There are many magazines that used to only require you to send in pictures of yourself with your stats (measurements) and if they like you, you were in. But they have recently gotten rid of these procedures.

Does anyone know of any magazines, catalogs (shops) in the tri-state area, that don't require you to belong to agency?

Tri-State Area: New York, New Jersey, Connecticut

thanks

I suspect you'll find that very little of the advertising or editorial photography that you see in magazines involves freelance models. Virtually all shoots are planned, designed by art directors and use professional sources for the photographer and models.

If you are going in the business, it would be good to be associated with an agency. If you can't get on board with a big one, keep marketing your portfolio to smaller agencies.

Based on your head shot and your age and height (potential), you should be able to get some interest. On the other hand the other two pictures I see are not that impressive to me. In the tree shot your foot is cut off--not great composition. In the seated shot, the tilted image may seem quirky and bold, (I saw it as a mistake) but it says much more about the photographer than it shows about you.

I'm an old retired shooter, so you don't have to listen. But others here also give good advice and you are too photogenic to let indistinct pictures hinder your chances.
If I haven't been there, I'm still planning on going!
If I haven't done it, I've still got time to try!
