Representation is like a marriage; a relationship between the rep and the photographer. But first the photographer has to know what his/her photographic goals are, so ask yourself in what direction do you want to take your photography and where you want your photography career to go in the next five years? Ten years? What are your goals? As soon as you establish this, look for a rep with the same goals as you. The rep and the photographer should have the same goals.
Here are a few tips for looking for photography representation. How many photographers does he/she represent? Who are the photographers and what is their work like, ask for their names so you can research their work or a link to the rep's web site? Look for a rep that works with a variety of talent and photographic styles, this way your work is not competing with another photographer's work. What is the rep's client list, does it match yours?
On a side note, most reps will approach the photographer not the other way around. Good luck!
