Paparazzi Model Management

Paparazzi model management started in 1983 and was the first model agency in Finland. It was founded by Laila Snellman, a former model herself, and is still running under her supervision for three decades.

Paparazzi is the most successful agency of Finland and constantly provides contemporary beauties to the fashion industry. Since the 80’s Paparazzi’s models also have international successes such as Angelika Kallio starting her modeling career in 1989 with Karl Lagerfeld’s campaign and walking the best runways for years, Ninja Sarasalo catching the perfume campaign of Jean Paul Gaultier in 90’s, Pipsa Hurmerinta in Louis Vuitton’s campaign late 90’s and finally Suvi Koponen becoming a major topmodel in 2006 with covers for Vogue and campaigns for Calvin Klein and Stella McCartney to name a few of her constant achievements!

We are constantly scouting for new faces and have been involved in many different model search contests. We have potential new models in training and keep looking for new ones to test all the time. Besides women, we also represent men, senior models and local celebrities. Paparazzi’s booking board consists of Pirjo Varjoranta, Jari Leskinen and Claudia Snellman.
