What follows are a general set of requirements for mainstream modeling. These requirements vary by market and by company. I called only two major modeling agencies to get their requirements. (Ford and Elite) These are two major/top ten agencies with offices in different modeling markets, The major US modeling markets are NY, LA, Chicago, and Miami! I called these agencies and visited their Websites to try to get a better idea of people to target when I am out recruiting! I don't work for either agency!
General Requirements
Age requirements varied from 14-22! Height requirements were Women 5'7"-5'11," and Men 6'-6'2," but again the LA market might go to 6'3" for men only.
Markets contacted were NY, LA, Miami, and Chicago.
Websites like One Model Place, Model Locate, Model Mayhem,etc...are a waste of time and sometimes money in my opinion. It's fine if you want to keep wasting your time and sometimes your money by just paying someone to host your images, but if you want real work, go with an innovator in Digital Imaging! Me! Enough said!
I judge all models mainly by their facial features. For my personal projects there is an age requirement of 14-30 and no height requirement! I look for faces, but your height and weight should be proportionate. If it isn't, join me on the bike trail for one summer and we'll get it there! All models must sign liability waivers and service contracts on a per assignment basis and must provide me with a copy of their ID to prove their ages! All minor models must have liability waivers, permission slips, and service contracts signed by their parent(s)/Adult Guardian prior to any shoot. All this paperwork must be resigned by the model after turning 18! Parents of minor models must provide copies of their ID and their child's ID for my records! There are no exceptions to my paperwork rules!
My requirements are somewhat flexible! I hate tattoos! If you want to be a model and have tats, wait until you are too old to model and then get your tats! Because I don't set the requirements for the two major agencies that I have contacted, I have no control over them! If you want to discuss a shoot, or what to do to start or further your career in modeling, visit my contact me page! There you will find many different ways to contact me including my various chat sn's. You can call me, text me, or chat with me in real time by using one of my chat sn's and adding me to your list. I'm very honest and open about my calendar projects and what I can and can't do to assist potential models!
