How to apply: tutorials for models

Emporio Models Marrakech

Male model in a metro station – Emporio Models Marrakech

Before you apply, follow our two step-by-step tutorials, one for girls and one for boys. They show every photo and video our scouts ask for, with a real example of each angle. Follow them and your application will have everything we need to review your profile.

Before you start: the rules

Both tutorials start with the same checklist.

  • Do: use natural light, stand straight or pose naturally, use a clean background, and hold the camera at eye or chest level.
  • Don’t: wear heavy make-up or jewellery, edit or filter the photos, exaggerate your poses, or leave objects and distractions in the frame.

Tutorial for girls

Good examples

Natural light, a plain background, no filters: this is the look we want.
