the agent who is most excited to work with you. Trust your instincts.

I know many models in Los Angeles who are making a ton of money with the help of their Los Angeles modeling agency. Please continue reading my blog for secret tips on how to become a successful fashion model and visit my personal website at:
