how do I get assignments?
how do I get assignments?
a few things are taken into consideration before assigning models to bookings:
clients select their top 3 models in a model selection process.
in model selection, clients can see the entire model directory for one location. models are surfaced by most available to least available. clients also can filter models based on traits.our scheduling team assesses if the model's availability lines up with our studio, photographer, and (sometimes) other provider availability.
this is also where allergies, skills, or limitations communicated to us may be taken into consideration. they will assign the providers that meet the clients needs and can get the shoot on the calendar the quickest. (please still review shoot goals to ensure you are comfortable before accepting.)
if you have not received an assignment, it can just be a matter of time since assignments are given based on client demand.

what am I supposed to wear or bring to shoots?
models should always arrive in appearance standards to every shoot. this includes the clean bare nail standard.
bringing extra clothing items, makeup, and hair styling items is also always a good idea. each studio has model kits available with basic items to help with any troubleshooting.
if a shoot has a hair + makeup artist, please wear or bring standard wardrobe with you and come with clean unstyled hair and a clean bare face (no makeup).
what if I look different than my last test shoot?

people change! and we want you, to do you.
if you got a new hair do, new tattoo, or anything else that happens in life that affects your outer appearance, email collective@soona.co and we will let you know the best way to get your headshots updated.
we generally recommend new test shoots be taken every 6 months. kids under the age of 5 should likely have new headshots taken every 3-6 months.
