Finding a Modeling Agency as a Petite Model
Commercial print modeling is the largest sector of the modeling world. Models range from babies, to grandparents, and these models are not judged on height and weight.
Don’t forget, the word model means being in a commercial for a product or service, not just on a runway. Models of all types are needed in many ad campaigns and product ads from haircare, to banks, to basically anything you see advertised in TV or in a magazine that is not a fashion magazine.
Commercial print modeling is sort of like acting in a photo, and it invovles real life situations involving products, so a computer ad would involve a model typing on the computer. A haircare hair for Conair might involve the model using or holding a new hair dryer. A nail care ad, might show a model painting her toe nails, a commercial for a dish soap might show a mother-like model washing dishing, or a car commercial might show a man driving through the hills or in a friendly neighborhood. Commercial print modeling is where a shorter model should look for modeling work.
This post is a list of commercial print modeling agencies in NYC and they can inspire you no matter where you live on the types of agencies a shorter girl should be approaching.

Iv’e always loved high fashion and anything that has to do with modeling. Im 18 and every since I was 9 I knew I wanted to become a model. But I knew it would be a struggle because modleing agencies will chew you up and spit you out. Every person has a different shape and size. However, some agenicies like plus sized or very slim models. But nowadays they want their models to be slim but still have a nice shape to them example, curvey models. I’m 5″3 and 120 pounds I think if modeling is your dream go for it don’t let anyone stand in your way!
