Who should apply?
Model Society is looking for Models, Photographers and Artists who’s portfolios express a strong fine art bias.
We are looking for portfolios and images that stand on their own as finished works art. Although we are fans of all types of art, only portfolios that focus on models & humanity as fine art will be considered. We welcome both professionals & amateur or hobbyist artists, as long as our vision coincides :)MODEL PORTFOLIOS - Models (male & female) are admitted based on expressive & artistic qualities... not based on looks or 'body type'. Model portfolios should have a strong focus on fine art images. (All models must be 18 or older)
PHOTOGRAPHER & ARTIST PORTFOLIOS - We are looking for creatives who have achieved a personal level of excellence in their craft and are passionate about producing images that stand on their own as finished works of art.
FOR ALL PORTFOLIOS - We consider lighting, backgrounds and overall level of polish and execution as important factors when considering applications.
OTHER REQUIREMENTS -
-- We require at least 10 images of your work, & in order to properly review your portfolio, we require JPGs that are are at least 780px on the longest side.
-- Please help us approve your profile by providing accurate information.
-- It is very helpful to provide at least one good external link that shows your work as a portfolio in a gallery type setting. Personal webpages, ModelMayhem, OMP, Deviant Art, etc, work well for this. Please link to relevant work :)
-- While we encourage small logos & watermarks, please keep in mind that this site is an Art Gallery, so ‘business cards or info graphics’, & other non artistic graphics will not be considered. Before/After style images are not acceptable & will not be considered. -
--Mirror/Phone selfies do not qualify as art. Artistic self portraits are accepted if they meet our fine art criteria. (Think camera, tripod, & lighting/background)

Why was my application not accepted?
There are a few main reasons. Most of which are related to genre, because we only accept images of human subjects. Also, our commitment to excellence and highly artistic perspectives is what separates us from other modeling websites.
Some of your images do not portray human subjects.
We love all types of photography and art, and enjoy seeing many examples of your work, but we only post images of human subjects at Model Society.You may have submitted images in styles other than what we represent at Model Society.
Model Society has a very strong fine art bias. Our intention is to create a space where every image might appear in an art gallery or populate the pages of a beautiful coffee table book. It's not that we think fine art is "better" that other styles, it's just what we are passionate about :)Some of the images you submitted might not represent your best work.
Our standards for presentation (lighting, backgrounds and overall polish) are very high. Please ensure that the images you submit to Model Society represent your best and most artistic work. We constantly challenge and encourage each other to bring our very best work.Our commitment to excellence and highly artistic perspectives are what separates us from other modeling websites. We are challenging and encouraging each other to bring our very best. Together we are changing the way the world experiences human beauty.
