FAQs

  • Does Model Made do open calls?

    Yes, we host bi-weekly open calls in Vancouver and we’re always down to meet fresh faces. No fees, no pressure - just show up and be respectful.

  • What do I wear to an open call?

    Keep it clean and simple. Fitted black outfit? Perfect. No makeup. Hair natural. Just your raw self. Bring heels if you’re comfortable, or black or white kicks. Under 19? Bring a parent or guardian.

  • What if I do not have experience?

    No sweat! Model Made provides training, development and management. We work with new models from the ground up for local work and international placement.

  • What does a Boutique Agency mean?

    It means we keep our roster sharp, focused, and personal. You’re not a number - you’re a name, a brand, and a future. We stay hands-on so you get guidance that’s real, not recycled.

  • Do I need a portfolio to submit?

    No. All we need are digitals to start - natural, clear shots of you being you. Hit that ‘Get Scouted’ button and take it from there. If there’s a fit, we’ll style and shape your portfolio together.

    For professional models or direct, submit your: portfolio/publications, intro video and digitals.

  • Is the modelling industry competitive?

    Extremely. It’s global. It’s fast. It’s ever-changing. But we’ve got the tools and insight to help you adapt, evolve, and thrive - if you're ready to work hard and stand out.

  • Is there a criteria Model Made is looking for?

    We’re scouting people, not clones. All shapes, sizes, ethnicities, identities, and orientations are welcome. That said - diversity doesn’t cancel out competition. Be ready to bring the energy and the edge.

  • What are digitals?

    Your no-filter first impression. Just clean photos (taken on your phone or camera) showing your face, body, and presence in natural light. Hair down, makeup-free, and real. Keep it raw, keep it you.

  • Does Model Made guarantee work?

    We wish! But no one can. We pitch you to casting directors - we don’t get the final say. We open the doors, but you’ve got to walk through and inspire the room.

  • Do I have to pay if I get signed?

    Model Made advances the development cost for new models. This includes training and portfolio testing. However, we do our best to connect a fresh face with photographers for creative shoots. We earn our money back when our models work paid assignments. International placements can be different, but we’ll keep it 100% transparent.

  • How flexible do I need to be as a Model?

    Pretty flexible. Be ready to move fast, cancel things, and work weekdays/weekends. The more available you are, the more confident we are to push you.

  • Will I get signed if I do the workshop?

    No promises. Our ModelMadeMe workshops are open to the public. If you are curious about modelling then give it a shot. But if our booking team spots something special in you, you’ll hear from us. Loud and clear.
