Scouting guide

Understand scouting before you respond.

A good first contact helps you find your bearings. This page shows you what to look out for and which application steps make sense.

01

What model scouts do

Model scouts discover new faces and connect them with agencies or suitable jobs.

A scout may approach you in everyday life or find you on Instagram. What matters is that they are open about who they are scouting for and in which market.

02

Red flags with scouts

A trustworthy scout will never ask for nude photos, money, an immediate signature or private meetings in secluded places.

If something feels uncomfortable, pressuring or unclear, take it as a signal to step back first and ask questions.

03

Polas – the essentials

Polas are natural photos without heavy makeup, without styling and without clothing that hides your figure.

They don’t have to be professional. What matters is daylight, a calm background and an honest view of your face, body and proportions.
