Vetted agencies for commercial, baby, kids, family, plus size, mature, fitness, editorial and unique looks — filtered by where you live and who you are. Open any agency for its full submission profile: how they take submissions, exactly what to send, and the format that gets read. Save the ones that fit, then submit with confidence.
Filter to you. Pick your region and the category that describes you or your child.
Open the profile. See how each agency accepts submissions and precisely what to send.
Shortlist, then submit. Save your picks, copy the template, send one clean email per agency.
Every agency on this list receives hundreds of emails a week. The ones that get opened all look the same — and it isn't the prettiest photos. It's the cleanest information.
Two to four simple phone photos, shot in daylight against a plain wall. No filters, no heavy makeup, no props, no professional retouching.
Agencies scan for facts first. Put them in the body of the email, never in an attachment.
Five to seven lines. Subject line first, then who you are, then what's attached. Copy the template from any agency profile above.
Silence is normal. Agencies file submissions and pull them when a client brief matches. Your job is to stay current.
Agencies are organized by division. Submitting to the right one — with the right materials — is half the battle.
Commercial modeling is local. Most bookings happen within driving distance of the agency, so start with your own market and grow outward.
Every agency on this list was reviewed against these rules. Use them on anyone who contacts you — especially on social media.
Simple, unretouched phone snapshots that show what you look like today. The only photos most agencies want first.
A one-page card with your best photo, stats and contact details. Agencies produce it once you're signed; independents make their own.
The agency's cut of a booking — usually 10–20% from you, plus a fee billed to the client. It is how legitimate agencies make money.
Exclusive means one agency represents you in a market. Non-exclusive (common in commercial) lets you work with several.
Your home agency that places you with partner agencies in other markets and takes a share of those bookings.
Set hours when an agency sees walk-ins in person. Bring digitals, stats and a parent if under 18.
A short in-person or self-tape audition for a specific job. Usually unpaid; sometimes with a small fitting fee.
A second look after a casting. Fewer people, higher odds.
What the client pays to use your image, on top of the day rate — by territory, medium and time period.
A job offered without a casting, based on your digitals or comp card alone. The goal of a strong submission.
The commercial division that books everyday-looking families, couples, professionals and seniors — the largest category of work.
