Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about bookings, usage, and talent policies answered for clients and collaborators.

We recommend booking international talent at least 8–12 weeks in advance to allow for visa processing, travel, and scheduling. For multi-talent campaigns or complex shoots, 16 weeks is preferred. Last-minute bookings are possible but may incur extra fees and limited availability.
If talent falls ill, a medical certificate is required. We will provide a replacement if available, or reschedule within 30 days at the original rate without additional booking fees. Any incurred costs (crew, location, catering) remain the client’s responsibility.
Yes. Exclusivity agreements are available for specific categories or full exclusivity. Rates vary from 200–500% higher depending on talent profile and exclusivity scope. Minimum commitment periods range from 6 months to 2 years.
Social media usage is licensed separately from booking fees. Organic posts typically add 25–50% of the booking fee; paid advertising may add 100–200%. Usage is platform- and duration-specific. Talent reposting requires separate negotiation.
Bookings include professional indemnity insurance up to $2M USD. International bookings include travel insurance covering medical emergencies, trip cancellation, and equipment loss. Additional coverage for high-value items must be arranged separately.
Physical requirements can be specified for styling or fit (height, measurements, shoe size). All requests must be relevant and non-discriminatory. Talent measurements are provided during selection; unreasonable requests are not accommodated.
Talent must approve any significant retouching that alters body or facial features. Standard color and lighting corrections do not require approval. Agency may request removal of images misrepresenting talent or harming their professional reputation.
