Mainboard Models is an independent, black-owned agency specializing in inclusive casting and model management. We represent talent across all backgrounds, sizes, identities, and experience levels—amplifying voices that are often underrepresented in the industry.

Our agency is built on authenticity, visibility, and care. Through our casting services and dedicated model management division, we support both brands and talent with intention, professionalism, and a deep commitment to diversity.

Please use the Model Submissions page to send us your information. Our scouting team carefully reviews every submission and will reach out via email within 7 days if we feel you may be a good fit for our agency.

Even if we don’t move forward with representation at this time, your information will remain in our database for future casting opportunities.

No experience is necessary! We welcome aspiring and established talent of all backgrounds, sizes and identities. If you have a strong look and presence, we’d love to see your submission!

We represent a wide range of models across all identities, sizes, and backgrounds. Our motto is Redefining Beauty, Leading with Diversity and our focus is on casting that reflects real-world diversity and celebrates individuality.

Not at all. Simple, well-lit digitals (natural photos) are perfect. You’ll find guidelines on the Model Submissions page to help you take the right kinds of photos.

Never. We do not charge models to be represented. If someone contacts you claiming to be from Mainboard Models and asks for payment, please report it to us directly.

We respond within 7 days if we’re interested in moving forward. Due to the volume of submissions, we’re unable to reply to everyone individually, but we appreciate every submission.

Mainboard Models processes payments on a bi-monthly schedule—around the 1st and 15th of each month. Once we receive payment from the client (which typically takes between 30 to 90 days), your payment will be included in the following pay period.

Please keep in mind that bank processing times may affect when the funds appear in your account. We appreciate your patience and are committed to keeping payments as timely and transparent as possible.
