However, it means a lot to your credits and presence to appear in the top magazines and possibly be on the covers. All the big name stars in the Industry have dozens and dozens of magazine credits to their name, this is how they build their stature as a Star. Time and time again we have notified various agencies that we wanted a specific model and they either don’t respond at all or get back to us two weeks after the initial contact.

You still need the magazine and internet presence to promote your movies and your dance gigs and we are pretty sure you always need good photos of yourself. Magazine sales are down due to the internet so model fees are being negotiated with either monetary compensation or content trade for your websites. It’s your choice which of the options you thinks benefits you more.

We have recently experienced models complaining that they have never been in a magazine and I can only surmise that the agents don’t bother telling the models about the jobs because they would rather book them out on movie sets for scenes as hardcore scenes pay much more than glamour shoots. If you are sitting around wondering why you aren’t getting magazine shoots, this could be the problem.

We invite you to personally contact our studio for magazine layout work. This is a safe and friendly environment and we have been in the industry for 26 years.

The pay varies depending on the magazine you are being submitted for or as stated you can pose in exchange for your website usage. You are here for a period of no longer than 2.5 hours including make-up.

If you are sitting around looking for work submit your photos… Front and back, head to knees, with contact information. We are especially interested in new models and or models that have not shot for a particular magazine in the last year. We will submit your photos to the editors for approval and we will get back to you within a week if you are approved. You will leave the day of the shoot with check in hand. No waiting two weeks for your money.
