A manifesto for a modeling agency owned and operated by the people whose faces it represents.

Landing page captured for the 2026-08-28 issue.

Field notes

The homepage models a cooperative agency through a draggable $10,000 booking example, contrasting a conventional $6,000 model / $4,000 agency split with a proposed $9,000 model / $1,000 operations split. Its structure rests on four visible principles: model-owned shares, model-set rates, retained image rights, and open books showing fees and deductions. The page identifies itself as a proposal rather than an operating agency, stating plainly that there is no agency yet.
