Modeling work in Murcia
Murcia is the capital of the region of the same name in south-eastern Spain. Our catalogue lists two agencies here. Monroe Models has operated in the city since 1995, with an office on Calle Platería in the heart of the old town. On its website the agency says it represents models for fashion, catwalk, advertising, photo, video and event work, and its application form is in the section for aspiring models.
CIAO Models has a longer list of boards: besides the main women's and men's boards, it has new faces, curve, older models (a board called Timeless), kids, talent and sport. In a city of this size the work is mostly commercial, so clean digitals and experience in front of the camera will help.
The nearest markets and how to get there
- Valencia – two catalogue agencies, Carmen Duran Model Agency and 5.0 Models Management.
- Madrid – 19 catalogue agencies and Mercedes-Benz Fashion Week Madrid, held twice a year.
- Barcelona – 43 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 agencies fit; 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. A genuine agency does not charge for applying or for a casting; being asked to pay for registration or a shoot is a sign of a modeling scam.
- Contracts, tax and the rules for minors are covered in the guide Modeling agencies in Spain.
