FAQ

What do the headers (Available, Unavailable, Booked, Pending) mean?

We try and keep our booking board as up to date as possible. The headings have key words to let buyers know the current status of a model. Interpret them as follows:

Available - Model is available for booking. Contact booking for information.
Unavailable – Model is not available for booking, but not booked (Currently, traveling or we are unable to reach model)
Pending – Model has offers pending and will be booked soon. Offers may still be made.
Booked -Model is booked and NOT available for booking with other buyers.

Due to the high volume of bookings that we handle, sometimes this information is not up to date. Always feel free to email us. WE do our best to update this page frequently throughout the day.

How do I book a model?

How does this site work?

Osterfeld Models agents post new profiles of models as soon as they are available. This means that a model has completed an interview with a managing agent, completed our online application and information verification and submitted recent and clear pictures that we can use to process a model for viewing. Model profiles are posted here for all buyers to view. there is also a built in notification system that will notify our buyers through RSS feed or daily summary emails. To subscribe as a buyer CLICK HERE.

Does Osterfeld Models provide models to everyone?

No. You must apply (by clicking the link above) and be approved by the director of booking for model placement. Osterfeld Models is committed to providing models only to companies that have established reputations where our models will be safe and treated respectfully. We have a certification process that we use to verify companies. The criteria include: Alexa/ Google page ranking verification, industry and model references, initial model payments held in escrow by the company, payment in advance of scouting fees on initial models and certain other restrictions. We keep all of these systems in place to ensure that our models are provided only to safe, established and legitimate companies that use models for approved shoots. If you are new, we definitely look forward to working with you. However, if you do not meet the criteria, it would have to be after you are established. Osterfeld Models does not work with start ups. We do provide models to still photographers. Please inquire HERE.

How do I verify that a company is legitimate?

Any model, client or not, can email BOOKING any time to receive verification that a company is legitimate. The adult industry is a solid, high paying and well run industry but as with any industry, there are some people that will try to mislead you. By emailing us, you can help to protect yourself. However, while we can check out companies that we don’t work with or may know them, we will only certify the companies that we work with as 100% legitimate.

Someone claims they work for Osterfeld Models. How do I verify this?

All Managing agents and internal agents of Osterfeld Models are listed on our contact page at the main site HERE. If someone claims to work for us and is not listed, please emailing BOOKING for verification. We hire new scouts regularly and sometimes the marketing department can be a few days behind as there are a lot of changes. Also, subcontracted scouts working on their own are not listed. However, they are not agents and should only be collecting information to send to us. This can all be done via email. You should not need to meet these people in person, unless directed to do so by someone at Osterfeld Models.
