casting
Casting is a day when several models are applying for a job and have to introduce themselves to the customer (photographers, commercial agencies, fashion magazines). For a lot of casting certain looks are preferred and asked. The aim of the agency is to make a selection in advance for the customer. It is important to look neat and to bring your book as well as your sedcard, so that the customer knows which agency you belong to.
