Welcome to Standard Models! We are a boutique mother agency based in Nashville, Tennessee, specializing in the scouting, development, and global placement of male talent.
Founded by fashion photographer Sheri Angeles, whose career spans over two decades behind the lens and more than 13 years within the fashion industry, Standard was built on a deep understanding of both image-making and model development from the inside out.
Today, Standard operates as a focused, all-male mother agency, dedicated to discovering and shaping the next generation of talent across fashion, editorial, and commercial markets. Our approach is highly selective and hands-on, with an emphasis on long-term career building, strategic placement, and strong industry alignment.
As the agency continues to grow, Standard is expanding into direct booking and client partnerships, creating new opportunities for talent while maintaining the personalized development and placement model at its core.
In addition to our primary focus, we continue to manage and place a select group of established female talent on a limited and highly individualized basis.
At Standard, we believe that successful careers are built with intention. Our commitment is to develop talent with clarity, integrity, and a standard of excellence that extends beyond the image.
Founder & CEO

Sheri Angeles got her start on the red carpet doing celebrity fashion and events and is now considered the next hot celebrity photographer. From major YouTubers, Influencers, Reality Stars, and A-List Celebrities. Sheri has ventured her way through Hollywood making quite the name for herself.
Specializing in creative direction, Sheri excels in making her concepts come to life, whether it be for a magazine spread or cover, editorial, albums, events, and more. Her knowledge for posing and directing while shooting is top notch and is something that every client compliments on.

With this knowledge and passion to help make peoples’ modeling dreams a reality, especially working with new talent and veteran models, a desire was born for Sheri to create her own mother agency.
