Pictures should be minimum 4.5 inches wide by 4.5 inches high. Pictures should be saved in 72dpi (dots or pixels per inch). Do not send .gif, .tif, html, bitmap (.bmp) or Photodeluxe (.pdd) files. Please do not send "zip" files. If sending more than 5 different pictures, send them in multiple emails.
Along with email pictures talent must include a resume in Microsoft Word format only. All pictures sent in these formats or any format other than .jpeg or .jpg will be rejected and deleted. If sending more than 5 different pictures, send them in multiple emails. Please include in your email: Hair and eye color, Height, weight and body measurements, shoe size. Please use feet and inches in measurements.
- If talents wish to mail pictures or do not have access to a scanner, they may mail application in with pictures and MSWord or.txt formatted resume on CD or DVD to LOWRYS ONLINE P.O. Box 101914 – 00101, Jamia Shopping Mall, Nairobi-Kenya.
- Talents do not need to send a portfolio yet. If LOWRYS ONLINE agrees to represent you the agency will work closely with you to build your portfolio. Of course, if talents already have one, they are welcome to send copies of their photos.
- If LOWRYS ONLINE Talent Managers believe the models look is marketable they will return a message via email or phone within 2 weeks indicating Agency interest. If you do not receive a response within 2 weeks, please consider this non-response a statement of non-interest at this time.
- If LOWRYS ONLINE Talent Managers indicate interest, via email or phone, they will request that talents print out the Model & Talent Agency application, fill it out and send it to the agency. This application must be accompanied by 10-20 copies total of several pictures or comp cards and a resume. Remember: Total resumes: 20, total Pictures: 20. Do NOT submit original pictures. LOWRYS ONLINE will not return original pictures and they will not be used for castings. The resume must not have model/actor‚s home address or phone number, or any other agency name. Talents must type "LOWRYS ONLINE Model & Talent Agency" on the top of the Resume.
Please note: we will not return these photos. Also: if we do not respond to you within 30 days of your email, this indicates we cannot represent your look at this time. Please do not call or email and ask if we received your pictures. Due to the busy nature of an agency, this is the only acceptable procedure
Advice on Amateur Photographs
The following photographs are unacceptable:
- Blurry
- Dark
- Overexposed
- Excessive makeup
- Too far away (too much space above and below models body).
- Too close (distorted model face or body)
- Bundled up in thick winter clothing
- Baggy clothing
- Standing with boyfriend/girlfriend/gathering of family/friends.
LOWRYS ONLINE cannot appropriately evaluate a model’s potential with these types of photographs. Remember, these pictures are for the buyer, so that they can SEE you.
The following photographs are acceptable:
- Clear facial features
- Little to no makeup if amateur
- Head to foot
- Head to waist
- Head and chest
- Head and shoulders
- Profile face
- Profile body
Clothing includes: Sporty, casual, swimsuit, formal, clubwear etc.
Remember to always include your basic measurements with your photos. If you are female your measurements must include your age, height, bust, waist, hips, hair color and eye color. If you are male your measurements must include your height, chest, waist, inseam, hair color and eye color.You should send at least one clear head shot and one clear body shot. Your head shot should clearly show your entire face, and your body shot should give us a good idea of your build and body type. We suggest that women wear a swimsuit and men a swimsuit or boxer shorts. Without appropriate photographs LOWRYS ONLINE will have difficulty helping models find any assignments beyond promotional modeling. If models have higher aspirations, they need professional pictures.
Where to Send Pictures:
Email the same to talent@lowrysonline.com Your pictures must be sent in ".jpeg" format only. Do not send bitmap (.bmp), .gif, .art, .tif, or Photodeluxe (.pdd) files. Do not send MS Word picture files. Please do not send "zip" files. If sending more than 5 different pictures, send them in multiple emails. If you are on AOL or any other email service that 'zips' pictures before sending, send only ONE EMAIL PICTURE AT A TIME!
Agency Acceptance:
If Lowrys Online Talent Managers like a model’s look, they’ll contact the model in under 30 days. If a model is not contacted in 30 days it means that the model’s look is not suitable for the Lowrys Online agency at this time. This means Lowrys Online may have several models represented by the agency that already have a similar look or that, based on experience, the agency does not see a need for a particular look. Please note, Lowrys Online will not respond to phone calls regarding whether a model’s pictures have arrived. Due to the high volume of work, agency staff do not have time to respond to these calls. If a model’s package has arrived it will be filed. If it hasn't it will be returned by the post office.
For prospective fashion models:
If an agent at Lowrys Online is interested in you, they will most definitely contact you. Therefore, please remember to include your contact information including your email address, phone number or address. Make sure that your contact information is on each and every picture you send in the event that your pictures become separated. Please do not call or email to inquire about the status of your submission. If there is interest, we will contact you quickly. Please do not inquire as to WHY the agency is not interested in your look at this time. The agency makes its decisions based on marketplace demands. Lack of interest does not indicate that talent are lacking in attractiveness. Lack of interest merely means that Lowrys Online does not see your look or resume as a profitable investment at this time.
If there is no interest, you will not hear back from Lowrys Online. If Lowrys Online is not interested in you, do not be discouraged. There are many good agencies, and every agency is looking for something different. It may be that your look was not right for us at the time of your submission.
