GAPA Model Agency is one of the most inclusive modeling agencies in Johannesburg. We say this because it takes in child and adult models alike.

And with big-name clients from various industries like Nestle, Clere, KFC, Huawei, Mini, and even Emirates, GAPA Model Agency can certainly provide its talents with the opportunities they need.

To further help its clients, GAPA Model Agency does online workshops. These classes include how to improve confidence, how to nail auditions for recorded media, how to become an actor, and how to deliver a monologue.

We also like that GAPA has a considerable turnover period for applications—one week at most. However, we don’t particularly find it helpful that GAPA may sometimes not reply at all as a sign of not accepting your application.

To apply, you need only to upload a few clear photos of yourself, without sunglasses or hats and without anyone else in the frame, as is the standard. And the good news is that these photos can be taken from your phone, as long as they’re clear and high-quality.

Thanks to its online forms, you can even complete your application online. It’s also open on all weekdays to accommodate questions or bookings from potential talents.

But before applying, you should also know that GAPA only accepts locals within at most 45 minutes of the city.

SYNC Models is a modeling agency in Johannesburg and Cape Town for men, women, and children alike. 

And the best thing is that this modeling agency brings its clients to local, national, and even international modeling placements. These placements include those in runway, editorials, commercials, films, events, and campaigns.

This agency even has a dedicated page for influencers, thus catering to various types of personalities.

This online portfolio of its talents also has information on age, height, body measurements and features. We like that this can easily serve as a reference for various people scouting models online.

It’s also inclusive in a way because for commercial modeling, SYNC Models accepts any gender, height, and age of models. But for fashion models, SYNC Models still follows specifications strictly. 

Now if you want to apply for SYNC Models, you need only answer its online forms, upload headshots, portraits, and photos, and wait. Unfortunately, like other modeling agencies, SYNC Model Management doesn’t give any updates on unsuccessful applicants after 7 days.

Some of its reviews suffer, however, due to a controversy from years before. Luckily, the agency resolved the issue swiftly, with the management cutting ties with the model in question.

With SYNC’s big influence, some have even tried posing as this company, asking for details and pictures. So, we also particularly like that SYNC has warnings and tips posted on its application page to help you avoid scammers.

If you’re looking for the best modeling agencies in Johannesburg for teens, adults, and seniors then Louis B Model Management should be among your top choices. Ever since 2009, this company has helped local models land national and even international projects.

These placements include those for fashion and lifestyle fineprint and editorials, as well as for recorded media like TV commercials and international films. 

Its clients include Alan Gray, Netflix, Jaguar, Samsung, Nintendo, Reebok, Cornetto, and many more. Such wide reach and range of clientele is why we gave such high ratings for Louis B Model Management’s connections.

To complete its competency, Louis B Model Management also has in-house directors, not just model managers, to truly help unleash the potential of their clients. 

Unfortunately, it doesn’t offer training courses to improve your skills. To add to that, Louis B Model Management also has high standards as it looks for skills and not just model measurements and pictures.

Additionally, this modeling agency only accepts those within at most 1-hour driving distance from the city.

Still, if you highly value inclusivity and connections, the Louis B Model Management is a good choice. To apply, you need only fill out its online forms and upload your pictures.

The catch is that due to the high volume of applications it receives, Louis B Model Management may only update you 10 days after you apply. Once you get accepted, you can then login into its online model page where you can freely update details, photos, and physical details.

Figures Models Finesse is an international modeling agency with branches in Namibia, Australia, and South Africa. In the Gauteng region alone, Figures Models Finesse already has numerous locations within and surrounding Johannesburg. 

We appreciate this because modeling agencies tend to restrict their talents to those within close proximity to a certain location. The more locations they have, then the more talents they can include in their promotions.

Even more exciting, Figures Models Finesse has great success stories with some IMTA International Model of the World awardees. Sadly, its website is not as updated as most of its success stories are from 2015.

But what really caught our attention is Figures models Finesse’s numerous talent training courses for aspiring models and beauty queens alike. 

Classes include image building, training for commercials and editorials, improving on-stage or on-camera presence, and many more. Overall, it offers nine levels of training classes, with most level 1 classes reserved for child models.

However, we’re not really fans of Figures Models Finesse’s limited operating hours. That’s because this modeling agency is only available for a few hours on Tuesdays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays.

Nonetheless, if you prioritize connections and training education when choosing among the top modeling agencies in Johannesburg, then applying for Figures Models Finesse may be a good next step.

This modeling agency has an online form where you need only supply a few details about yourself, including your preferred performing arts, preferred location, and basic measurements. Unfortunately, it doesn’t have submission boxes for photos.

Now, if you highly trust years of experience in a modeling agency, then Boss Model should be your top pick. This modeling agency has been around in South Africa since 1995 and we believe that such longevity shows high quality of service and good trust from clients.

Boss Models’ talents are also known internationally because its managers travel to Asia, Europe, Australia, South America, the Middle East, and the US. This agency also has local agents to find local yet worthwhile gigs for talents.

And speaking of its team, Boss Models also has photographers and trainers in its team for talent improvement.

What we like the most about Boss Models is that it has its models’ success stories—or photos rather—posted on its website as proof and inspiration. Boss Models also has its models’ photos and physical descriptions posted in a big portfolio to make scouting of talents easier.

Aside from its expertise, we also like Boss Models’ availability. But the downside is that Boss Models is located just outside of the city, but still close enough.

You can shoot your shot with this agency by simply supplying your basic details, sharing your physical descriptions, and uploading your pictures in its online application form. Just beware of other scammers pretending to be scouts and managers for Boss Models.
