Most asked questions:

1. Basic Requirements

• What age do I need to be to apply?
  Many agencies have minimum age requirements, often starting around 14–16 for fashion modeling, though some accept younger talent for child modeling.
• What height and body measurements are required?
  High-fashion modeling often has strict height and size requirements (e.g., 5’8”–6’0” for women, 5’11”–6’3” for men), though commercial modeling is more flexible.
• Do I need experience?
  Most agencies accept new faces without experience, but a strong portfolio can help.
• Are there any specific looks or ethnicities you’re seeking?
  Agencies may look for diversity, specific features, or a certain type of “marketable look” for clients.

2. Portfolio & Comp Cards

• What photos do I need to submit?
  Agencies usually ask for:
  
  • Headshot (natural, no makeup)
  • Full-body shot (simple clothing)
  • Optional: professional shots if you have them
• Do I need professional photos, or can I use selfies?
  Agencies often accept clear, natural photos for first submissions but professional images are preferred once selected.
• Do I need a modeling comp card?
  Only necessary after signing or for submissions to certain clients. Not usually required for the first application.

3. Application Process

  Options include online application forms, email submissions, social media submissions, or attending open calls.
• What information should I include in my application?
  Typically:
  
  • Name, age, contact info
  • Height, weight, measurements
  • Shoe size
  • Relevant experience or training (optional)
  • Links to social media or online portfolio
• How long does it take to hear back?
  Response times vary: some agencies respond in days, others may take weeks.

4. Contracts & Fees

• Is it free to apply?
  Legitimate agencies do not charge upfront fees to submit. Be cautious of agencies that do.
• Will I have to pay for photos, classes, or promotions?
  Some agencies may require a small investment in digitals or professional photos after signing.

  Agencies may offer exclusive or non-exclusive contracts, typically lasting 1–3 years.

5. Career & Expectations

  Many agencies are based in major cities like NYC, LA, or Miami. High-fashion opportunities may require relocation.

  Depends on whether your contract is exclusive or non-exclusive.
• What types of modeling do you represent?
  Fashion, commercial, fitness, plus-size, runway, promotional, or niche modeling.

6. Social Media & Online Presence

  Clean, professional photos and a consistent aesthetic can make a strong impression.
