How to get signed in Los Angeles

  1. Know your market. Fashion boards want height; commercial, curve and lifestyle boards want a real, bookable look. Apply where you fit.
  2. Take polas, not photo shoots. Four phone pictures in daylight beat any expensive portfolio for a first application.
  3. Lead with your stats. Height, bust/waist/hips, dress size, age and city belong in the first line.
  4. Follow up once. No answer after two to three weeks usually means no for now. Try again in six months with new polas.

Questions

How tall do you have to be to model in Los Angeles?

For fashion and runway boards, Los Angeles agencies that publish a minimum ask for about 5'8" (173 cm) and up. Commercial, lifestyle, curve and petite boards take women of other heights. The lowest published minimum among the agencies on this page is 5'6".

Do modeling agencies in Los Angeles charge fees?

Legitimate agencies never charge you to sign, and never require you to buy photo shoots, classes or a website listing. They earn a commission when you book work. Every agency on this page was checked for upfront fees; if anyone asks you for money to be represented, walk away.

How do I apply to a modeling agency in Los Angeles?

Take four simple digitals (polas) in daylight against a plain wall: front, profile, full length and a smile, with no filters and little make-up. Send them with your height, measurements, age and city through the agency's online form or email, or go to an open call (3 agencies here hold them). Apply to the boards that fit you, not to every agency.

Can I model in Los Angeles if I'm curvy, petite or over 30?

Yes. 6 of these agencies have a curve board. 3 represent classic or mature models. 5 have commercial or lifestyle boards, where real-life looks book most of the work.
