YOUR MODEL APPLICATION

The easiest way is to fill out the MODEL APPLICATION. If you’re what we’re looking for, we’ll email you to begin the next steps of the process.

There are several other ways you can model for STACKED, these included:

  • Scouting: We scout talent exclusively through our official platforms, including Twitter, Instagram, and more. Look out for our official accounts for legitimate opportunities. @STACKEDmag
  • Agency Bookings: Our agency partnerships offer avenues for aspiring models. Collaborations are arranged through recognised agencies.
  • Casting Notices: Authentic casting notices are only posted on our official platforms. Interested applicants are requested to submit applications through designated forms.
  • Photographer Submissions: Photographers can contribute through our website or via email. Detailed information is available in our photographer FAQs.
  • Verification: If you’re contacted by anyone claiming to be us, an official partner or agency, please validate their claims by emailing Info@STACKEDmag.com.

Include at least 3 images that best represent you. For your application, unedited pics work best – shot by you, a friend, partner, or family member. Natural or ring light, to topless or implied nude. If you have professional shots showcasing your skills you can share those too. We might ask for extra pics at our discretion. Avoid filters and heavy edits. Keep it natural. You might be asked for an in-person casting.

If you don’t resemble your application pics, we reserve the right to decline the shoot without compensation.

Absolutely not. We’re delighted to welcome models at all stages of their journey, whether you’re new to the field or have prior experience. Our enthusiasm extends to collaborating with and nurturing fresh, up-and-coming talents.

GETTING PAID

Payment discussions happen before booking, with no deviations from the agreed shoot terms. It’s all laid out in the model agreement. Payment within the payment period (within 30 days of the receipt of a valid invoice), provided all ID, invoices, bank info, and contracts are squared away and we have managed to obtain the contacted number of usable sets. We aim to pay early than this though.

If you have been booked directly we need a simple invoice including:

  • Your full name
  • Address
  • Date of Invoice
  • Date of Shoot
  • Valid bank details

To facilitate prompt payment, kindly send your invoice to accounts@STACKEDmag.com  

If booked via an agency, they will invoice on your behalf and their terms apply.

Where's the stuff?

CONTENT USAGE

As this is a paid shoot, you will only receive images or video at our discretion.

You will be provided with 1 retouched image per photoset.

You can use non topless images on your social media provided we are tagged (insta/website) and our logo is not removed.

We will create 1 trailer video per applicable set, you can use this on social media provided we are tagged and our logo is not removed.

You are welcome to use any additional images or video that we have posted on our official news page/social media.

No. Please keep in mind that STACKED owns the copyright to any content that we have shot. Reposting or selling STACKED content on other sites is not only a violation of our Terms of Service, but copyright infringement. 

What about...?

EVERYTHING ELSE

Regrettably, complimentary copies of the magazine will not be provided.

If you wish to have your content removed from our online platforms, it’s essential to understand the intricacies involved. Each model booking entails expenses beyond the booking fee, encompassing staff fees, location costs, agency charges, hosting expenses, makeup artist and styling fees, photography, and post-production costs. Given this comprehensive structure, once content creation is complete and payment is made, removal becomes a complex process.

Kindly ensure you are well-informed about these factors before committing to a shoot. While we can accommodate changes to personal information on our own websites or social media, the process of removing content once published is considerably challenging. Please be aware that we cannot assume responsibility for any content leaked or stolen from image sets.

Given the ever-evolving landscape of the internet, we must be forthright that ensuring absolute content security behind our paywall is challenging. It’s vital to comprehend this dynamic before engaging with us or any other online entities. If you come across instances of leaked content, kindly forward the links to our legal team at legal@STACKEDmag.com. They will diligently work to address these concerns and make every effort to have the content removed. However, it’s important to note that some platforms might not comply with such requests.

If these considerations raise concerns, we earnestly recommend evaluating whether working with us aligns with your preferences and expectations. Your peace of mind is paramount in our collaborative efforts.
