IMG in its own words
IMG Models is the international leader in talent discovery and model management, widely recognized for its diverse client roster. The agency's offices are located in six world capitals: New York, Los Angeles, Paris, London, Milan, and Sydney.
How to apply to IMG
- Apply through the agency's website (see the link above): most agencies have a "become a model" page with a form or an e-mail address. Prepare 4–6 unretouched digitals and your measurements.
- Check its website or Instagram for open-call days; if none are listed, apply online.
- If you are represented by a mother agency, let it make the introduction – that is how most placements abroad start.
- Models from abroad can apply; a work permit is arranged by the agency once a placement is agreed.
- Never pay to apply. A licensed agency earns a commission on your work, nothing upfront.

What you need before applying

01Does IMG accept international models?
IMG does not say explicitly; apply online or through your mother agency.
02Do I need a mother agency to join IMG?
Not necessarily, but most placements abroad are arranged agency-to-agency, so a mother agency makes the introduction easier.
03Is there an application fee at IMG?
No. As a licensed agency it is paid a commission on your bookings and may not charge for applying.
04How do I apply to IMG?
Through the application page on its website, with digitals and measurements – or through your mother agency.
