Comprehensive Collection Guides
International Development Markets
International Development Markets are often the first step for new faces, as agencies send models abroad to fast-track their growth and build stronger portfolios quickly. This guide explains why these markets are so important, what agencies expect, and how development works — along with practical details on visas, contracts, commissions, taxes, accommodations, and daily life abroad.
Covering key development hubs such as Asia, Australia, Mexico, South Africa, Turkey, and Greece, this resource gives models a clear understanding of how international placements accelerate development, create new opportunities, and prepare them for long-term success.
Asia
The Asian Market Guide is the most detailed and expansive resource available for models interested in working across multiple Asian markets. Unlike single-country overviews, this guide covers every major country in Asia where modeling opportunities exist, from Tokyo and Seoul to Bangkok, Shanghai, Hong Kong, Taipei, Singapore, and beyond.
