Need Advice on Meeting with Studios – What Should New Models Watch Out For?

[OnlyDrawer]

Hi everyone,


A little while ago, I started a topic about becoming a model and possibly creating a studio. Since then, I’ve been contacted by two studios in St. Petersburg that invited me to come in for a meeting.


As someone who’s still new to this world, I’d really appreciate some advice from experienced models:

• What should I look out for when meeting or signing with a studio?
• Are there any red flags or things I should ask before agreeing to anything?
• How can I tell if a studio is friendly and respectful toward models?
• What should the commission rates be?

I just want to make sure I’m making smart, safe decisions and not rushing into the wrong kind of deal.


If any experienced models here could share their personal experiences or recommendations, that would really help me a lot.


Thank you so much in advance!

Contracts. No contract dont work there and do actually read the contract.
as for commission rates it entirely depends on what they offer in exchange for the commission they want to take and then it's up to you to decide if what they are providing is worth the commission they want to take.
