167 open modeling casting calls in New York, 64 posted in the last 7 days, last updated Oct-07-26. From casting platforms, agency boards, Instagram and TikTok, screened for scams and scored against your profile.
167 of the 827 open castings in New York are modeling work: 20%, against 19% across the whole catalog. 56% are listed as paid, against 53% of modeling castings everywhere. 19 of the 167 are union or open to both. 7 can be done remotely.

Modeling castings cover print and e-commerce, lookbooks and campaigns, fit and showroom work, promotional and trade-show modeling, and the brand shoots that are increasingly cast straight from Instagram. Most are open submissions; agency representation helps but is not required for the majority of them.
New York runs on fashion, theatre and commercials: runway and showroom castings around the fashion weeks, off-Broadway and student film work year-round, and a steady stream of print and e-commerce shoots.
HeyBooker keeps your stats in the format castings expect, generates a comp card from your own photos, and attaches it to every email application. When a casting is posted on Instagram, the draft lands on your clipboard with the account open.
