Berlin Model Agency

What this catalog holds

Each profile on this site carries a model's own photographs, her working details and her rates, and the channels she has published for contact. There is no agency behind the page, no intermediary and no booking desk. A booker reads a profile, decides, and writes to the model on the messenger or number listed there. The terms of the shoot are settled between the two of them, in writing, before the date is fixed.

For a catalogue day the portfolio matters more than for an editorial. Look at how the light sits on the face in the frames, whether the hands and the hair read cleanly at the distance a product shot needs, and whether the body carries the garment the way the brief requires. A fitting size is a hard parameter for apparel and lingerie work and irrelevant for a headshot or a hair piece; a head of hair is the whole job for a salon or a product placement and a footnote for a swimwear day. The working details on a profile are the casting parameters, written as facts, not as a description.

What to settle before the shoot

A first message that carries the dates, the hours, the studio or location, and what the pictures will be used for, and for how long, is the minimum a model can quote against. Usage is the line first-time bookers skip and every model asks about: a lookbook for a brand's own site is not the same as a paid social campaign, and a nude for a photographer's book is not the same as a lingerie set for a retailer's catalogue. Agree the overtime rate, who provides hair and make-up, and the travel and accommodation if the shoot is outside the city, and put it all in the same message. The fee is quoted against those terms, not against a date alone.

This site represents nobody, quotes no fee, holds no date and checks nothing. The portfolio is the model's own, the rate is hers, and the contact is hers. What is agreed is agreed between the booker and the model, and the site stands behind neither.
