To be a model in Los Angeles isn’t that easy! Because of course the competition is especially high here. Between the city and Venicebeach there are thousands of beautiful people, so looks aren’t everything! How do you become a model?
First of all, it is very important that you are able to assess your own abilities very realistically! Are you rather a high fashion model for fashion shows or are you rather a commercial model for commercials? There are a lot of differences but also a lot of similarities between the areas. The more realistic you are about yourself, the faster you will be in your search for a good model agency and the faster you will get good jobs as a model. But what do you start with?
If you want to apply as a model in Los Angeles, you first need a good application, i.e. all your contact details and dimensions and of course good application photos. Pictures you need for the applications of a model agency have a special standard, called polaroid. This is mainly about naturalness! That means no styling, no make-up, all that matters is you! Therefore appearance is not everything, above all naturalness convinced and then naturally live with the Casting the radiant emittance.
If you applied to a modeling agency and then got an invitation to a gosee, you’ve already made it far! Did you know? In big model agencies like ours, more than 1.000 models apply per month! Accordingly, it is very time-consuming to make a selection and of course the invitations are only issued very exclusively. Accordingly, you have already made it far if you have been invited to a model agency.
The next step is to convince your modeling agency of your identity. Through naturalness, charisma and of course realistic assessment of your own abilities and possibilities. If you make it and are accepted into the model agency, it is about the structure of your model book.
In order for a model book to be well structured, it is important to reach good photographers through the network of your model agency in Los Angeles. Photographers then either do test shootings or editorials for fashion magazine. This will give you very good photo galleries, which you can then use for your model book. The more varied your portfolio is, the more chances you have with customers.
But this is not about quantity, this is about quality! That is, if you already have one or two good sport shoots, then you don’t need another photo shoot in the area fitness or sport. So your model book has to be versatile, show how changeable you are as a model. If you have ticked off all these points in your checklist, then you have the chance for good jobs in Los Angeles!
There are several jobs waiting for you: magazines, online shops, commercials, designer editorials and much more. With a reputable modeling agency, you won’t lose control and can concentrate on modeling while your agency takes care of your management. Of course, for jobs in Los Angeles as a model you need a little experience. Do you feel like it? Then we can talk about your future with us!

Important details for your model booking in LA – many requests contain too little information! So that you can get to your model selection quickly, you should send the following information about the shooting directly with it:
We ourselves work internationally and our pages are not only placed on page one in Germany. Through our international service page for model mediation MAO we are on page 1 worldwide and thus the strongest digital model agency in Europe, America and Asia: From Los Angeles, New York, Shanghai, Chicago, Miami to Istanbul, Paris and many other cities. Our network helps our models and our customers. We have been on the market since 2015. Through our engagement in online marketing, worldwide on four continents, we were able to show the fastest growth that a model agency has ever achieved, without a prominent ex-model. Today we work not only with German clients but also with many international brands. Our models shoot for jobs in Düsseldorf or travel for a week, from one country to the next. We offer the best models in Germany, help you in Europe and mediate worldwide. You not only have the optimal partner as an international brand, but also the best partner when it comes to young brands and growth. As a young model we offer you excellent contacts for stays abroad (on stay) from Los Angeles to Tokyo.
The mediation of models includes more than just the administration. Here it is about constant picture material update, high-quality test shootings with photographers or also internal production by our model agency. So our models and customers always have the latest material. So what matters are constant topicality, the optimal presentation of the character through the selection of pictures and videos, but also the suggestion for jobs. Because castings and offers get many models to find out the real diamonds, that is the challenge. Just like always, the construction of models.
The model world is extremely diverse. In the field of fashion you can model events for online shops, magazines, catwalks and other designers, while in the advertising industry you can model shootings for instagra, commercials, product photography or similar. Perfect, for models who want to live out themselves and can try everything in front of the camera.
Many young models first think of the fashion show. While all live shows look very simple, there is a lot of planning and hectic behind the scenes. All models have to wear several outfits during the show and have to be repainted again and again. Meanwhile the choreography has to sit. Did you already know? Before you start at a fashion show, your first bookings are usually in the showroom. Designers present their fashion in the showroom. Customers take a look at the pieces you present as models. Here you get to know designers, but also customers, punctuality and discipline. If you convince your customers and therefore also your agency, you will also get jobs for shows.
In the USA, projects for various brands are one of the most frequently organized. Especially the advertising industry likes to travel there. There is often a huge team behind the whole thing. The photo shootings for Instagram and online shops mentioned above are even more challenging. Just think of an outdoor shooting where you have to run, laugh and interact with 4 other models at the same time. All 5 models must always be on point when you release the camera, so your photographer is guaranteed to have strong photos to choose from. Commercials are even more challenging, think of speaking roles, acting and of course travel planning, because often it goes abroad and between Berlin, airport, hotel and production everything has to be right, so that you as a model are punctually on the set.
What are influencers? Influencers reach extremely many people. This target group is very interesting for many brands, because it is organic and very accurately identifiable. The targeted “apply” is called influencer marketing. As Influencer one calls the marks in its videos or in its photos, one builds them into the picture or video material also. Thus the mark is present with the own target group. The more frequently one accomplishes this action, the more the thought to the mark n/?page_id=24708ame and/or the name sets itself in the head. As in classical advertising, the more often something is mentioned, the better known it becomes. Many models are influencers, by nature! Therefore our agency mediates as one of the first Blogger for campaigns and Events. We have expertise in different areas, whether single bookings of influencers for Instagram or more complex constructs, larger campaigns or events and the booking of up to 20 or 30 influencers. They are so popular because their target group is extremely close to that of fashion brands, all lifestyle and luxury products.
