Wilhelmina Models La

OTTO MODELS has placed both female and male models with this agency, the agents have always been respectful and interested in seeing our new models.

THANK YOU FOR BLESSING MY EYES shoutout to Matt R from miami, and los angeles, he is the best model by far o there. But everyone is hot thank you. BEST WEBSITE EVER

I am quite a fan. Wilhelmina is an agency for Women and Men in the Fashion industry based on the West Coast.

I entered the agency and enjoyed the setup for the lobby. It was a large open room where the back wall was made of glass and you could see the agents working avidly at their computers behind it. There was a large tv on one of the walls that I found a little distracting and a couple of people sat there waiting for their open call experience. I sat among them. After a quick observation… I concluded that this was one of the rudest interactions I’ve witnessed during an open call. I was pretty surprised by the way the worker flipped through the portfolio of the model who was there before me. She literally flipped and looked away as she continued to flip, bored out of her mind. Talk about rude. She proceeded to take some digitals of the model and once that was done, plopped down, turned to me and asked me for my book. She showed mild interest and we stood to take some polaroids. Upon standing she asked me my age and when I declared that I was over the age restriction her face literally fell. She might as well have dropped the camera and the act and bid me on my way. With that disclosure she snapped three half assed pictures and at this point I couldn’t keep quiet. I asked her how strict the age requirement here was and announced that her obvious disapproval was blatant. She said their policy is very strict and though their direct division casts older models, that they were not currently holding open castings but that she would show them my card. Yeah right. I think someone needs a cup of coffee or some hospitality training. This is the industry but wise up and suck it up. It’s not that hard to greet people, take pictures and politely decline them. Anyway, this rating is obviously based on that interaction because I cannot rate how this place is as an acting agency.

Don’t listen to the BS reviews that people who probably work for the company write about this place, they have a team of people that are TERRIBLE at their jobs, in fact they had some clean up guy come into the agency and try to take care of the mad house, but it hasn’t done any good. Models are FLOODING out of this agency left and right, and not just small time models, the actual talent that keeps wilhelmina in business. If your only intention is to shoot dot coms that leave you wrecked at the end of the day for pennies pay, then this is your place. Don’t expect to make a name for yourself through this agency, they will only drive you into the ground, kill what name you have, negotiate for pay from clients that is far beyond the worth of the shoot and so much more. They will tell you they are the best around, but the reality is they are a Sinking ship. its only a matter of time before they crash and burn.

By far and away the best team of talented agents in the business. I have been around this town, at many other agencies and these guys are proffesional and kick ass. Best of all, they are all good people at heart and like to laugh.
