GetModel lists 20 modeling agencies with a board or office in Moscow. Moscow is the largest modeling market in Russia and the CIS: mother agencies, scouting offices and the local boards of the international networks all operate here, which is why it carries more agencies than any other city in this directory.
The largest rosters in Moscow are NIK Model Management, Motion Models and OpenUP Model Management — the grid below is ordered by roster size, and every card opens the agency profile with founding year, specialties, notable models and the official contacts for submissions and bookings. For the same agencies ranked by the number of models we hold for each, see Top Modeling Agencies in Moscow.
Most Moscow boards run open calls and accept digitals by email or through their own site; many also place scouts at open castings, so a model can be seen without any agency contact at all. If you are choosing between offers, read How to Choose a Modeling Agency, and browse the rest of the directory on the agencies hub.

How to choose an agency
No fees to sign
A real agency is paid a commission on the work it books. Registration fees, compulsory paid courses and a mandatory in-house photographer are the standard warning signs.
Look at the board, not the promise
Open the agency's own site and see who it actually represents and which clients those models shoot for. A board full of recent work is worth more than any pitch.
Match the market
High fashion, commercial, curve and talent boards want different things. A mother agency in your city that places you abroad often beats a distant big name.
How to submit
- 1
Shoot digitals
Front, side and back plus a close-up. No makeup, no retouching, hair down, plain wall, natural light.

- 3
Use the agency's own form
Every profile here links the official site and social accounts. Submit through the agency's new-faces form or attend an open call — and never pay to apply.

Frequently asked questions
- How do I get into a modeling agency in Moscow?
- Send digitals — plain, unretouched photos (full length, waist up, face) in fitted clothes with no makeup — together with your height and measurements, through the agency's own submission form or at its open call. Every agency on this page is listed with its website, so you can apply directly. Most Moscow boards run open calls and accept digitals by email or through their own site; many also place scouts at open castings, so a model can be seen without any agency contact at all.
- What do Moscow modeling agencies look for?
- It depends on the board, not on the city: fashion divisions have historically worked to sample sizes (around 175 cm and up for women, 185 cm and up for men), while commercial, curve and talent divisions set no height rule and book on castability. Age, proportions, healthy skin and hair, and the ability to take direction matter everywhere — check each Moscow agency's own requirements page before you submit, since the divisions differ.
- Do modeling agencies in Moscow charge a fee?
- A legitimate agency does not charge to represent you: it earns a commission on the work it books for you, typically around 20%. Paying up front for "registration", a mandatory portfolio with an agency-appointed photographer or a "course" is the classic sign of a scam — in Moscow as anywhere else. Costs that are genuinely normal (test shoots you commission yourself, travel, a printed book) are your own and never a condition of being signed.
