Models & Applications

For model talent.

How do I get booked?

Apply through the platform. Approved talent may receive tier placement, weekday booking windows, and promotion to photographers and clients.

Do models get paid?

Selected bookings are paid opportunities coordinated through 360ism. Rates and structure depend on tier, session type, and approval.

Does it cost anything to apply?

No. Applying is free, and models attend group shoots free of charge, by application. There are no portfolio fees or signing costs to be considered for casting.

What do I need to apply?

Recent photos or an Instagram/portfolio link, your basic stats, and your availability. Professional experience is not required – presentation, reliability, and attitude carry the most weight in review.

How does group shoot casting work?

Casting rotates with each themed set – Rain Set, Black Light Set, Swing Set, cosplay, fashion, and glamour themes. Apply once and the team reaches out when a date matches your look and availability.

I am new to modeling. Can I still apply?

Yes. IMG shoots are structured and directed – you are coached through posing on set, and the environment is built for models to grow. Many featured models started with their first shoot here.

Can I bring someone with me?

Yes – each model may bring one escort, who remains in the lounge area during the shoot. Escorts and guests do not shoot or direct.

How are my boundaries handled?

Your boundaries are documented before the shoot and are not negotiable on the floor. Staff is present at every session, and the Code of Conduct applies to everyone on set – no exceptions.

When do I get my photos?

Images are delivered after editing, coordinated through 360ism. Group shoot images come from the participating photographers, credited and shared per the release. Timelines vary by project – your confirmation covers the specifics.

Can I post the images? Who owns them?

Usage follows the release you sign at check-in. By default, models may use images for portfolio and social with credit. Commercial use by any party requires a separate agreement.

How do published features work?

Much of the project work at the studio is produced for published titles. 360ism coordinates submissions, and cast models receive credited features – tearsheets that carry real weight with agencies and brands.

How do I get booked more often?

Complete your application fully, respond quickly, show up on time, and keep it professional on set. Reliable models earn tier placement, repeat bookings, and promotion across the IMG network.

Is there a guide that explains the whole program?

Yes – the Model Booking Program Guide (PDF) walks through the entire system: how bookings flow, level placement from aspiring to headliner, payouts, and the required documentation.

Photographers & Brands

For those booking.

How do photographers book?

Select available model talent, choose a weekday session, and submit booking details through the platform. 360ism confirms availability.

Can brands book campaigns?

Yes. Brands can book model-led product shoots, campaign visuals, and video content through a studio-backed production process.

How much do group shoot slots cost?

Photographer rotation slots typically run $75–$95, and sessions last 1 to 2 hours. Each slot includes timed, fair access to every model on set – see the Group Shoots page for full guidelines.

What is included in a group shoot slot?

A built themed set, professional lighting environments, a staffed floor, and organized rotations with every model cast for the date. Bring your camera – the production is handled.

How is a private booking different?

Private and weekday bookings are one-on-one sessions with the model you choose, scheduled through the platform. Group shoots are multi-photographer events with timed rotations on a themed set.

How do I pay, and when is my booking confirmed?

Payment is made through the platform when you book or RSVP. A booking is confirmed once payment completes and 360ism verifies the details – you will receive confirmation with schedule and location.

What if I need to cancel or reschedule?

Slots are limited and date-specific. Contact 360ism as early as possible – transfers to a future date are handled case by case, and early notice is always in your favor.

Can I request a specific model?

Yes – for private and weekday bookings you select the model directly. For group shoots, the cast is announced per event, so watch the event listing for the lineup.

What can I do with the images I shoot?

Portfolio and social use with model credit is standard under the release signed at check-in. Commercial use, resale, or client work requires a separate license arranged through 360ism.

What are the rules on set?

Rotations are timed and enforced, shooting happens only during your rotation, and staff direction is final. The Code of Conduct applies to everyone – it is what keeps the sessions productive and respectful.

Do I need to bring lighting or equipment?

For group shoots, the sets and lighting environments are built and ready – bring your camera and lenses. For private studio bookings, gear needs are coordinated when the session is scheduled.
