Alright i was just wondering how much of a voice can a model have when it comes to her/his agency, and the type of work that they are getting her.  So, i am totally grateful that they are getting castings and go sees for me, but they are all athletic related castings, and i really want to do fashion. 
     I am 22, and i know that my time is EXTREMELY limited in the fashion world, but i also know that i can do athletic modeling until im 30 (i've been told by NIKE).  I want to ask my agency if i am being excluded out of fashion related castings, but then again, I do live in Portland, and the market here for fashion is low.
     So i was wondering, would an agency only market a model in a particular market, or am i strictly a victim of being a "resident in the fabulous fashion market of the northwest?"

The agent works for the talent, not the other way around. The only catch is, the agent has thousands of willing, anxious employers.

YOu're slightly tall for fashion, and very poorly located. I think it really is mostly due to your location.

several factors to consider (i.e., current needs of the agency's clients, marketing goals / strategies of the agency, etc.) but yes, typically you, the model, should at least be able to voice an opinion. you might be heard. you might not. again, so many factors at play.

Move to Italy (Milan) or France (Paris) a lot more fashion work there and your height would be an advantage.
