A fairer, more transparent modeling industry starts with better information.
Get started →Models.co exists to solve practical problems working models face around the world: contracts they cannot understand, payments they cannot track, negotiations they were never taught to conduct, unfamiliar tax systems, unsafe situations, opaque agency relationships, and rapidly changing rights around their own image.
Learn how agency, booking, licensing, exclusivity, termination, commission, expense, and image-use clauses work. Translate complicated agreements into understandable language and know which questions to ask before agreeing.
Track bookings, agreed fees, agency commissions, expenses, invoices, and payments. Understand where your money goes and recognize when a payment is late or a deduction needs explanation.
Understand day rates, usage, buyouts, renewals, overtime, travel, cancellation fees, and licensing. Practice asking better questions, making counteroffers, and declining terms that do not work for you.
Learn how to budget around irregular income, organize expenses, prepare for taxes, build emergency savings, and plan beyond the next booking. Country-specific education can help identify when professional tax advice is needed.
Learn to identify scams and unsafe situations, understand professional boundaries and consent, document incidents, find independent support, and locate appropriate legal or emergency resources.
Learn how agencies work, what commissions and fees mean, what to examine in representation agreements, how to evaluate opportunities, and how to recognize practices that deserve closer scrutiny.
Understand castings, portfolios, call sheets, professional communication, editorial versus commercial work, career development, networking, reputation, and the choices involved in building a sustainable career.
Access evidence-based education around nutrition, body image, sleep, recovery, mental wellbeing, workplace boundaries, and finding qualified help. A sustainable career should never require sacrificing health.
Navigate the questions created by international work: visas, authorization, local rules, insurance, taxes, housing, travel expenses, contracts, and where to find authoritative local information.
Understand image licensing, digital replicas, body scans, AI clauses, synthetic likenesses, usage extensions, unauthorized use, and the emerging questions around how a model's face and body can be reproduced digitally.
Track bookings, commissions, deductions, payments and money still outstanding.
