The Association of Model Agents & ALBA
The difference between the Association of Model Agents and Albamodel.info is that Alba is a totally independent public advice service and not linked with or run by any model agency.
The Association of Model Agents (AMA) is a small self-governing group of model agencies (18) that have set their own standards regarding conduct. They will provide you with a list of their members along with the strict criteria that they expect models to fit dealing with high fashion only.
To save you the cost of the call and postage we have the information that the Association of Model Agents (the AMA) will send to you here.
