Elite Models, NYC Director Neal Hamil talks model requirements

While Halo is a local agency, we have the same requirements as the top agencies in New York, Paris and Milan.  Halo works directly with large  market agencies.  At Halo, if we find talent that has potential outside of the Savannah market, we will set appointments for a model to be seen by the top agencies in New York.  However, a model must meet specific requirements.  Listen as Neal Hamil, director of Elite Models North America, describes what it takes to be a model.
