Thanks so much!

William Morris Agency - after maybe you get a SAG card.

The other best agency in LA would be to land a few dates with George Clooney,
he is single now and if you got photographed with him. Oh what it could do
for your career. - wink wink

There's no such thing as "best."

You haven't clearly defined what sort of modeling you intend to do once you sign to an agency, but in the L.A. market, you won't really make any money whatsoever as a fashion model.  Elite has a lot more commercial clients and the credibility of a fashion agency.  LA Models and Photogenics have exclusive contracts to provide models for LA Fashion Week if you're interested in runway.  Nous and I Models are very good agencies which are more on the boutique side (fewer represented models).  Next and Ford are both very strong but fiercely competitive so unless you're a top booker, you will probably flounder and get lost in the catalogue.

edit:
I checked out your pictures, and I think you'd be best suited for commercial and lifestyle modeling, which in Los Angeles, is where the serious money lives.  If I were you, I'd ditch the editorial fashion direction and try to reinvent your portfolio with a softer, more smiley and natural motif.

Very solid advice. Brian is absolutely spot-on correct here. I'd take his advice.

I don't agree.

Based on what I see in your port, you should give the fashion agencies a chance.  I think you'd find at least some of them interested.

It's a numbers game...and in this short post, everyone's commented on your 'look'.  That's a good sign.

Aim high and hit 'em all, I say.  You need "polas", if you don't have 'em.

Ditto. And good luck

I haven't a clue, but the way you look, you're gonna find out really quick.

I love Photogenics.  The agent there for women is top notch.

LA Models has a huge roster, but auditions a lot.  Very pro.  I like.

Vision is coming on strong.  Not so 'service'-y when I'm booking...but selective and very pro.

Next and Q are both very legit, and have been lovely to work with.

I-models has gone thru changes, new-ish and not 'A-list'..but they've sent me lovely people. 

Otto Models is not considered 'A-list' either..but lovely people and they book a lot.  That'd be backup.

Ford is still strong..but not as hip, IMO. 

Those are my faves.  Tons of others.

Hope that helps you.

This is dead-on accurate.
