Zorya Models: Frequently Asked Questions
1. Is Zorya Models a Modelling Agency? 🚀
No, Zorya Models is NOT a traditional modelling or mother agency. We operate as an independent Scouting and Placement Agency. Our primary goal is to discover new faces with great potential and strategically place them with reputable, professionally verified agencies in the industry.
2. Does It Cost Anything to Apply or Be Scouted? 💰
No, there is no upfront cost whatsoever. If anyone asks you to pay a fee just to be a model or to apply, it is almost certainly a scam. We never charge The Talent for scouting or submission services.
3. How Does Zorya Models Get Paid?
Our fee is paid only by the agency that successfully signs you. This fee is a negotiated Finder's Fee—usually a portion of your earnings (typically 10–15%) for the first paid booking or first year. This payment is agreed upon between Zorya Models and the signing agency. The Talent is never responsible for paying this fee.
4. Who Can Apply? (Age and Requirements) 📏
The minimum age to apply is 16. Anyone aged 16 and over is welcome to apply. We scout models from all backgrounds, ethnicities, body types, and identities.
Please note: All applicants under 18 must have a parent or legal guardian submit the application or provide written consent.
5. Do I Need Professional Photos? 📸
No. Please do not send professional, edited photos. Agencies want to see your natural look. Just send natural, unfiltered photos taken in good lighting—specifically:
- A headshot (front-facing)
- A side profile
- A full-length photo
No makeup, no filters, and no sunglasses.
