How does a Model Agency work?

How does a Model Agency work?

MODEL AGENCIES MANAGE YOUR MODELING CAREER BY ADVISING YOU ACCORDING TO THEIR EXPERIENCE AND THEIR EXPERTISE. THEY ALSO PROMOTE YOU TO THE RIGHT PARTIES: BRANDS, CASTING DIRECTORS, PHOTOGRAPHERS…
THEY ARE THE LINK BETWEEN YOU AND THE FASHION WORLD, AND THEY WILL KNOW PRECISELY WHO TO INTRODUCE TO A CLIENT. AFTER ALL, IT’S THEIR JOB!
MOST IMPORTANTLY, THEY BOOK YOU ON SAFE MODELING CONTRACTS. THEY HAVE THE EXPERIENCE, SO THEY CAN MAKE SURE THAT EVERYTHING IS DONE SERIOUSLY AND SAFELY.
MODEL AGENCIES TAKE CARE OF EVERYTHING FROM INTROS TO CLIENTS’ PAYMENTS FOR THE WORK YOU HAVE DONE.

Commissions

Agencies make money by taking a commission on what you earn. If you are confirmed by an agency, you’ll sign a contract with them.
Models can be signed with several agencies around the world chosen by your mother agency – that is how you become known internationally
Overseas contracts have to always be approved by the mother agency
When you are ready and also when you are out of school, they can introduce you to foreign agencies .

Clients and contacts

Reputable model agencies are often well established. What makes them famous is their potential to give you the opportunity of being on the best jobs.
Success in the fashion and modeling world is really about hard work and being managed by the right agent who knows the right people.

Traveling commodities

They also take care of your travel needs: plane tickets, hotels and other administrative stuff you’ll need overseas (you’ll have to do some things by yourself but they are always here to advise you if needed).
They’ll need to know where you are and know about your availability so that they can book you and organise shoots with clients and so on.
You’ll receive a brief with all the details of your trip and your job. Plane tickets, schedules and instructions

Managing their models

A big part of an agency and its model agents’ work is taking care of their models. The agency organises meetings with its models to take updated polaroids, check their measurements and motivate them to achieve their goals, take snapshots or videos for special castings and clients’ demands, train them at walking like a pro.
Often, they will discuss your career, its progress and help you to be well prepared! Knowing their models’ schedules and life updates are very important to help them build careers.
Agencies keep their models’ pictures updated on their website or for the clients. Modeling agencies invest in you. And there is no time more important than at the beginning of your career. Check out our article How much does a First Model Portfolio cost? to learn more about this.

Different types of modeling

Here we will describe the many different types of modeling you will find in the modeling industry. Some models only fit into one category, while another model may fit into multiple. With that in mind, here are the types of modeling categories at a glance: FASHION MODEL:  This category is the most exclusive and most difficult of all categories for a model to get into, much less succeed in. As a whole, a fashion model MUST be tall, young, and thin. In addition, there are fashion model “size requirements”, and hardly any exceptions made in terms of that. While there is no universally-agreed upon, OFFICIAL “fashion-industry size-standard”, the size requirements in fashion modeling are TYPICALLY as follows: Female Fashion Models: Model Height Requirement: 5’9” to 6”. (There are exceptions within one inch, and MAYBE two, of this standard. Anything beyond that is extremely unlikely to be considered.) Model Measurement Requirement: 34-24-34. (There are exceptions within on...

Read this information carefully . Very few people can do ALL of these types of modeling. Many categories have very specific physical or skill requirements.  Be realistic when setting your goals .
