Samples of cover letters for a model
To get a position as a model, you need a well-written cover letter that showcases your passion for and dedication to the industry. It would be best to accompany your cover letter with a resume and your pictures. When writing a modeling cover letter, these are some of the essential things to include in your letter:
- Address the employer with a formal salutation. For example, “Dear/Hello (name of the recipient or hiring manager).”
- The next step is to state the position you are applying for and how you found the opening.
- Write a short sentence about why you’re interested in the position.
- State your skills and work experience; ensure they are similar to the job position. When stating your skills, provide the accomplishment you have achieved.
- Conclude your letter with a forward-looking statement. For example, “I look forward to discussing the position further.”

Dear Mr. Barone,
I’m writing to apply for the Fashion Model position with your agency. I have ten years of modeling experience with a wide variety of clientele and campaigns. Currently as a fashion model I am spending the majority of my time working on a magazine layout for a major cosmetics brand.
My versatility lends itself well to various modeling needs. I am a high-energy model who strives to maintain a positive attitude and freshness throughout long shoots which I believe is an asset for anyone in this industry. I possess a unique look that stands out from the crowd but I can adapt to various moods and styles. Previous employers have praised me for my work ethic and positive attitude as well as for my modeling performance. I’m confident I can meet your needs on this campaign and that I can deliver the dramatic look you’re after.
My head shot and credentials as a fashion model speak for themselves. However I would love to meet with you in person to demonstrate my fit for this position. Please don’t hesitate to reach out to me by phone or email and I thank you for your time.
Warmly,
Brady Kline”

Dear [Mr./Ms./Mx.] [Hiring Manager’s Name],
I’m excited to apply for a commercial model position with Teno Watches, which I discovered on Indeed.com. I began modeling when I was 14 years old in Oslo, Norway, and since then I’ve completed 90+ photo shoots and runway shows in North America, Europe, and Asia. With my international modeling experiences, and a friendly approach to meeting new teams and embracing their artistic concepts, I believe I’ll be a great model for Teno Watches.
During my time with Idol Looks Modeling Agency in Oslo, I completed 3 photo shoots and 1 TV commercial with the German watch brand Montblanc. I’m fluent in English and Norwegian, and I can also speak conversational German. It was an enriching experience communicating in German with the director, photographers, and styling team and adapting my poses while simultaneously following directions. I hope to bring my flexibility and positive attitude to Teno Watches.
Since 2008, I’ve worked with brands like Calvin Klein and Givenchy for runway shows and have also appeared in 60+ web and magazine advertisements with Teen Vogue, InStyle, and Vogue. Besides these modeling gigs, I’m also skilled at using social media platforms such as Instagram and TikTok. Currently, I have 75,000+ followers on both platforms. I believe my abilities to not only know how to present myself well for the camera but also understand what customers are looking for are another reason why I’m a good fit for your role.
I look forward to meeting you for an interview at your convenience. You can reach me at (989) 143-7676 or ollie.brenos@gmail.com. Thank you for your time and consideration.
Sincerely,
Ollie Brenos”

“Dear Ms. Wanderley,
My agent informed me that your swimwear brand is looking for a male model to work on a number of assignments in various locations over the summer.
I have travelled to 30+ countries for various shoots, most for fast fashion labels and in particular summer collections and beachwear. My pictures have been featured in all major fashion magazines and websites and Vogue voted me into their top 100 male models of the year. I have received multiple awards from the swimwear industry, a selection of which I have enclosed in my industry portfolio.
My background in swimming and water sports lends an authenticity and energetic attitude on set and I feel comfortable out in the sea on jet skis, water craft or even on a surf board. I have a category one lifeguard qualification and was the face of the national “swim safe” campaign last summer.
I know that you said that television work would be a bonus, so I hope that my showreel of 8 commercials may be of interest. I have worked with leading directors from the sportswear industry as well as swimwear and I possess the sporting background that many of them are looking for. There is nothing worse than a swimwear model who cannot swim.
Previous clients have praised me for my work ethic, and I am known for my perfectionism in terms of getting the perfect shot. If a drop of water is in the wrong place, we go again.
I would welcome the chance to meet you and your team. I have long been an admirer of your brand, love what your creative team have done previously and would value the opportunity of helping you reach a wider audience.
Sincerely,
Travis Hayman”
