How long do modeling agencies take to respond?
Usually they don't. Agencies answer the models they want and say nothing to everyone else, so it's more useful to ask why yours didn't.
Why modeling agencies don't respond
No reply means no, but it never tells you why. Was it the photos, the agency or the email? Most models guess, then resend the same digitals to the same agencies a month later.
I've modelled since 2015 and now shoot for new faces, and the reason is rarely the face. Usually it's something the model could have fixed in a day.
Before you follow up
Timing matters more than wording here. Follow up too early, or more than once, and an agent who might have said yes later stops opening your emails.