USA Modelwelt – Chaotic but beautiful. Starting with fashion shootings, advertising jobs up to cover shootings for different magazines, different brands develop projects to realize them in LA. You want to be a part of such projects? There are few professions where competition is as intense as in the model industry. Especially in the USA hundreds of young models come to a casting. That means staying ambitious and demonstrating discipline. In these cases, fixed dates are only allocated in individual cases, which is why waiting times make up a large part of everyday life. Additionally a model earns money only with the jobs however not with the Castings. However, there is no guarantee to land a coveted job with a casting.
Every customer, every country and every job requires different dimensions. Nevertheless, as an agency we try to introduce a certain standard in order to bring our models into the high fashion industry. Commercial jobs (advertising) in particular are naturally more flexible. Roughly speaking, the sizes can be divided in this way. The closer you are to these sizes, the better the conditions – apart from your personality. If you are registered as a model with us, we will develop a guide together for you and your career.
The cover letter should not be a letter of application – so always keep it short. We have an application form on our website. It’s about the most important information we need to get a first impression. Because in a renowned and good model agency 50 to 100 applications come in daily, which are processed as fast as possible. If there is only one scout in the agency, he has only a few seconds for each application, besides the actual agency work. That’s why you have to score points with your photo, not with a long cover letter.
With every job interview the stage fright rises, of course also with the introduction in the model agency. You have to know one thing, top agencies like ours and others are super sweet! Why? Photo shootings and video shoots are all about joy, fun and laughter – almost always. That’s why you need a trustful cooperation with your model management. That’s exactly why you start friendly from the first minute and that’s how it stays! That’s why you don’t need to have stage fright, just be natural! Furthermore, it is interesting for us as an agency to know where your journey should go. For example, some models want to go abroad after graduating from high school. So we can prepare you for it and advertise for you.
Requirements for models are very different, depending on the market you want to work in. A distinction is made here:
For us as a model agency it is of course all the more interesting to know whether you would like to work abroad as a model. So that we can prepare you accordingly and advertise for you.
Catwalk jobs aren’t as common as shootings, but you shouldn’t be afraid to stand on stage and present designer outfits. In this area, a distinction is made between running styles. You’ve never heard of High Fashion, Haute Couture or Pret-A-Porter? Then read through our basics here so that you’ll know exactly what’s going on at the next small talk or your first visit to the model agency.
You shoot commercials as a model not only for the German market, often the commercials are also published in other countries all over the world.
With each application interview the stage fright increases, of course also with the presentation in the model agency. You have to know one thing, top agencies like ours and others are super sweet! Why? Photo shootings and video shoots are all about joy, fun and laughter – almost always. That’s why you need a trustful cooperation with your model management. That’s exactly why you start friendly from the first minute and that’s how it stays! That’s why you don’t need to have stage fright, just be natural! Here are even more tips for yours:
Become a model – The big dream! Photoshootings, Instagram, travel and many interesting and at exclusive Influencer Events colorful people get to know. The truth is: the road is long. Our management will give you the best support you can have. But before it goes to the model application, there is a lot to know and to learn. There is a lot of competition for you, especially between the ages of 15-18. The better prepared you are, the faster you will convince!
More details about castings, gosees, photographers, and much more.
We want to promote and challenge young people and new models. In this way we prepare models for media work at an early age. Only a few model agencies in Germany offer this – as we do. In the long term as a perspective that we establish our models sustainably in the media industry. Agency and model are one team. Modeling is always a common path and a common experience. With increasing success, the market value rises, of course also the number of inquiries, demands.
The stronghold of VIPs, stars and starlets of the model and fashion world. Everyone dreams of being at the events of these celebrities and enjoying the fashion and lifestyle industry. Behind all this is the saying: “From dishwasher to millionaire”. In the USA, hard work, talent and hard work are the best examples of this attitude to life. Models should also follow this principle.
In order to get to the top as a model, you should not be afraid of strenuous work. Especially in America the competition doesn’t sleep. From casting to casting many models are sought and only the best walks and portfolios are won. It’s a hard everyday life, but it also shows you the most beautiful sides of the fashion world. As an agency, we support you in organizing castings, coaching sessions and jobs. Of course you make friends for life and photographers become colleagues. However, it is not to be underestimated when casting to go to casting to get the one job. In order to support you, we help you to keep appointments, to have a good time management and to enjoy the time.
In order not to be thrown into the cold water, you should be well prepared. CM Models offers you simple shootings and coachings that will help you to get ahead as a model. With our coach you will be prepared for the most different moments of a model. It’s not just about posing in front of the camera – it’s about attitude, personality and quality.
Not only the model world interests you? Also the world of fashion & designers? The influencer world makes it possible for you to present your impressions and statements online and to live out your creativity. You can find more information here: Influencer Marketing
In the job a model everyday life in the USA consists again and again also of waiting times. For the model, this means sitting still for several minutes or even hours during make-up and styling or waiting for the set to be set up for a shooting. If you lose your patience here, you will not only be unprofessional, you will also leave a negative impression on the customer. This does not only apply to behaviour, since the body of a model must also become the figurehead of one’s own professionalism. To appear on the set with greasy hair or skin impurities is therefore just as much a no go for a successful model as to let oneself go. This is what the customers expect from the models they book as well as the model agency, since each shooting is usually associated with a tight schedule and a precise budget, which leave little scope for a new casting. In this respect, everyday life on the set has little in common with what casting shows convey for models. After all, in the real working world of a model, it is not the judgement of a jury that counts, but rather that the model fits the respective collection or advertising concept. Being at the right place at the right time is therefore the true catalyst for a long career as a model.
