Modeling work in Alicante
Alicante is a Mediterranean city in the Valencia region, and in our catalogue it is represented by Kara Models. The agency is a member of AMAE, the Spanish association of models and agencies. Its website has women's, men's, new faces, senior, kids and talent boards, so it works with people of all ages.
On its website the agency says it is always looking for new faces, and you can apply through a form. In a city of this size the work is mostly commercial: advertising, catalogue and e-commerce shoots.
The nearest markets and how to get there
- Murcia – two catalogue agencies, Monroe Models and CIAO Models.
- Valencia – four catalogue agencies.
- Madrid – 31 catalogue agencies and Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid, held twice a year.
- Barcelona – 49 catalogue agencies, the seat of the AMAE association and Spain's second fashion week, 080 Barcelona Fashion.
How to get started
- Take simple digitals in daylight and write down accurate measurements.
- For advertising and shoots in the region, the local agency fits; for fashion work, pick a few agencies in Madrid or Barcelona and only travel once you have been invited to meet.
- Apply through each agency's official channels. Spanish law does not stop agencies charging applicants, so before paying for photos, courses or registration, check on the agency's profile whether it charges and how much, and compare it with others. Walk away if you are pressed to pay or sign on the spot; more warning signs are in the glossary entry modeling scams.
- Contracts, tax and the rules for minors are covered in the guide Modeling agencies in Spain.
