The following are links to sites with directories of modeling agencies. Although I cannot guarantee the accuracy of the list (because agencies come and go so fast), it gives you a place to start. I have found the local yellow pages are the most accurate source, but they include current scam agencies along with legitimate ones. Keep this in mind: just because an agency is on one of these lists, it does not guarantee that it is a legitimate agency (more on Scams). You still need to do your own research before dealing with any agency (info about agencies).
Model Network - This site has a nice list of modeling agencies and the most extensive list of modeling agency websites I've seen.
Top Ten New York Fashion Modeling Agencies - This list is from the Model.com web site and it is always fun to see which agencies they have selected. The models with these agencies are the highest paid in the business and that makes these the most desirable agencies.
There are many modeling agencies on the web. Many have model searches or explain how to apply to their agencies on their websites. For many of these agencies, all I have to go on is the information on their websites. Do your own research before dealing with any of them. They may or may not be legitimate.
