There are no upfront fees for representation. For talent in our development division, there is a shared investment between the agency and the talent for initial training sessions. This ensures both parties are committed to success.

If signed on, you’ll be invited into the agency for orientation where you’ll receive a tour of our downtown Chicago office followed by a test photo shoot session with our photography team. Then we sit down to discuss how we'll develop a personalized strategy to connect you with the right opportunities.
