You can start modeling at 15 but make sure that continuing your education is more important because good looks do not last forever. Plus make sure your parents are involved with your decisions.
Modeling is not as easy as you think and you have to have the looks and the determination to stay in this field.
If you live near any major city there might be a modeling agency there. But a lot of the big agencies are in LA, NYC, Chicago and Atlanta because most of the major clothes designers and advertisers are in those areas.
Also you don't have to have an agent or agency. Most of the time they think about themselves first not you, if another model will get them more money they will send her to that shoot. Not
all are bad but some are, so you have to be care full what you do.
Why don't you look at this website and look over some of the portfolios in there (models and photographers). Get some professional images shot to start, then find a couple of photographers in your area that you like their style of work and then contact a few of them and see if they would be interested in doing a TFP (Time For Prints) or TFCD (Time For CD). In other words you supply your time as a model he / she as a photographer and you get images in return. You will have to sign a model release so that you and he / she can use the images. In your case since you are under 18 you be required to have a parent sign for you.

If you do join as a model do not just go with the beginners portfolio but maybe at least silver level and update regularly.

P.S. And models also need head shots (they are called portraits).
Hope this helps,

Hon, actors use heads NOT MODELS.
Models do NOT use headshots, so please, do NOT spend money on headshots.
The Modeling Agency, if it is legitimate and in NYC, will provide a modeling shoot, if you need photographs.
If you want to be a professional model, you must live in NYC.
Are you asking about NYC, or the city where you live?
