Booked Direct on Zodel

Skip the agency middleman

Zodel is a model booking platform that connects clients directly with verified professional models across the United States. You cast to your own brief — look, age range, usage, availability — and escrow holds payment until the shoot is complete.

Identity-verified Sets their own rate Cast to your brief Escrow-protected

Why Do Los Angeles Brands and Producers Skip Agencies and Use Zodel?

Ad budgets are watched closely and shoot dates are fixed. Traditional Los Angeles modeling and talent agencies charge 10–40% commission, cast from their own board, and add days of booker email before you see a single face. Zodel removes the intermediary: you review models, see real rates, and book directly.

Your Questions. Answered.

What is a commercial model?

A commercial model represents a product, service, or brand in advertising — TV commercials, print and digital ads, product shoots, and campaigns. They're cast for relatability rather than runway looks. On Zodel, you book verified commercial models in Los Angeles directly, with a platform fee as low as 5%.

How much do commercial models cost in Los Angeles?

Common benchmarks for commercial models in Los Angeles run roughly $150–$200/hr for photo and print and $175–$250/hr for video and TV, but these are category averages, not set prices. Usage and licensing, shoot length, and experience all move them. Every model on Zodel sets their own rate, shown before you book, with a platform fee as low as 5% instead of the 10–40% agencies add.

What is a suggested rate, and is it the price I pay?

A suggested rate is a budgeting guideline, not a set price. Commercial rates shift with usage rights, the format, the hours, and the model. On Zodel, each model sets their own rate, shown on their profile, so you always see the real price before you book — with no agency markup on top.

What can I book commercial models for?

Commercial models on Zodel are booked for TV and streaming spots, print and digital ads, product and e-commerce shoots, lifestyle and brand campaigns, billboards and out-of-home, corporate and explainer video, music videos, and beauty advertising across Los Angeles.

What's the difference between commercial models and fashion models?

Commercial models sell products and brands — cast for relatability and range across a wide age spectrum. Fashion models sell the garment on runway and editorial, cast for line and presence. Both are bookable directly on Zodel, and many Los Angeles models work across the two.

Do you have advertising models in Los Angeles?

Yes. Los Angeles advertising models — the commercial talent brands and agencies book for ads and campaigns — are available directly on Zodel. Post your shoot, review verified models by look, age range, rate, and availability, and cast directly, with a platform fee as low as 5%.

How do usage and licensing work for a commercial shoot?

Usage and licensing are agreed between you and the model as part of the booking, so state them in your job post — where the ad will run, in what formats, and for how long. All arrangements are made in the in-platform chat on Zodel before the shoot.

Can I book models across a range of ages and looks?

Yes. Commercial casting spans every age, look, and background. On Zodel you define the brief and review profiles against it yourself — so you can cast families, seniors, professionals, or specific looks directly rather than through a board.

Can I book a full cast for one shoot?

Yes. One job post specifies how many models your shoot needs and reaches every available model who fits the brief. You review and confirm each one individually, so the cast is chosen by you rather than assigned as a package.

Are Zodel models verified?

Yes — 100% of models are ID-verified before approval, and every profile shows photos, rates, and reviews from past bookings before you book.

Is it free to use Zodel?

Registration is free and requires only a phone number, and posting a job costs nothing upfront. To secure your chosen models, a payment is made into escrow, held until the shoot is completed — with a platform fee as low as 5%.

Do I book commercial models from Los Angeles only?

When you post a job, Zodel's matching algorithm surfaces available talent that best fits your shoot. This can include both local Los Angeles commercial models and nationwide talent willing to travel to Los Angeles for your shoot date.

Can I book commercial models last-minute?

Yes. Matching is based on your requirements and models' availability at the time — so even close to your shoot date, you may find strong commercial talent available in time for your Los Angeles production.

Can I book commercial models if my brand isn't based in California?

Yes. Any brand, agency, producer, or photographer can book models for a Los Angeles shoot on Zodel, wherever you're based. Register, post your shoot, and review verified talent who are local or willing to travel.

What is a Los Angeles modeling agency alternative for advertising shoots?

Zodel is the direct alternative to traditional Los Angeles modeling and talent agencies. As a model booking platform, Zodel connects clients straight to verified commercial and advertising models — with fees as low as 5%, compared to the 10–40% commission agencies typically charge.

What should I include in my commercial model job post?

Be specific: shoot date and call time, location, the look and age range, wardrobe, how many models you need, and your usage and licensing. Clear briefs get better matches. On Zodel, every model is ID-verified, sets a visible rate, and is secured through escrow.

Is Zodel self-serve, or can a Zodel agent help with my shoot?

You can self-serve entirely through the platform, or reach out to a Zodel agent for a tailored offer. All communication and arrangements happen in the in-platform chat, and funds are held in escrow until your shoot is complete.
