Will I have to take modeling classes or will I have to get an expensive portfolio?

No . We are not a school and there are no portfolios required. You will need to go through a professional photo session to get modeling pictures or head shots. This is something that everyone goes through when they are starting out. The photos are needed to show to potential clients on interviews and auditions . Avoid any additional expences like courses, classes, conventions or other types of photo services that seem out of the ordinary.

I went to an agency and they wanted a lot of money for pictures. Is this normal?

If an agency is interested in you they will need modeling pictures or head shots. You will also need to have them for your auditions and "go sees", however, be aware that some places have very high prices for a basic photo shoot. You should check out a few companies to compare price and the quality of their work. Also note that there is a difference between modeling pictures and a commercial head shot for acting. Don't use an agency who only does one type of picture for everyone. Also, if they are asking for lot of money for things like classes or conventions and are pressuring you to "sign up right now" then keep looking.

How do I know which agency is right for me?

This depends on what type of work you are looking for and what area of modeling you fit into. If you are looking to model for magazines, catalogs and advertisements look for a agency that works mainly with models. If you are more the character type and want to get into acting for films, videos and commercials than look for a talent or casting agent. If you are not sure what type you are then go on a few interviews or consultations to get an opinion from an agent or talent manager. Look for someone with many years of experience and has a good reputation in the industry.

What if I am already with another agency or model manager?

You should still try out with other model searches. Most models do not have exclusive modeling contracts and you usually can work with other companies. Check with your agent or manager first to be sure. If you have modeling pictures or head shots then go to the application page and send it in with your photos.

If I send in pictures will you put them on your web site?

We will not use any photos you send us with out the proper authorization. If we are interested in working with you an interview or "test shoot" will be arraigned and we'll go over all the proper procedures before any steps are taken.
