When following the quest to get started in modeling, there are certain things that need to be tackled one at a time. The first step to landing modeling jobs with New York agents is to ask yourself a few questions. Here is the starting point for beginner models.

• Am I tall enough to model? - The major NYC modeling agents, especially those involved in high fashion and runway want girls who are tall, 5'9" is close to the minimum height with about 5'10" tall being the average
• Do I look like a high fashion model? - This question is more difficult and, if you are not sure, it's best to make contact with some of these NYC agency model management industry giants and let them decide. Don't shut yourself out before you get started.
• Is my skin clear? - It goes without saying that the reps listed in this directory want smooth skin with very few blemishes.
• How's my hair? - Your hair needs to be shiny, well kept with very few split ends or color damage in order to become a model for the major companies on this list.
• What age are New York fashion models? - The ages vary but prime is normally between 13-19 years old. Top talent management companies like to groom their own newbies from an early age so that they can represent them for a number of years.

• Research - Find out how other models look who are represented by these New York talent agencies and see if you can compete. (but, don't give up easily)
• Practice - As a beginner model, you'll need to practice modeling poses, walking the runway, expressions, etc. before stepping in front of the camera.
• Do model photo shoots - Even if you have to work for free, get with a professional photographers for modeling portfolios and get used to posing in front of the camera. Many of the major New York modeling agencies will take you through a training period but the photo sessions will make you more relaxed when you land jobs with them.
• Modeling Portfolio - Not quite as important for the big international scene but I would suggest at least a good head shot and full body picture wearing tight clothing or a bathing suit. Wear little or no makeup in these two portfolio photos.

Now that you've done all that, it's time to make contact with the top list New York City talent agencies and you are more prepared to offer them a model they can work with. Make sure you do your homework and only contact in such a way as listed on their prospective websites. Each have guidelines posted on their website, open call days available and rules about email or phone contacts. Be sure and follow directions carefully to give yourself a fair chance of getting noticed.
