I am new here to USA and am trying to get signed on by a major agency...either NY or MIAMI....I live in VA so i would like to stay on the East Coast and travel to work in NY or FL is easier...

Any suggestions????  I am continuously trying to improve my port, but other than that, any other suggestions?

PRO-PHOTOGRAPHERS who have worked with the major agencies, any ideas???

How should I contact the agencies?

Any agency in NY is going to expect you to live there, you can't commute from VA.  They work you hard in NY, if you don't have a shoot they send you on go-see's every day, all day.  You'll have to stick with the commercial agencies since you aren't quite tall enough.  Good Luck and just go on the open calls or send in some photos!

what are go-sees???

There are other things besides commercial and runway. And 5'7" is tall enough to do other things.

I've been modeling since 2001, but that was in Bogota...here in USA everything is different...

In Bogota my agent did everything for me...Here I have to start over!!!  And the industry here is totally different here....

thanks for the newmodel link!!!  good stuff in there....Now...who wants to sign me up!?!??!?
