Define Your Project Requirements

Before starting your search, clarify:

• Model Specifications: Age, gender, height, body type, and other physical attributes.

• Budget: Define your financial limits, including fees, travel, and accommodations if needed.

• Timeline: Specify the shoot or event dates, including rehearsal or fitting times.

• Location: Indicate where the project will take place.

• Mood Board: Fashion mood board is a collage of images that can include different styles, trends, colors, fabrics, and more.

Review Portfolios: Evaluate models’ versatility, posing skills, and previous work experience. Check if their look aligns with your brand or project theme. Look for diversity in their portfolio (commercial, editorial, casual, etc.).

Shortlist and Contact Models: Once you've selected potential candidates, reach out to them or their agents. Provide detailed information about your project, including expectations, payment terms, and any specific requirements. Ask for their availability and interest.

Negotiate Terms: Fees: Hourly, daily, or flat rates for the project. Usage Rights: Specify where and how the images or videos will be used. Travel and Accommodation: Clarify whether these costs will be covered. Wardrobe and Styling: Determine if they need to bring their own outfits or accessories. Conduct a Casting Call (Optional). If you have multiple candidates, organize a casting call to assess them in person. Evaluate their posing, professionalism, and ability to follow directions.

Confirm the Booking: Finalize the details with the selected model(s) and draft a contract outlining. Payment terms. Shoot or event schedule. Usage rights for the work. Cancellation policies.

Prepare for the Shoot: Provide to models - Mood boards or visual references. Details of the team (photographer, makeup artist, stylist). Call sheets with exact timings and locations. A mood board is a visual tool used in fashion, modeling, photography, and creative industries to capture the aesthetic, tone, and vision for a project. It’s a collage of images, colors, textures, and text that conveys the desired style or mood.

Conduct the Shoot: Ensure the model(s) are comfortable and briefed on expectations. Provide breaks and refreshments, especially for long shoots.

Follow Up: Post-shoot, send the model(s) a copy of the final work (if agreed upon). Provide feedback and maintain good relations for future collaborations.
