The Modelling Collective

The Modelling Collective is a community focused on high-fashion, high-end commercial modeling, and content creation. We provide curated opportunities, contacts, and insights to professional models or those aspiring to become models, individuals aiming to become agents, scouts, or test photographers for modeling agencies, and people exploring the content creation route to secure modeling jobs and brand deals.

The mentoring services are provided by Olga, who worked as a Senior Agent at System Paris for 10 years. Learn more about her experience here.

Focus Areas (but not limited to):

• Potential analysis: I can help you evaluate your strengths, identify your target market, and determine the best path for your career—whether with an agency, freelancing, or content creation.

• Digitals and intro video: I’ll assist in creating the best possible digitals and videos for submissions. I can connect you with a photographer or guide you to do it yourself.

• Test shoots & book refinement: I’ll help you connect with photographers, organize shoots, and tailor your portfolio to agency needs. I’ll suggest photographers and help refine your portfolio with the right images.

• Social media: I’ll help you rebrand your Instagram to attract agents, casting directors, and scouts. I’ll explain what agents look for and provide a list of accounts to follow and interact with for visibility.

• Finding and signing with agencies: I’ll guide you in identifying the right agencies based on your goals, appearance, experience, and location. I’ll suggest some agencies and, when possible, direct contacts for bookers.

• International placements: I’ll help you plan for signing with agencies abroad, including selecting suitable markets, understanding requirements, and navigating visa needs.

• Agency transition: I’ll guide you through switching agencies, managing termination clauses, debts, and commissions, and resolving issues with current agencies effectively.

• Complete career restart: If you feel stuck, I’ll help you analyze what’s not working and create a detailed plan to restart your career with all the resources you need.

• Agent insights: I’ll give you an inside look at how agents work, including booking systems and client briefs, and things like why an agent would push one model over another for a job.

• Model scouting: I’ll teach you how to scout models, negotiate commissions, and submit them to agencies.
