Apply for modeling agency representation without paying a cent
ModelContracts books adult models for brands, studios and event teams across the US. Applying takes one form: your photos, measurements, experience and city. After age and ID verification you can apply to castings that fit you. You never pay us anything, not to apply, not to be booked and not to get paid.
Adults 18 and over, every type of model
We work with adults only. If you are 18 or older and want fashion, commercial, fitness, event or e-commerce work, you can apply. There is no single look we are after. Brands cast for real customers, so they post castings for many sizes, ages, heights and styles.
- 01 Fashion and editorial
- 02 Commercial and lifestyle
- 03 E-commerce and lookbook
- 04 Fitness and athletic
- 05 Plus size and petite
- 06 Male models
- 07 Promotional models and brand ambassadors
Your application in one form
The form asks for what brands look at first. Keep it honest and current. Brands book on the profile, so a profile that matches you on set is the one that gets rebooked.
- Photos: a clear headshot, a full length shot and a few recent images, no heavy filters
- Measurements: height, bust or chest, waist, hips, dress or suit size, shoe size
- Experience: past work, if any, and the kind of work you want
- City and how far you can travel
- Availability and any skills such as dance, sports or languages
Age and ID verification protects you too
Before you can apply to castings we verify your age and identity with a government ID and a selfie check. Brands are verified on their side as well. This keeps minors off the platform and keeps fake clients away from you. Read how we verify on our safety page.
See your comp card before you submit
Your profile turns into a comp card that brands see in castings. The preview shows how your details will look.

- Height
- Measurements

No fees for models, ever
Legitimate agencies earn from the clients who book you, not from you. On ModelContracts brands pay a subscription and an agency fee. Models never pay for a profile, a portfolio package, a test shoot, an application or a payout. If anyone asks you to pay to be represented, read modeling agency scams before you hand over money.
From application to payment
Once verified, you see castings that match your profile. Each casting shows the rate the brand set, the date, the hours and the planned usage. You apply to the ones you want. If a brand books you, you review the modeling contract and the model release form in your account and sign only if you agree. After the shoot the brand confirms the hours and your payout is sent for the agreed amount.
- 01 Rates are set by the brand and shown before you apply
- 02 Every booking comes with a signed agreement
- 03 Usage is stated in writing: media, term, territory
- 04 Payouts carry no fees for models
Honest expectations
We do not promise bookings or a set income. Work depends on what brands are casting in your city and category. What we do promise is a fair process: verified clients, written contracts, rates you can see and no fees. If you are just starting out, our guide on how to start modeling covers the first steps.
