Featured Male Model: Jamie Mann

I noticed a HUGE jump in my site traffic yesterday, so I decided to give you all something new to look at. Introducing Model of the Month, Jamie Mann (aka my oldest child and not really a model, so let’s see how long it takes him to notice this is here and yell at me to take it down).

Name: Jamie Mann

Height: 6’1″
Suit: 38L (I’m making this up. I really have no idea. Guys out there, does this sound about right?)
Shoe: 11 1/2
Base: New York

I call this Jamie Mann, surfer boy tough guy. By Curtis & Cort. (He is going to tell my how cringe-y this is.)

Obviously this is Jamie Mann, pretty boy. By Curtis & Cort.

This is one Mom doesn’t really want to label. We will call it: Where did my little boy go?

Modeling Mentor Winners Land Top Modeling Agents, Fashion Editorial, and Talent Agents!

It’s been a super exciting year at Modelingmentor.com. Our Models of the Month are gaining international recognition from agencies and clients, and I can hardly keep up with all the updates on contracts, bookings, and adventures! Since we are mid-way through 2018, I thought I’d share some updates, which are sure to inspire those of you who dream of pursuing a path as a model or performer.

Em Marie, Model of the Year 2016

After I scouted Em Marie while she was performing in Maine (she is a dancer and aerialist, in addition to being stunning…and kind and sweet and super disciplined and basically a role model in every way!), she promptly landed an agent. Em, along with her mom, has had an amazing time in Tokyo with Image Models. Stay tuned for a guest post from her on her experiences there. Highlight: A 7-page editorial in Ginza magazine!

Alexa Kissling, Model of the Year 2017

Alexa entered my model search last year, and I was instantly wowed by her email submission! On Zoom, I was smitten with this cutie’s personality (and she was just as gorgeous without a bit of makeup as she was in her photos). The Industry Model Management immediately noticed the 5’10″ lanky beauty. Now Alexa is living in New York and living her dream as a model with The Industry. Compare her Model of the Year photos to these latest shots, and check out the transformation! This girl is such a chameleon. She can do it all!

Isabelle Boughner, Model of the Month, October 2015

Isabelle has hit the magic age of 16, when model development really kicks in for women. She is the complete package of adorable, cool, and talented (she is a guitarist, singer, and composer). I’m in love with this test shoot she did in Westport, CT.

Julianne Walker, Model of the Month, February 2018

I’ve had an eye on Julianne for almost her whole life (she happens to be my husband’s second cousin!). Julianne signed with a mother agent within a couple months of winning Model of the Month. She has begun testing and just graduated from high school. Julianne will attend UVA in the fall and continue to build up her portfolio and pursue modeling opportunities in the summer months.

Ida Nevstad, Model of the Month, May 2018

Ida also has been offered a contract by an agent! She has been testing and finishing her busy junior year. She will be heading to Europe for part of the summer.

Cooper Gusick, Model of the Month, November 2015

Cutie Cooper just signed with Innovative Artists, a top talent agency in New York (and L.A.). His face is already known the world over from this Dear Evan Hansen Mash-Up (Minute 1:50). I can’t wait to watch this great kid’s career!

Top Commercial Modeling Agents in New York

jill — Tue, 05 Mar 2013 18:18:32 +0000

We hear a lot about modeling agencies, but commercial or talent agents fly more under the radar. If you are interested in castings/ auditions for commercials, voiceovers, TV, film, and theater, you need a different type of agency than a model seeking fashion editorials, advertising, and runway work. Also, you do not have to worry about strict height and weight guidelines like models do. Actors come in all sizes, shapes, ages, and types. Of course the model type is one of them, so models should also consider having a commercial agent (often your print agent, especially in New York, will have a working relationship with a commercial agent).

Here is a list of reputable commercial agents in New York (representing adults, kids, or in some cases both):
