Is Latitude a Talent Agency?

Latitude is the best way for models and actors to get started. Period. Latitude is not an employment or talent agency. As a talent service, we work with models and actors by connecting talent with the development to help start or advance a path in entertainment. A talent agency is in the business of strictly booking talent who have already built a portfolio with experience, not helping you start or grow. Latitude works to help talent develop and build their experience in the entertainment industry.

What is an Evaluation?

An evaluation is a chance to meet with us and learn about our company and how our service works for models and actors. We also want to learn about you as a talent; your objectives, experience and aspirations. Should we move forward, you may have the option to enroll in our company. We also may take measurements or photographs during your evaluation.

Latitude is a talent marketing service, so new talent should expect to cover their own enrollment. While we typically cover photography test-shoots for new talent and provide access to our studio, it is important to remember an actual agency represent less than 5% of models and actors. Talent agency models and actors are referred to as Independent Contractors and are always required to invest in their own marketing materials which include head shots, portfolio development and comp cards.
