In the modeling industry, many models starting out are commercial print talent. Commercial print talent make up most of the modeling industry as they represent what we call “real people” castings. This makes starting out as a model or actor a fun hobby for most new comers.

To become a model, it takes time and a sense of being realistic. There is never a guarantee of landing jobs, any one that promises you that is not being honest. Also, anyone that says that modeling is free, is not accurate. Getting signed to an agency in 2021 takes more than luck, it takes being seen by the right people in the digital world, as many agencies no longer host open casting calls. In fact, IMG models stopped all open casting calls permanently according to their website.

To become a model, you have to get really good photographs. But that doesn’t mean you should spend thousands of dollars at one time. Another step could be to shop them to agencies. If you don’t hear back that is so very common, instead focus on landing casting calls online. Getting casting calls that match you is really hard and time consuming. Also, subscribing to a ton of websites is expensive and couple cost a model or actor hundreds a month. Using an easy platform like Latitude Talent can help beginner models get the tools and resources at the lowest cost possible in a New York market. In fact, photography is complimentary for new talent brought in from enrollment at meeting, making it a great way to build your portfolio starting out. Want to start out, the first step is coming in to learn and see if you are right for what our service can offer. If you are looking for an agency or a company to manage you on a commission, Latitude is not for you. If you are looking for a service to help you get access to to opportunities, Latitude Talent is a great first step in the right direction.

Cam’s best friend who disappears without a trace. Carefree and confident in all the ways that Cam isn’t.

GARRETT – mid- to late-20s

ALEC – early 30s
