Breaking into the modeling industry can be an exciting but often
frustrating experience for aspiring models. Competition is fierce
in the industry and modeling agencies literally receive millions
of photos each year from new models who wants to be the next John
Abraham and Bipasha Basu.
Modeling agencies are so swamped with photos that several agencies
have admitted to us that they don't even open the envelopes or
emails of photos they receive unless it is from an established
agency with whom, they already have an established relationship.
This way they know that the photos they receive have been screened,
professionally presented and there is a good chance they will
be interested in the new model being shown to them.

and knowledgeable in the modeling, acting, and fashion industries.

• Can I still become a model
if I am in School/College, Have SpareTime During Vacations and
Holidays.
Reputable agencies will always make school a priority. There are
two reasons for this:
A)
Most aspiring models are of school age and agencies are accustomed
to working around your school schedule, especially teen age and
kids modeling. Shoots are normally fixed up on public holidays/
Saturday and Sundays.
B) A model’s career, no matter how successful is extremely
short and unpredictable, making it more important to have a solid educational base
from which to draw on once the modeling career is over.

• How
do I get modeling assignments? And Your Commission?
Once you have made a portfolio and registered
with you will be entitled to get calls of those inquires which
suits to your profile, availability and performance skills. How
it works, please note:
1.
First of the client use to give us the brief by phone calls, emails
about the assignments, budget, age group and characteristic of the
models and ask us to suggested the pictures and names of the models,
so we shortlist the models first and suggest to the clients. Thereafter
the client revert with short listed models for meeting or a audition.
2. If any client is new, we check out their creditability in the
market before we take up casting job for them.
3. Any of casting requirement which your profile suits to your
profile, our casting team will suggest your name, bio data and
pictures to the client. If you are short listed by the client,
we will inform you the clients address, contact details to go
and meet with them.
4. At the other end, some clients send us the brief of the assignment
and ask us to send directly the models for audition and meetings.
5. After audition or meeting if you are selected for the assignment,
we will negotiate the final fee, shoot date, location and will
inform to the model to report at the time of shoot. Our representative
is always at the time of auditions and possibly at the time of
shoot.
6. Once the shoot has taken place, the client will make the payment
as per mutual condition between us. And the models payment will
be made with 3- 4 days from the date we receive the modeling fee
from the client after deducting our commission of 20% from the
gross modeling fee.
7. Some time the clients wish to make payment by cheque/cash to
the models, in that case we trust on our models as they will make
the payment of our 20% commission to us, once the given cheque is credited in their
account.
8. In case of any legal aspect, or making any exclusive contract
between models and advertisers,
we will shoulder the responsibility for mutual convenience and
interest.
9. In case of any outstation shoot, we settle down everything
clear with the client about travel, stay and safety aspect for
you.

•
What to do, if assignment is rejected
after the shoot?
Some time the models are chosen by their pictures, not by a personal
meeting or audition, especially for press and still shot. By the
way, on the spot of the shoot, the client doesn’t find the
models as per his/her pictures, you will be dropped for that assignments
and the client will not make any payment in this case. So always
keep your updated pictures in your portfolio. If any noticeable
changes have come up in your appearance like skin appearance,
age, hair cut, weight any other change, you should be prompt and
honest to inform to the agency.
Very rarely,
but it happens some time, the shoot had been done and you have given
your 100% for the assignments. Unfortunately, due to some technical
issue or any other reason the whole assignments is wasted due to
whatsoever reason and will be scrapped ( not will be used for any
commercial/professional purpose). The client is liable to pay 50%
of the fixed assignment fee to the models as he/she had given the
required time, efforts and their performance.
