QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

Questions and answers for models and advertising types

I would like to register with Prestige Modelmanagement. What happens with my details?
Each member can view only their own personal details. Your personal details (address, telephone number, e-mail) are not made publicly available. Clients of all types, including broadcasters and TV production companies, only receive your full details once they have agreed a binding booking with you. Your details will never be passed to third parties without your consent!

Is the proposal from Prestige Modelmanagement legitimate?
We work in principle only with reputable leading companies and clients. We do not handle/strictly reject enquiries from disreputable parties, and requests for erotic photo shoots. To ensure that only reputable clients are able to contact you, our editors first check all messages and booking requests to you to ensure they are legitimate. With members who are minors in particular, we take exceptional care to ensure that only messages and booking requests that correspond to the age of the minor are forwarded. Every booking request is discussed with the legal guardian before it is confirmed.

Clients use our platform as a research tool, and it is designed to help you reach reputable contacts without your private contact details being visible or published on the internet. An online profile/booking card, casting appointments checked for content, and partner offers actively support you in using their own initiative to significantly increase the chances of being contacted by client! As a member, you can effectively promote yourself and your registration and online profile/booking profile to a number of clients who prefer to find the right people for their upcoming projects directly via the internet!

Am I obliged to accept every assignment?
No. Of course only you decide the assignments you are prepared to accept, and at what fee. If you have questions about an assignment, the appropriate fee, or other questions, our service team are of course happy to help you at any time via e-mail (support.uk@prestige-modelmanagement.com).

Do I receive a booking guarantee as one of your members?
Unfortunately not! A reputable agency cannot guarantee that every member will get bookings. Every client has his own ideas, and decides for himself which member to select and book. Clients often look for a particular type (big, small, chubby, slim, etc.), or a face to suit the specific advertisement etc., so we cannot give you any guarantee of an assignment or booking; however, we do receive and handle a lot of assignments and booking enquiries for our child models via our portal.

How can I become a top model?
You need to be realistic about this. In addition to a nice appearance and good contacts, there's also a lot of luck involved. Millions of young girls and boys all across the world dream of being a top model one day. But only very few of them make it. However, there are plenty of clients looking for unknown models and newcomers to book for small and larger assignments. It could be a corporate brochure, attendance at a trade fair, a fashion show, an event or an extra in a film. As long as you have the necessary personal initiative, we will happily support you. However much you want to be a top model, you should be realistic about your chances.

What photos are suitable for my online profile/booking card?
You can add up to around 100 photos of yourself to your online profile/booking card. It is very important that you chose the photos carefully. You should always include a portrait shot (face from the front) and a full-length photo. Photos with people other than yourself on them, on which you are wearing sunglasses, and pictures that do not give the client a full impression of you are not suitable.

I have a new address? What should I do?
If you have moved home, any of your personal details have changed, or you have a new mobile phone number, as a member you can very easily change everything using your own access details. You can manage and add to all your other details and photos in your member area.

Register as a minor model?
Children and youngsters aged under 18 can be registered only with parental consent, or the consent of their legal guardian. Parents are liable for any damage caused by children Prestige Modelmanagement accepts no responsibility in this event.

How can I contact you?
Please use the contact form, and select the appropriate menu point for your enquiry. This will ensure we can respond to your enquiry quickly. If you have questions about the contract or a booking, you can contact us at any time by e-mail. (support.uk@prestige-modelmanagement.com)

How do I get placed?
You are presented to our customers in advertising, fashion and film via the online profile/booking card. You can put yourself forward using good quality private photos, or professional agency photos.

I would like to register as a model/advertising model. Who can apply?
In principle, anyone aged between 15 and 80 can apply free of charge, and with no obligation. It is important that you are well-groomed, self-confident, have good charisma, and that you are photogenic and enjoy photography and film.

Do I need to be exceptionally attractive?
No. In advertising, it doesn't matter whether you are big or small, slim or chubby, young or young at heart, attractive or distinctive. Advertising doesn't just want headline beauties, often it needs people like you and me. It is important that you enjoy photography and filming.

How do I apply?
Complete a survey under the menu point 'Apply as a model' on the home page and send it to us, if possible with a few current photos. We will let you know within one week whether we are interested in working with you.

Do I have to attend the agency in person?
No. Because we are a professional online agency, we only present models online. So there are no introduction and casting appointments.

What is an ONLINE PROFILE/BOOKING CARD?
The online profile/booking card is the most important promotional tool, and every model's personal business card. We work only with the digital online profile which we use to present you with your photos and personal details (age, size, eye and hair colour, etc..)  on the internet to our customers in fashion and advertising, who need a password to access your details. Of course, only registered customers and clients have access to these details. The annual administration fee, incl. online profile/booking card, is just EUR 120.00 (see also general terms and conditions - sample contract)

Does the model agency get commission from me?
No. If the event of a successful placement, the model does not pay a separate booking fee, meaning that the full booking payment is paid to the model.

How much can I earn?
We cannot give you a precise sum because earnings vary, and are dependent on many factors, e.g. whether you are booked for promotional shots, photos or film recordings, how long the photos take, how widely the advertisement will be broadcast, and many other things.

When will I receive my first assignment?
That varies a lot. Some models get a booking almost as soon as they become a model. For others, it may take a while depending what model types are in demand at that particular time. The frequency of bookings and assignments varies, and is determined only by the clients.

Do I have to pay my own travel costs to the assignment?
No. The customer pays the travel costs. The customer also pays other expenses.

How can I get a booking?
The customer can book me via my online profile/booking card. Interested companies and clients can find my face via my online profile/booking card. As soon as we receive a booking request, we will contact you immediately by e-mail or telephone to discuss the assignment in detail.

Are there any costs associated with the application and assessment?
No. There is no charge for the application and assessment of your details.

How do I update my details?
You will receive a personal password/login, so it couldn't be easier to update your photos and details at any time.

How do I get placed, and do I need my own photos?
You are presented to our customers in advertising, fashion and film via the online profile/booking card. You can put yourself forward using good quality private photos, professional photos taken by an agency, or portfolio photos.

Why is there an annual administration fee of EUR 140?
Because we incur high placement costs and costs for maintaining the online profile of new models in particular, we are unable to pay for everything up front. All the models have a self-employment contract, and can turn down any assignment without specifying reasons. Furthermore, we cannot judge how reliable and flexible the model will be if a booking is received. Neither can we influence the frequency of placements and bookings, because it is the client who makes that decision. However, we select applicants according to their realistic chances of being placed, and try to place every model as much as possible, because each positive placement also increases our turnover/profits.

What can I get for an annual administrative fee of € 140?
