You need to register with talent agencies that cater to commerical modeling. I dont know where you are so I can't give you any specifics.

A few things you and anyone looking to use an agent of any kind...

1. If a talent agent asks you for money up front, walk out of their office and never go back. This is illegal and a very common scam in the industry. An agent gets paid ONLY when he or she gets you work...usually 10 to 20% of what you get for a modeling job. If they try to pressure you into letting them arrange to get your headshots done and ask you for money, they may be on the level but chances are they aren't. Tell them you'll get your own headshots or composites done independently. Backstage and Variety (entertainment newspapers available on most newsstands) usually have ads for photographers in a wide variety of price ranges.

When you meet with a photographer, ask to see his or her portfolio so you can check out what kind of work they've done before you pose.

2. Do not do anything you're not comfortable with on a job. A lot of morons get models to take off their clothes during shoots and those girls find themselves on the internet with no way to get the pictures removed from the websites they've been sold to. In fact if you go into a job expecting to model clothes and they want you to take them off for the camera, leave. If your agent sent you, tell them what happened so they don't send anyone else to that photographer.

Catalog modeling for the most part doesn't pay a lot of money and you don't get royalties or residuals so don't expect them. However, if you do a good job, the book agent for the catalog will probably call you year after year to be in their catalog.
