2. Ursula Wiedmann Models (UWM)
About the agency
Ursula Wiedmann Models is a full service modeling and talent agency based in Atlanta GA. It was founded by former Elite model Ursula Wiedmann.
After signing with Elite Models in New York, Wiedmann enjoyed a 24 year career as a professional and international model appearing in numerous editorials, covers, and campaigns.
After her modeling career Wiedmann then moved to Atlanta and decided to pursue her true passion of developing and managing models by creating the UWM agency.
UWM represents women, men, toddlers/kids/teens (3 months -18 years) and differently abled persons. The agency also represents Lifestyle Models, Fashion & Runway Models, Fit Models, Street Models, Curve Models, Voiceover Artists, Hosts & Spokespersons, Theater Actors, Commercial Actors, Film & TV Actors, Styling Artists, and Hair & Makeup Artists.
The agency books jobs for its clients throughout the Southeast. It also develops and manages the modeling careers of its talent. UWM is not a modeling school or affiliated with any modeling schools.
The agency believes that the best way to learn modeling is by doing it. UWM is a small and selective agency, which means that when it takes on a model or actor, it’s main objective is to create working talent and help propel their career to the highest level.
The agency books its models locally and places them nationally and internationally. When a model signs with the agency the entire team supports and backs the model every step of the way.
UVM understands the importance of attending school and values the education and personal development of its young talent. Many UVM models attend top universities while having a successful modeling career.
As a result when working with its young talent (especially those under 16) the agency will work with the model to keep the work at a pace that both they and their parents are comfortable with.
School and sports activities are given priority and each model or actor’s plan is specialized to fit his or her very unique place in the business.

UWM is currently scouting new faces of all sizes, ages, and gender identities and developed lifestyle models of all ages. Submit your filled application here. Alternatively you can also email some current snapshots to: join@ursulawiedmannmodels.com.
