Modeling Agencies

Hiring a model directly through Modelfactory or Model Scramble can be hit or miss. As Forrest Gump would have said, it's like a box of chocolates. You never know what you're going to get.

If you have the budget and need great models quickly, you can work with a local modeling agency. This is often a small business that has a stable of experienced models on call and can make recommendations for your project. The agency can provide you with headshots and sample photos and coordinate scheduling.

Of course, you pay for this service, usually with a percentage overhead. And the model is likely to be priced on the higher side. Prices depend on the agency and quality of the models, and how well you can negotiate.
