Moscow modeling agencies

Recently, so many scammers have divorced in the market of modeling agencies in Moscow that we had to create a Black List of Modeling Agencies.

And, of course, there is a need to finally list agencies that you can trust. The fact is that many novice models do not know how to find a modeling agency in Moscow that will help them get a good foreign contract. Although we often mention in our VKontakte public about the best modeling agencies in Moscow, now we have finally decided to compile an official list of the best modeling agencies in the capital, which will be regularly updated by us.

As a team of an actively working parent agency, we at TopModelGroup constantly hear feedback from models about the agencies with which they have collaborated before, so we have the most up-to-date information.

Before you continue reading about Moscow modeling agencies, we want to remind you that we also have a list of the 700 best modeling agencies in Europe and America on our website, as well as what we offer to all girls and boys of model appearance, international management, starting from the presentation of your data to all of the above agencies for obtaining a contract with them, and including the further management of your international career.

In this review, we will consider only good modeling agencies working for international market, that is, sending models to work under contracts abroad, as we do. And only for modeling vacancies - work at shows, shooting for catalogs, advertising and magazines, work in showrooms, etc.

By a good modeling agency, we mean one whose models work successfully and earn money, and also achieve career development, i.e. do not stand still. We also recall that a good agency does not just work for you for free - it helps you earn good money. The agency receives its profit in the form of a percentage of your fees. If they demand money from you for training or creating a portfolio, this is a reason to be wary.

Please note that for the parent agency it does not matter where you currently live. The agencies listed below are located in Moscow, but you may well get an offer from them wherever you are, whether it be cities in Russia, Ukraine, Belarus or any other countries. The main thing is to have model height (from 173), appearance and parameters (maximum 90-61-91, if less, then everything is in order). So, our rating of modeling agencies in Moscow is slightly lower.

Anna fresh is a business woman who, after 10 years of successful work in the modeling business, became the Russian president of her own modeling agency Freshmodels, which was included in the round five the best agencies Moscow according to the new Fashion Collection magazine. Latest project Anna is an acting agency Freshfilms, which is engaged in the artificial selection of performers for television and film projects, including actively cooperating with the Mosfilm film concern.

The own correspondent of "Profgida" met with Anna to talk about the acting profession, about whether it is possible to "get into the cinema" if there is no acting education or "correct" acquaintances behind her.

Professional guide: Anna, your agency is engaged in new organization castings and screen tests for various film industry projects. Please tell us what is important for a young actor now, what types are in demand?

Anna fresh: if I say that talent is primary, I probably won’t surprise anyone with this. Actors of absolutely different types and ages are in demand in cinema today, because our cinema, in fact, is a projection modern life, and in it there is always a great variety of options for the development of events for different people of any social and age strata.

PG: Anna, tell me, what film projects are now "in the Top", what is most often filmed?

A.F.: oh ... I want to take a deep breath, answering this question. Unfortunately, the film industry in Russia is at a rather low level. What is in demand by most of our culturally undeveloped population is removed. Without going into the details of upbringing and pedagogy, I will say that the minds of people today are littered with low-quality serials and low-budget films with an unpretentious plot, thereby hindering the cultural development of our country. Funds for expensive and high-quality projects are not enough, so it's a hard time for our cinema. But we do not despair and try to choose projects, following our inner instinct, while taking care of main goal cinema and theatrical art - high education and creation!

PG: And what projects are interesting for your Moscow agency and for you personally?

A. F .: I organized my own agency because I love cinema, great music and everything related to my own creativity. In this big way, following the dictates of my heart and a new desire to know the film industry from the inside, I'm doing all this. And not at all for the sake of money, but out of love for the new art. And there - judge for yourself!

PG: Anna, please tell us how future actors get into your agency?

A.F.: many of them finish new school acting skills at our Moscow agency, where an experienced teacher can see the so-called nuggets, which subsequently replenish the base of the Freshfilms acting agency. However, this is far from the only way to our agency. We are visited by students, graduates of theater universities or already eminent actors who have found our site on the Russian Internet and were invited by our agents. And, of course, the actors who were lucky enough to act in films from our agency, in turn, advise us to their colleagues. Most often it happens in this way. As for the "Stars", they come to the agency at my personal invitation or on the recommendation of one of our directors we know.

PG: On what conditions do you work with actors, who do you rely on?

A. F.: We try to choose "Exclusive Actors", usually young ones, because the new actor - new profession for life, and the sooner you start, the more time for self-realization. First of all, these are the actors who play the main roles - the so-called heroes and heroines. And when selecting, I pay attention to talent and charisma, even if it sounds rather trivial! As for the working conditions, that is, the actors who have signed exclusive contracts with us, only we have the right to represent them on the film market. Of course, the new actor has his own percentage, and the agency - his own from each film project. These actors are either established or rising Stars. We also work with the rest of the actors on a commission basis.

PG: Could you please tell us how the castings for the movies go, what is going on there?

A.F.: Castings for movies rarely take place live. Most often, after the agency receives the script, our agent himself begins to select possible applicants, based on the Russian list of listed characters and their ages. Photos of the selected actors are sent to the casting director (i.e., the new person responsible for casting in the cinema), and he, in turn, calls the actors he likes to audition for a different director ....

PG: How does the big work of the agency with different directors begin?

AF: formally - from that lofty moment when he approves our actor for the role. But in fact, the agency begins to work with the Russian director already at the time of the constant search for actors for a new project.

PG: So the agency is casting. What's next? Does it protect the interests of the actor when concluding an agreement with the central film studio? In the big process of working on a big film?

A.F.: of course! The agency provides full legal support a new contract and an actor rider. And, of course, always on his side. The progress of the new project is monitored by the Russian manager responsible for it, and in different case If there is a disagreement, contact a good agency lawyer.

PG: As far as we know, actors are divided into those who do not recognize agents in the new principle, and those who are in a huge number of agencies at the same time. This is true?

A.F.: Not really. Rather, those who have their own agent or are in one Moscow agency (as a rule, these are "Stars"), and those who are trying to settle down everywhere. Talented people, even beginners, will never allow themselves to be in different agencies, primarily because of a good upbringing, natural intelligence and decency. They are in a high state to return good for good and be faithful to those people (agents and agencies) who invest in them all their soul, strength and means. And, in the end, there is a special contract for each promising actor of interest to us.

PG: Does the agency conduct any trainings, meetings with its members, or is it just a "base" from which potential "stars" are selected at the right time?

A.F.: Of course, they are. In the training hall of the agency, every two to three weeks meetings are held with recognized "Stars" as part of our large project "Theory of New Success", where artists share their secrets with everyone who wants to and conduct trainings for beginners ....

PG: And finally. What advice would you give to young people who want to act but don't have " Needed Connections in the film industry (other than they have to come to your agency?

A.F.: Well, for starters, get an acting education! Dear Tatyana Balyasnikova, especially for the special site "Profguide".
