They are very selective in who they choose to represent: "so many photographers, so little time". And they are a business. They are in it to make money. They aren't interested in photographers who don't make money. Very few artists reps will take on a photographer who doesn't have an existing client base. No money in it. They way you get represented is to find clients and work first, and then get the rep. Most good reps insist on a minimum annual billing of $100,000 before they are interested in a photographer, but some are more lenient.
