Choosing the correct client, date and title when uploading a new work
Step 1: Choose a client
Type the name of the client and choose from the list that appears as you type. (ie. i-D Online)
The client should reflect the publication or brand that commissioned the work
Some brands have separate online/print or beauty/women’s/men’s pages
If the brand can not be found in the provided options, you can use a “Various” client by typing Various. If using a various client, include the name of the magazine or brand in the title section of the basic info later.
If the work was a test shoot, unpublished or personal work, select the client “Portrait” and categorize the work as Other, not editorial.
Step 2: Categorize the work by choosing a work type
Use the provided drop down to choose whether the work is an editorial, cover, campaign, lookbook, advertorial, social media, show or other.
Advertising typically has a brand logo on the images and is used for print and digital marketing.
Lookbooks are typically used to show an entire collection and do not feature brand logos on the images.
Editorials and Magazine covers are uploaded as separate entries. If choosing magazine cover, make sure the other covers are not in a separate database entry already.
Shows are typically added by the Models.com team to ensure accurate and complete credits. If you are adding a show, we require at least 5 other models to be credited.
Step 3: Choose a date
The date should reflect the month/issue that the images were published.
Step 4: Add the title of the work
If it is in editorial, this title should reflect the name of the story the magazine/online platform used. (Example: New Spring Beauty)
If it is an advertising campaign, you can add the specific name of the collection or season to make the title more specific.
If the photographer or brand does not have a database page on Models.com, add their name to the Title of the work (ie. Editorial Name photographed by John Doe)
