Hi Jill! For the top agencies, I would say your age will be a deal breaker, especially if you don’t have a solid portfolio and experience already. But some agency have divisions for older models. Check out this agency: https://www.modelingmentor.com/blog/modeling-agency-snapshot-bicoastal-fitting-models/
You also could start by freelancing: https://www.modelingmentor.com/blog/tuesday-tip-the-ins-outs-of-freelance-modeling/

Best of luck!

Hi Jill,

I haven’t seen a question similar to mine posted yet so I hope you can answer the following. I just moved to NY and would like to go to open calls. I’m 29 years young. My height is 5’9″ and I’m especially interested in lifestyle, creative and artistic modeling (so not necessarily the run-way high-fashion type of modeling). Does it make sense for me to show up at open calls when there are no age restrictions posted on the website or I’m too old to be taken into consideration? Thanks!

Hi Brittany. Where are you based? In NYC? The market you are working in will be a factor in my advice. Thanks for reading Jill

5’8″ tends to be the minimum so you have to think outside the fashion modeling box. Do you have any interest in acting? There is a fair amount of crossover between modeling and acting. You could get some acting training and try to get a talent agent. Take a look at these posts:

Hi Denise,

The photos and info you submit there will help me in advising you. This is not a scam. I just try to give honest, direct advice, with no ulterior motive. That is hard to come by in this business!
All the best,
Jill

Hi! My name is Brittany,
I’m 25 years old and 5’8″. I’ve freelanced with modeling for a while and never tried to get an agent. I’ve recently worked with some models that were older than me that signed to pretty big agencies and they were encouraging me to try and do the same. I’m always told I should pursue it and I look young. Is it an issue that I’m 25 and 5’8″? I’m trying to get a good idea of where I should submit to.

Thank you!!!
