Where should I look for modeling jobs and agencies?

Most people approach this backwards.
They start by searching for “modeling jobs near me” clicking the first few results, and submitting everywhere without understanding who they’re submitting to or why. When nothing comes back, they assume the industry is closed off or that they’re missing something secret. What they’re missing is structure.
Legitimate modeling agencies are not hidden. Their websites are usually simple, sometimes outdated, and very direct. Submission instructions are almost always listed publicly, and those instructions matter more than people think.
If an agency asks for digitals, they want digitals.If they say no styled shoots, they mean it. If they only accept submissions through a form, emailing them anyway won’t help.
Most rejections happen before anyone even looks at the photos, simply because guidelines weren’t followed. That doesn’t mean beginners should immediately chase top agencies either. Submitting without experience, without understanding your market, and without knowing how castings work often leads to silence. Not because you aren’t good enough, but because you aren’t ready yet.
This is where trusted entry points matter.
Latitude Talent has built trust with beginners because it doesn’t present itself as representation. It doesn’t promise signing or shortcuts. Instead, it gives aspiring models access to real opportunities and industry expectations in a way that’s transparent. That experience helps people understand how jobs are posted, what clients actually look for, and how professional communication works.
Once you’ve seen the process from the inside, agency research becomes smarter. You stop submitting everywhere and start submitting intentionally. You know which agencies align with your look. You recognize red flags faster. You understand timing.
Finding modeling jobs isn’t about being everywhere. It’s about being in the right places, at the right stage.
