Model booking that shows who is free on your shoot date
Model booking on ShootModel works like booking a hotel room. You enter the shoot date, city, hours and budget, and you see verified adult models who are free that day, with the full rate for your hours. You book now or send a request, pay through the platform, and get the paperwork done for you.
Why booking a model used to take days
The usual path starts with an email to an agency or a post in a group. You wait for options, then ask about the date, then ask about the rate, then ask who writes the release. Each step is a new message, and by the time you have an answer the model may be booked elsewhere.
ShootModel puts the answers in front of you before you click. Each card in the results shows that the model is free on your date and what your hours will cost. There is no quote round and no guessing.

Three steps to book models online
Search with the details you already know
Pick the talent type, the city or remote, the date, how many hours you need, your budget and the age range you want. Every model on ShootModel is an adult whose ID and age were checked before the profile went live.
Pick a model and confirm
Open a profile to see the portfolio, rates for an hour, half day and full day, travel radius and ratings from past bookings when there are any. Models with instant booking turned on can be booked with one click. For everyone else you send a request, and the model accepts or declines within 24 hours.
Shoot, then release the payment
Your card is charged when the booking is confirmed. The money stays with the platform until the shoot is complete. The model gets paid 48 hours after the shoot, unless you open a dispute in that window.
One price you can plan around
The price you see is the model's listed rate for your hours plus the usage buyout you choose at checkout. That is the whole bill. There is no booker service fee on top. Our 15% platform fee comes out of the model's side of the payment, so the number on the card is the number on your receipt.
- 01Rate for the exact hours you searched for
- 02Usage buyout picked at checkout, such as social only or full paid media
- 03Booking agreement, model release and usage license, signed online by both sides
- 04Chat with the model inside the booking
- 05Payment held until the shoot is complete
Contracts made for every booking
Every confirmed booking creates three documents on its own: a booking agreement, a model release and a usage license. The license lists the media, territory, term and exclusivity you picked. Both sides sign online, and you can download each file as a PDF at any time. When your legal team asks for a release six months later, it is stored with the booking.
Clear rules if plans change
If the model cancels or does not show up, you get the full booking charge back and we help you find someone new. If you cancel 72 hours or more before the call time, you get the full charge back. Between 72 and 24 hours, half of the talent rate goes to the model and the rest comes back to you, along with the buyout. Under 24 hours, the model keeps the full rate and the buyout comes back to you.

No. You can search without an account and see real rates and dates. After the first few rows, more results open once you sign up.

Yes. Chat opens inside the booking after you send a request. Phone numbers and personal emails are not shared before the booking.
