Good to know.

Open the roster, look through the portfolios and send a brief with your preferred cast. We’ll check the dates, scope and terms with the talent before confirming a booking.

LUX is fashion and editorial. LOVE is beauty, lifestyle and commercial. GRIT is sport, movement, outdoor, streetwear and character work. Start with the feeling you want for the shoot. A model can suit more than one world.

Yes. Save models from the roster or their profiles. Your shortlist stays in this browser and can go into a single estimate or brief. We check availability separately.

Yes. Choose the fee estimate on the profile to bring that model into Rates. You can check a shoot date from the estimate or start a brief with the model already selected.

Tell us the brand, concept, shoot date, location, hours and who you’re looking for. Include what you’ll make, where and how long it will run, any exclusivity and your budget. A moodboard or deck helps us see what you see.

Yes. Leave the cast open in your brief and tell us about the product, audience, visual direction and practical requirements. We can suggest people for the work.

We consider interstate and international work subject to availability and travel. Include the location, dates and any travel or accommodation arrangements when you get in touch.

We start with the work and how long the model is needed. The licence accounts for the media, territory, term and any exclusivity. Use Rates to see an itemised estimate for your brief.

The same work and usage start at the same standard rate. MRPD can approve a higher individual fee based on paid work, repeat demand or rates clients have accepted. A specialist fee applies when the brief calls for approved specialist duties. Where several premiums apply, we use the highest applicable rate. You’ll see the reason on the estimate and we’ll confirm the fee before booking.

We confirm fees after reviewing availability, usage, scope and any extras. Some briefs need a tailored quote before we can give you a figure.

A product listing, an organic post, a paid ad and a billboard put the work in different places and in front of different audiences. That placement and reach help determine what the licence costs.

Territory is where the work can appear. Term is how long it can run. Exclusivity can restrict the model’s work for competing brands or categories during the agreed period. Tell us what you need for each.

Yes. Send what you have and mark the details that are provisional. We can talk through the scope before you request a booking.

The fee covers the agreed talent services and rights. Hair and makeup, studio hire, travel and other production costs are arranged and priced separately where needed.

Yes. Send an application for representation. We review submissions and get in touch if we’d like to meet you.

You’ll need to be 18 or older. Have your measurements, availability, experience, goals and any current agency details handy. Share a folder with three to ten recent digitals and any portfolio or social links you want us to see.

Yes. We look at how you come across on camera, what you can bring to a brief and how you approach the work. Include any professional photographs you already have.

We look through your material, availability and goals. If there’s a fit, we’ll arrange a conversation. Accepted models complete their agreement and onboarding before we prepare their profile.

New offers are exclusive. Tell us about any agency agreement you already have. Your signed agreement sets the terms of your representation.

The standard commission is 20% on work covered by the representation agreement. The agreement explains how commission applies to booked and managed work.

The talent team coordinates opportunities and keeps you in the loop. For day-to-day representation, email jacob@mrpd.au.

Yes. Bring brands, campaigns or roles you’d like to pursue. If you have a skill or relevant work that makes the idea a good fit, show us that too.

Represented models can discuss a targeted campaign at the cost of the ads. MRPD charges no separate management fee for this service. We agree the spend and scope with you before launch.

A portfolio shows the range of work you can make. Digitals show how you look today in simple light, with minimal styling. Casting teams use both.

Yes. Ask someone to take the photos in soft natural light against a plain background. Wear simple, fitted clothing, keep makeup minimal and leave the images unfiltered and unretouched.

Start with a neutral headshot from the front, a side profile and a full-length front photo. If you have them, add a three-quarter photo and one with a relaxed expression.

Every one to two months is a useful guide. Take a fresh set sooner if your hair, measurements or appearance changes noticeably.

A comp card puts key photographs and current measurements in one place for casting teams. We prepare it during onboarding for represented models.

There’s no signing fee. Accepted models can use suitable existing photos, arrange their own shoot or book a directed MRPD shoot with agreed edited images for $500 plus GST.

Yes. We can arrange hair and makeup for an additional $300. We’ll discuss and price studio hire and any other extras separately.
