Shoots connects models with fashion and e-commerce brands for paid photo and video shoots. Brands post shoots, models apply, and Shoots handles the booking and the payment in between.

Yes. Tap Continue as a Guest to browse open shoots and public model profiles. You need an account to apply, post or chat.

No. Shoots is free for models. The pay shown on a shoot is what you receive. Brands pay Shoots, and our fee comes out of what they pay, not out of your pay.

Apply to shoots that suit you on Discover. The brand reviews applicants and may shortlist you, which opens a chat. If they send you an offer, read it and accept it in the app. The booking is confirmed once the brand pays Shoots, and then you see the exact location.

When you sign up, you answer a short survey about your experience. Shoots then suggests a level from that survey, the shoots you complete on Shoots and private ratings from brands, and our team confirms it. Your profile says "not yet confirmed" until we do.

Our team has not checked your details yet. If you change details we already confirmed, such as your height or experience, they go back for review.

Open your profile and tap Manage availability. Mark dates as available or unavailable. Brands searching for a date only see models who marked it available.

Fashion, e-commerce product photos, beauty and skincare, lifestyle, fitness, editorial and commercial campaigns. Swimwear and lingerie shoots are not allowed on Shoots right now.

Complete your business profile, including your logo and Instagram page. Then tap Post a shoot and add the date, time, place, pay, the models you need and how the content will be used. Models see it and can apply straight away.

Your logo shows on every shoot you post, so models can see who they would be working with. You cannot post a shoot without one.

Open your shoot to see who applied. Shortlist the models you like, which opens a chat, then send a booking offer. You can also browse models by date, look, area and specialty and send them an offer directly.

Yes. Credit Shoots (@shootsapp) in the description of every social media post that uses content from the shoot. Shoots may also post the finished content on its own social media.

Our team checks new brands. Until we do, your shoots still appear, but without the green tick that shows a reviewed business.

After you mark a booking as completed, the app asks you to rate the model. Only the Shoots team sees ratings. They help us confirm experience levels.

On paid shoots, the brand pays Shoots, not the model. A 50% deposit confirms the booking, and the balance is due as stated on the shoot. Shoots keeps its fee and pays the model after the shoot.

By InstaPay. Open the booking to see the amount, the InstaPay number and a reference code. Send the money with the reference in the note, then upload a screenshot of the transfer in the booking. Shoots checks it arrived and confirms the booking.

After the shoot is completed and the brand has paid in full. You can follow the status on the booking page under Your payment.

A collab pays the model with the product instead of money, such as the outfit or skincare set from the shoot. The brand gives the product to the model directly and pays Shoots a flat collab fee of EGP 500 to confirm the booking. A shoot can also pay money and a gift together.

Paying through Shoots protects both sides. The model knows the booking is real once the deposit is in, and the brand has a record if anything goes wrong. Keep payment on Shoots for any model you meet here.

Models show their first name only, plus age, height, look, area, photos and experience. Your last name, date of birth, phone number and email stay private. Brands show their name, logo, area and description.

Chat hides phone numbers, emails, links and social handles so bookings and payment stay on Shoots, where both sides are protected. Every message is reviewed by a Shoots admin.

Before booking, models see the area only. The exact address appears once the booking is confirmed.
