You may upload simple snapshots or professional photos. The choice is yours.
If you are uploading snapshots keep the following things in mind:
- Photos should be clear and in focus
- Include at least one headshot and a full length shot
- Keep makeup to a minimum
- Keep hairstyles simple and well groomed
- Keep clothing simple and in good taste
- Include a swimsuit photo if you are comfortable wearing a swimsuit
- Please do not upload nude photos
- Fancy clothing and makeup is unnecessary for kids. They should look like regular kids.
- Include any experience or training that you have
- Please do not wear fur in your photos. It is offensive to some agents and clients, and it’s just wrong.
- Remember that first impressions are important
If you are uploading professional photos your photographer can guide you in choosing the best photos.
No, you do not have to have modeling experience to create your account with ModelScouts.com.

In order to have your photos reviewed by agents and scouts for over 250 top modeling agencies, you must create a model profile. To create your profile please sign up here.
You can control who sees your photos and who does not.
You can choose one of the following three settings:
- Agents and Scouts Only – Photos viewed by agents, scouts and industry pros only.
- Members Only – Photos viewed by member agents, scouts, clients, photographers, industry pros and other model members.
- Everyone – Photos viewed by member agents, scouts, clients, photographers, industry pros, model members and the general public.
The choice is yours.
LET US DO THE WORK FOR YOU!
After you upload your photos to your profile, and activate the Photo Submit Service inside your account, our professional staff will prepare and present your photos to international modeling agents and scouts representing over 250 of the industry’s top agencies in all of the major markets, including, New York, Los Angeles, Paris, Milan, London, Germany, Greece, Spain, Australia, Tokyo, Singapore, Taipei, Hong Kong, Korea and more.
GET RESULTS WITHIN TEN BUSINESS DAYS!
Once your photos have been reviewed, we will upload a report of the agent and scout responses to your account within 10 business days. Should an agency express an interest in representing you we will provide you with professional advice and guidance at no extra charge to you.
No. You do not need professional photos to join ModelScouts.
Regular snapshots are just fine. Even “selfies” shot in the mirror can work.
Try to include at least one clear face shot and one body shot so the agents, scouts and clients can get a good sense of who you are.
Agents and scouts visit ModelScouts.com every day searching for new models to be represented by their agencies.
By having your modeling profile online at ModelScouts you create a sense of urgency in the agents and scouts to sign you before another agent snaps you up! We’ve heard countless stories from our models who, even after submitting their photos to agencies themselves, didn’t get signed until they were on ModelScouts. We love that!
By having an online profile in the same place as all the agents and scouts you significantly increase your exposure and opportunities for getting discovered and signed by these agencies. Having an online profile at ModelScouts is much more efficient and cost-effective than mailing photos to agencies, having a separate website, or trying to email hundreds of agencies yourself.
We accept aspiring models of all ages, sizes and heights.
Many of the modeling agencies we work with have commercial modeling, plus size, petite, and child modeling divisions in addition to their fashion divisions.
We welcome male models, female models, petite and plus size models, mature models, child and infant models. No modeling experience required.
ModelScouts.com is a scouting company that provides a service, in which, you will receive exposure to the industry’s most reputable modeling agents and scouts. We do the work for you so you don’t have to worry about whether or not you are working with legitimate modeling companies.

Rather than take a management fee, or ongoing commissions from your income, we offer a very affordable flat rate of only $149 for a 1 Year Model Profile plus Photo Submit Service.
In addition to your professional modeling profile, and incredible exposure, you will also benefit from our 35 years experience in the areas of promotion, contract negotiations, international and mother agency relations, travel arrangements, overseas accommodations, and work visa’s in foreign countries, all at no extra charge.
We have no extra management fees, commissions, hidden charges or monthly charges. The amount you see on our site is the maximum cost you will ever have with us.

At ModelScouts.com it is our goal that every model with us gets signed to an agency. However, the final decision on whether or not a model is represented is not up to us. The final decision on whether a model is signed is ultimately up to the agencies, therefore we are unable to guarantee representation.
ModelScouts.com never uses social media to recruit models.
Please do not engage in conversations with anyone claiming to be a model scout or agent who randomly contacts you through social media websites. The chances they are a real agent is next to nil.
For more information please visit our Model Safety page.
If you are experiencing any type of technical problem on our website we are here to help you.Please send us an email which explains the problem you are experiencing, along with your member username (if you are currently a member), your email address, and telephone number.

Your account will automatically expire at the end of your initial term. We do not automatically charge your credit card when your account expires so you never have to worry about reoccurring fees.
