Most Models Start With Zero Industry
Training or Guidance

Learn from the experts who cast, book, and train professional models before the costly mistakes happen.

Wasting Money on Photos

Agencies don't want expensive headshots they want the right ones. Most get this wrong from day one.

Illegitimate Agencies

Most rejections happen because the agency was never the right fit not because you're not good enough.

Industry Scams

Thousands of dollars for a upfront for a photoshoot or promise of a contract with nothing real delivered.

Portfolio Not Landing Work

You're investing but is your portfolio actually helping you book jobs? Or just burning cash?

No Callbacks. No Feedback.

You've submitted your shots and heard nothing back. Learn how to get in front of the right people.

Signing the Wrong Contracts

You don't know what's normal. You're not expected to but that doesn't mean you should sign blindly.
