Frequently asked questions from models
We are looking for people who would like to be in front of the camera for advertising clients and who are not afraid to shoot moving images, from 0 to 100 years of age, of all shades and shapes. They should live in Switzerland or in the neighbouring countries and be flexible enough to take weekdays off. We are especially looking for families, cool kids, people over 30 and seniors. Reliability and friendliness are also very important to us.
It is important for us to get to know all our models personally. We want to see how they present themselves at a photo shoot. So a casting appointment with us is required for inclusion in our portfolio. We can add your existing pictures to our casting pictures in your profile.
Unfortunately, even we professionals can’t predict how often you’ll be booked. Sometimes we can arrange several assignments in a single month, and sometimes it takes a long time until we get a request for a certain model in our portfolio. Clients don’t always focus on beauty but are often looking instead for a certain type of person to fit a campaign. It’s best to think of modelling as a side job that pops up now and then.
The modelling fees consist of a generous hourly wage and, depending on the use of the images, an additional fee for the rights of use. For the most part, expenses are paid as well. The most common booking duration is half a day. Details about the fee will be sent to you with the assignment.
Our task as your agency is to support you in your search for modelling assignments. We present you in our portfolio and suggest you to our clients if your type fits the briefing. We negotiate the conditions with the clients and take care of the contracts. Once you join us, you will have access to our tutorials, workshops and webinars on topics such as how to create the perfect casting video, what is meant by “polas”, and how to make optimal current pictures and videos on your own, etc. This will help you to present yourself perfectly.
We look very carefully at the pictures in children’s applications, because we need current photos of good quality every few months. High-quality pictures are therefore an advantage if you want to be included in our portfolio. The photos should be in sharp focus, show the child alone, and have a relatively calm background. The parents of a child model must have the flexibility to accompany them to shoots. The school should be lenient about granting days off. Often bookings come at very short notice. Since children change very quickly, it is very important to send us regular size updates, even if there are no current bookings.
