The diversity of modeling agencies

One of the most important things Stephan emphasizes is the diversity of modeling agencies. There are agencies for different looks and types, be it for TV commercials or high fashion. Model Agency One will help you find the right agency for your individual needs.

3 valuable tips for modeling

Stephan shares three crucial tips for aspiring models:

1. Check the agency’s portfolio and work: Take a look at the agency’s models, jobs and clients. This will give you an insight into their quality and experience.
2. Never pay money for a contract: Reputable agencies earn money by placing jobs, not prospective models.
3. Apply to several agencies: Apply to several agencies in your city. This increases your chances of being selected by an agency that will support you.

The importance of Polaroids

You don’t need professional photos for your application. Agencies often work with Polaroids, natural photos taken in daylight. Your smartphone is enough to take portrait and full-body photos.

In the selection of agencies for kids, it is especially important to me to make sure that:

• The website is actively maintained and looks appealing
  (just as customers would see a page)
• The blog is filled with new jobs and shoots
• Social media channels (especially Facebook, Instagram) are used
  (this also helps the promotion of child models).

The perfect model agency for kids! My recommendations

Serious child model agencies organize castings and appointments for jobs so that everything goes according to the law. Children are allowed to work only under certain conditions.

For example, you need a certificate from the public health officer to be allowed to do jobs. The requirements for jobs also differ. While adult models usually work 8 hours, boys and girls are (currently) allowed a maximum of 3 hours. Babies are only allowed on set for a maximum of 30 minutes. Extremely important is also a close communication of the agency with you as mom and dad.

• Close communication with mum and / or dad, or the legal guardians
• Special requirements for the work of Kids & Babies

So that you have a good overview of the child model agencies, you find here our list with respectable model agencies, for all cities from Duesseldorf to Hamburg and Berlin.

Good luck with becoming a model!
