My son, Dylan, just recently signed with Jake Lang at Wings Model Management. A couple of years ago I sent in some pictures of Dylan and Jake called me immediately. He mentioned that he would like to see Dylan as soon as possible. We had a face to face meeting a few days later and Jake told Dylan that he had a great look and he shot a few pictures of him. He wanted to sign Dylan. Dylan was only 14 years old at the time, and a little immature and intimidated by the whole modeling experience. We chose to hold off for a while on the modeling because Dylan was involved in football, track and here's the biggie . . . he had a girlfriend. I called Jake and told him we were going to wait a bit before signing. Jake was a little disappointed, but he understood completely. Over the span of the following 2 years I would get a phone call
every few months from none other than Jake Lang. You see, Jake never gave up on Dylan. Jake Lang knows a model when he see's one. Finally a couple of months ago, I emailed Jake and told him I thought Dylan was ready to sign and I wanted to set up another face to face meeting with Jake. Dylan signed with Jake right away! Since then Dylan has been on several auditions and he just did a major shoot for Ohio's Department of Travel and Tourism advertising Zoombezi Bay Water Park located in Columbus, Ohio. Dylan had so much fun on the shoot and he enjoyed every moment of his experience. Now, looking back, I truly believe Dylan wishes he would have signed a couple of years back. Like the saying goes, ""Live and Learn!""
Here's the thing, Jake never gave up and he has done everything in a very professional manner. Jake did Dylan's photo shoot and I didn't recognize my own child after seeing some of the shots of Dylan. He looked like Mr. Hollywood!
I would also like to mention, that when Dylan and I went back for our face to face meeting a couple of months ago, I took some pictures of a friend of Dylan's with me. I showed the pictures to Jake and pointed out the kid's beautiful bone structure (not that Jake didn't notice on his own because he did). Jake told me, I would like to see this kid tomorrow if possible. Guess where Dylan's friend went this past Thursday and Friday . . . . to New York City to audition for Calvin Klein. This kid was tickled to death, as was his family and I was thrilled for him as well!
Jake Lang has much respect in the modeling business. He has been an agent for 13 years, has many connections and he will not encourage false hope. That is what I love about him. He is upfront, and
if your child needs to improve themselves in some way, Jake will tell you. My son needed to see a dermatologist, not because his skin was bad, but he did have occasional breakouts. Off we went to see the dermatologist., and Dylan got an antibiotic to prevent those occasional breakouts. His skin is clear all the time now and he is model ready for his next assignment.
If you want to be a model, have the look and want
to work, you need to call Jake Lang at Wings Model Management. He is the best in the area and knows the modeling business inside out. As your agent, if you have a question or concern all you need to do is email or call Jake and he will get back to you in the same day. He never hesitates to help and if he doesn't have the answer, he will find the answer and help you. Jake is in the business because he truly loves what he does and it shows in his manner and professionalism. Jake is an extremely busy man, and sometimes his time is limited, BUT as your agent he will find time for you. After Dylan's shoot in Columbus Jake contacted me just to see how everything went. I thought that was
a very nice professional touch. If Jake wasn't the best, he wouldn't have cared. But Jake Lang is the best and he DID care and that is why he called. Want to model and have the best agent is Cincinnati, call Jake Lang.
