Do models need to have an agent?

Jonathan Phang (Model booker) gives expert video advice on: Do I have to be a size zero to be a model?; Do I have to be a certain height to be a model?; Do models need to have an agent? and more...

A model needs an agent because they do not have the time to support the back-up that they need. They need somebody to negotiate their fees for them, because they will then get more by getting somebody else to do it. People question the motivation of not having an agent, because it's effectively turning around to an industry that is very well established saying, "You're all crap."
