HI Myles,
You do not have to live in the LA area to submit your snapshots. You just have to get really good clear snapshots taken and submit those to the websites. If an agency is really interested they might call/email and ask for more snapshots or a video of yourself. Once they say they would like to meet you, then you could fly/drive with your parents (or if older, by yourself) on your school break. And meet with that agency. They wouldn’t ask you to come unless they are pretty sure they want to sign you.
You should always submit pics no matter where you live. The younger the better and keep sending different pics every few months.. sometimes an agency might like your hair longer or shorter or your face is clearer or you have lost weight,etc. Sometimes the look they need changes. So, submit your pics 4x a year.
Remember, the business has changed! Everything is digital. If any agency likes you from a snapshots- they can request a video of you. In this video they can get a pretty good idea of what your body proportions are and how you look. So, YES send your snapshots to LA agencies.
It is extremely hard to get signed in NY, and most models working in NY have already worked in other markets. So, you really need to work in LA or Miami (or overseas) first anyway. NYC is not the only market- It’s actually the most difficult. I hope you are enjoying my MODELING IN LA series..
Thanks! xoxo Lisa

I have seen your posts about Los Angeles being easier to get into the industry than in New York. My question is: if I submit my photos to agencies in LA, should I be in the area or is it safe to submit to them and wait to hear back? I know that some agencies may not respond quickly, if at all, but I live across the country so the idea of submitting to an agency in LA never crossed my mind because I wouldn’t have access to meet with them in person per request.
