Agencies sign models for who they are, not who they might become. Changing your look before you’ve been evaluated professionally by a model agency often creates confusion instead of opportunity. It becomes harder to place you because your appearance is inconsistent across submissions and in person.

There are moments when a change makes sense. A specific role might require a haircut. A campaign might request a different presentation. An agency may recommend refinement after they understand where you book best. Those changes come with context and timing.

For beginners, consistency matters more than transformation.

Present yourself honestly. Submit the same look everywhere. Let professionals guide adjustments when they are actually relevant. A legitimate agency will not ask you to reinvent yourself just to be considered.

Latitude Talent tends to work well for new models because it allows people to learn how their look reads in real casting environments before altering anything that doesn’t need fixing.

Your job early on is not to become someone else. It’s to be clear.
