Agency Directory
The extensive city-by-city agency directory includes some of the top talent agents worldwide, from model agencies to agents representing photographers, hair and makeup artists, set designers and a wide range of the industry’s top talent. Please note that while the agency directory lists established professional agencies, it is a paid listing and Models.com does not endorse, or recommend, or vouch for the fitness as talent agents of any specific agency. To be listed the verification an agency has to provide is limited to providing references from other established agencies, or clients, or talent they represent, or to show a body of work with established clients for the talent they represent.

The Models.com directory, with Premium, Standard and Basic agencies are paid placements with different levels of services. The type of listing an agency has does not reflect how they are viewed in the industry. The Premium listing does not mean an agency is considered better than an agency with a Standard or Basic listing.

A word on safety: Before reaching out to or meeting with any agency we always recommend doing your research on the agency and/or agent, asking for references and going to meetings accompanied. Also please note while some agencies scout for talent via social media or online there are a lot of scams/imposters, if you get contacted on social media you should always check that the contact you received is legitimate by contacting the agency directly by phone or by checking their official web site.

Using these resources to understand how this industry works will be key to help you take the initiative in aligning yourself with the best people to reach your full potential as a model.

To have a professional model page on Models.com, your first step is to be represented by an agency or to be already working with high-caliber clients in the industry. Visit our modeling agency directory to find contacts for agencies nearest to you. Later, if you end up with a professional page on Models.com, have your agency reach out to us so we can link your Models.com account to your page so you can control it directly.

Just a reminder, Models.com is NOT an agency.

*As of February 2019: Models.com has removed the unrepresented model portfolio section. if you would like to become a model, visit our Modeling Agencies page to find an agency to send your photos to.*
