Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Besançon?
Experience is not a requirement. What counts: four natural photos, correct measurements and the willingness to travel to castings and productions.

No. Application, admission and first polaroids are free. We earn a commission on jobs, never from you.

Part-time works well, especially for e-commerce and commercial jobs, which are usually day productions.

No. Exclusivity is an option we discuss once you have worked with us; it is never a condition for admission.

Absolutely. Clients book faces of all ages, and the classic category is one of our busiest.
