Modeling agencies for the older set

September 16, 2015 1:29 PM

I'm looking for agencies that represent models over 35, preferably in the Miami area.

After a long life wanting to model and not feeling adequate, I'm ready to try. I live in Miami and travel regularly to Los Angeles. I'm not tall, but I'm assuming I'd be looking at commercial work. I'm 36, about 5'4, sub 120 pounds and pretty athletic looking (visible six pack, muscular legs), my look is strange/pretty (early 2000s Fiona Apple is my celebrity doppelgänger). Any suggestions on where to inquire? Assume I have a moderate amount of time to spend sending out photos and going to castings.

I was curious - some of the models featured here got work through L.A. Models and Wilhemina, which has a Miami office (with a fitness division. Looks like they hold a regular open call limited to women 5'9 and up, but why not submit your photos and see what happens?). If you were interested in fitness modelling, I wonder if getting into bikini competitions might also be a way to go (just a thought, no idea about it).
