Become a model: The first step

Good and reputable modeling agency!

New York, Paris, London, Shanghai, the big cities attract 10.000 models to the city center, for example at the Fashion Weeks. But few live locally, so you should also apply in a model agency that is in your own country, sometimes in your city, for example if you live in Los Angeles.

This is how it works: you have a local model agency (mother agency), this is usually based in your country. The city is not so important, especially in Europe, where cities are very close to each other. This ‘local’ model agency represents you at home, but also abroad. For this, your mother agency works with partners, for example, in London, Paris, Shanghai, New York, Los Angeles or even in cities like Amsterdam, Hamburg or Barcelona.

Local model agency suburb: mother agency

So your very first step is to apply in a model agency in your country. That’s why you can find not only the big cities, but also countries in the overview. When you have found a good model agency in your country where you can work as a model, the next step is to build your model portfolio (photos from test shoots with good photographers and from jobs with clients).

If you are always on time, clients are happy with your work, you are ambitious, then your mother agency will also take care of the next step, modeling abroad. As a young model this means 30 to 90 days on location in a city, e.g. London, Paris or Milan.
