Modeling Opportunities:.

Several major retail clothing retailers shoot their catalogs in the Dallas/Fort Worth market. There are also several more in Houston. We frequently tests models for these retailers and the agencies that represent their models and have referred a number of unrepresented models with strong potential. There are also a number of commercial advertising agencies that use print models for consumer products. Market rates in the Dallas/Fort Worth area are generally $150.00 to $290.00 an hour with a four hour minimum, however, some of the smaller chains and single stores pay less. Most models in this area work part-time in modeling. They are generally placed in these assignments through a few reputable modeling agencies.

A growing trend with the Internet is national advertisers casting for models through their web-sites, or by creating a link to the talent agents they use right on their web-site. A model in a local market should not be discouraged if they are not placed immediately with a local reputable agent. With the Internet, many models have found success by marketing themselves by preparing and sending out a digital composite. However, models should be careful who they deal with via the Internet. They should limit their searches to established nationally known companies.
