ShootModel

Get paid modeling bookings with your own rates and calendar

To get paid modeling bookings on ShootModel, create a model profile, pass the ID and age check, and set your rates and open dates. Brands and photographers find you by date, city and budget. Contracts and releases are made for every booking, and you are paid 48 hours after the shoot, minus a 15% platform fee.

From sign-up to your first booking

Create your profile

Add your best photos, your categories (like commercial, fitness, hand and parts, actor, creator or extra), your city and how far you will travel. On Model Pro you can list more than one city.

Pass the ID and age check

Every profile on ShootModel belongs to an adult. Before your profile goes public, an identity verification provider checks your ID and age. Bookers then see a verified badge on your card.

Set rates and availability

Set a rate for an hour, a half day and a full day. Mark the dates you are free on your calendar. You only show up in searches for dates you are open.

Choose instant booking or requests

Turn on instant booking if you want bookers to confirm right away. Leave it off to review each request and accept or decline within 24 hours.

How payouts work

The booker pays when the booking is confirmed. The money is held by the platform until the shoot is complete. Then you are paid to your bank account 48 hours later, unless the booker opens a dispute in that window. The 15% platform fee is withheld from your payout.

If a booker cancels late, you are still paid. Between 72 and 24 hours before call time you get half of your rate. Under 24 hours, or if the booker does not show up, you get your full rate.

Work with more peace of mind

  • 01Bookers sign up with verified accounts
  • 02Chat stays inside the booking, and your phone and personal email are not shared before a booking
  • 03The booking agreement, model release and usage license spell out where your images can run
  • 04Payment is collected before the shoot, so you never chase an invoice
  • 05Ratings come only from completed bookings, and you rate bookers too

What we can and cannot promise

We cannot promise how many bookings you will get. That depends on your city, your categories, your rates and how often your calendar is open. Profiles with clear recent photos, fair rates and plenty of open dates tend to be easier for bookers to choose. A Featured label on Model Pro gives you more visibility, but it is not a booking guarantee.

Make your model profile easy to book

Bookers decide fast. A clear profile helps them choose you with confidence.

  • 01Lead with recent photos that look like you do today, in good light.
  • 02Show range: a smiling commercial shot, a neutral headshot and a full-length photo.
  • 03Pick only the categories you really work in, so you appear in the right searches.
  • 04Keep your calendar up to date. Open dates are the only dates you can be booked.
  • 05Set rates that match your city and experience, and review them every few months.
  • 06Reply to requests quickly, well before the 24 hour limit.

Your comp card PDF is built from your profile, so a strong profile also gives you a strong comp card for castings outside ShootModel.

FAQ

01

Who can create a talent profile?

Any adult who passes the ID and age check. Profiles go public only after verification and with a talent plan.

02

How much does ShootModel take from my bookings?

A 15% platform fee is withheld from your payout. Bookers pay your listed rate plus their buyout, with no extra fee on their side.

03

When do I get paid?

48 hours after the shoot is complete, to your bank account, unless the booker opens a dispute in that window.

04

Can I decline a booking request?

Yes. Requests can be accepted or declined within 24 hours. Instant booking is optional.

05

What if the booker cancels at the last minute?

Under 24 hours before call time, you keep your full rate. Between 72 and 24 hours, you get half.

06

Do I need an agent to use ShootModel?

No. You set your own rates and accept bookings yourself. If you have an agency, it can list you on its roster too.

Are bookings guaranteed?

No. We do not promise a number of bookings, and Featured placement does not guarantee them either.
