Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Messina?
Experience is not a requirement. What counts: four natural photos, correct measurements and the willingness to travel to castings and productions.
02Does the application cost anything?
Nothing. We never charge for comp cards, photos or courses; if someone does, it is not us.
03How tall do I need to be?
Guide values: women 172 to 181 cm, men 184 to 192 cm for fashion. For commercial and e-commerce we book outside these ranges as well.
04What happens at the first casting?
We talk about your availability and goals, take polaroids and measurements, and explain the next steps. No test shoot, no fee.
05What does a model earn?
Day rates depend on the category and the usage: e-commerce days at the lower end, campaigns with buyouts at the upper end. Our commission is stated in the contract.
06Can I model part-time?
Part-time works well, especially for e-commerce and commercial jobs, which are usually day productions.
07Will I hear back?
With a clear yes or no, once we have looked at your photos. If yes, we propose a date for the video call.
08Will I get a comp card?
Your comp card is generated from your board profile and available as a PDF to every client.
