How does casting work?
A casting can be the first step in a modeling career. At LB Models, it begins with an invitation that we send if we are interested after reviewing your online application. Whether to attend is entirely your choice. Neither applying nor attending the casting commits you to anything.
What happens at a casting with our agency?
We begin by introducing the agency. Applicants then introduce themselves and share a few basic details. The casting lasts up to 45 minutes and has no more than 12 applicants. It is an information meeting without any obligation and is attended by the applicants themselves, rather than family members or friends.
An invitation does not guarantee that you will work with the agency. If an applicant is under 18 and we are interested in working together, their legal guardian is invited to a subsequent meeting.
Our castings are professional, with an emphasis on quality and individual attention. They take place in a meeting room, with a place at the table for each applicant. Attendance is by invitation and places are limited. Each participant receives detailed information during the meeting and takes away a written copy. Keeping the group small allows us to give everyone individual attention.
What should I wear?
We ask women to wear light make-up and preferably fitted clothing, such as a vest top and leggings. High heels should fit properly and be comfortable to walk in. Men should wear comfortable clothing that is not too loose.
What happens if I am selected?
If the agency selects you, you are added to our catalog. From the first week after signing a representation agreement, we send you job opportunities, castings and extra work by email. Current opportunities follow regularly each week throughout the agreement. We value long-term cooperation that benefits both sides.
We present your photographic portfolio to dozens of clients each month, both existing and new. You may also work with other agencies. You respond only to opportunities that interest you; we do not force you to take work or impose fines or penalties for declining it.
