SPECIALIST TERMS
Of course, a lot of beautiful terms are used within the modeling world. But what do they mean? This is an explanation list for beginners, in alphabetical order: Booker A booker works for a model agency and places clients in contact with models. Booking For a definitive booking, an appointment will be made between the model and the principal. He/ she wants to work with the model on a certain day, making the model unavailable for other assignments. The booker informs the model about: Call-back If people were pleased with the model at the casting, it is possible that the model has to come back, together with other models. During a call-back, the model earns nothing. Of course, the chance of an assignment being accepted is larger in case of a call-back. Casting A casting is a meeting between a principal and various models. The principal decides which models he chooses after the casting. The model earns nothing at a casting. Database Nowadays, models can also present themselves via the Internet. Galucci has an online database containing all models. With a few pushes of the button, a principal can see what Galucci has to offer and book models directly. Fashion Model A fashion model has the right measurements and looks, which is why he/ she can be put to many uses. A fashion model mostly works in the area of fashion and works abroad a lot. Go-sees Galucci makes an appointment with the principal for the model, during which the model can show his or her portfolio personally. Hair stylist The hair stylist is someone who makes sure your hair is always modeled right. Look-a-like A look-a-like is someone who resembles a famous person, in looks, mimics and acting. Fair Weather Booking This type of booking is only continued if the weather is good. Naturally, this only applies to assignments outdoors. The model will be informed about this in the morning of the shoot by the booker. Option If a principal is not sure yet whether he wants to book a certain model, he puts him/ her down as an option. This means the model is not yet certain of the assignment. This is usually announced definitively one day beforehand. Portfolio A portfolio is a book with which a model presents test photos / tear sheets to clients. As a model, you must make sure that your portfolio is variable and that it represents your strong characteristics. Request A model is invited to a casting on the basis of his/ her portfolio. Set cards Once a model has created a portfolio, set cards can be made. A set card is the model.s business card, only in A5 size. On the front, there is a close-up; the back contains a number of smaller pictures, plus the measurements and name of the model. Special Model This model does not meet the requirements of a fashion model, but does have something .special.. He/she is usually shorter, but does have good charisma. A special model is used a lot in commercials (all except fashion). A special model, too, can get a lot of work, yet usually only nationally.
