Book Models in Lagos, Nigeria

Looking to book models in Lagos for a campaign, fashion shoot, runway show, e-commerce production, beauty campaign or commercial project?

DXC Models Management helps brands, designers, advertising agencies, photographers and production teams find suitable professional talent for projects in Lagos and across Nigeria.

Send us your brief and we will review your requirements, check suitable talent and availability, then present a relevant shortlist for your project.

Not every model fits every project.

Our role is to understand the brief first, then identify talent that makes sense for what the client is actually producing.

How Booking Models Through DXC Works

What Should Be Inside Your Model Brief?

The more specific the brief, the more accurately we can shortlist.

Where possible, send:

• Project or brand name
• Shoot or event date
• Location
• Number of models required
• Gender or casting profile
• Preferred age range
• Any height or size requirements
• The type of look you need
• Working hours
• Wardrobe or fitting requirements
• Photo or video deliverables
• How the content will be used
• Campaign duration
• Usage territory
• Exclusivity, if applicable
• Budget

Commercial Models in Lagos

Commercial modelling covers a much wider range of people and looks than traditional runway modelling.

A campaign may need:

• Young professionals
• Parents
• Students
• Families
• Luxury consumers
• Beauty consumers
• Fashion customers
• Everyday people with a relatable commercial look

For many advertising campaigns, relatability and the ability to perform naturally on camera may matter as much as traditional model measurements.

Fashion and Runway Models

For runway, editorial, lookbook and designer projects, briefs may require more specific height, measurements, movement or fashion experience.

Send us the actual requirements for your project rather than assuming one standard applies to every fashion job.

Beauty Models

Beauty campaigns may require talent for:

• Skincare
• Makeup
• Hair
• Wigs
• Jewellery
• Accessories
• Close-up advertising

Depending on the campaign, the client may prioritise facial features, skin, expression, hair, hands or the ability to perform naturally in close-up video.

E-commerce Models

Fashion and retail brands may need models for regular product photography and online catalogues.

For e-commerce work, consistency, movement, fit, measurements and the ability to work efficiently across multiple outfits can be important.

Curve and Plus-Size Models

DXC’s specialist CURV Models division supports curve, plus-size and diverse talent for fashion, commercial, beauty and lifestyle work.

Clients looking specifically for curve talent can request a targeted shortlist rather than reviewing unrelated profiles.

Kids Models

DXC also works with children through the DXC Kids Division.

For child talent, age, working conditions, production schedule and parental involvement must be considered carefully.

Please include the required age range and nature of the campaign in your brief.

Models for Social Media and Short-Form Content

Some modern commercial briefs now require more than still photographs.

A brand may need a model who can also:

• Speak naturally on camera
• Demonstrate products
• Appear in Reels
• Create TikTok-style content
• Handle lifestyle scenes
• Deliver short scripted or unscripted lines

If this is part of your project, include it in the brief so we can shortlist talent that is comfortable with those requirements.

Do Clients Have to Organise a Physical Audition?

Not necessarily.

For many projects, clients can begin by reviewing current model materials and a shortlist prepared around the brief.

If you already know the general age, look, measurements, body type or profile required, share those details with us.

This allows DXC to reduce a large talent pool into a more relevant selection.

If a physical casting or callback is genuinely necessary for the project, that can be discussed separately.

How Much Does It Cost to Book Models in Lagos?

There is no single universal model rate.

The cost to book models in Lagos can depend on:

• The model
• Type of project
• Working hours
• Number of shoot days
• Client or brand
• Photo or video requirements
• Where the content will appear
• How long it will be used
• Advertising territory
• Paid media usage
• Exclusivity
• Travel or logistics

For that reason, DXC prefers to understand the actual project before confirming a rate.

You can also read our guide to model usage rights in Nigeria.

Why Model Usage Matters

A model appearing in a few organic Instagram photographs is not necessarily the same commercial arrangement as a model becoming the face of a nationwide advertising campaign.

The same photograph or video could potentially appear on:

• Instagram
• TikTok
• Websites
• Paid social advertising
• Billboards
• Retail displays
• Packaging
• Television
• Digital advertising

This is why DXC may ask where the campaign will run and for how long before finalising commercial terms.

Need Models Urgently?

Send the brief as early as possible.

Last-minute bookings may still be possible depending on talent availability, but early briefs give the agency, client and models more time to prepare properly.

For runway productions, fittings and rehearsals may also need to be considered.

Booking Models Outside Lagos

DXC Models Management is based in Lagos.

For projects elsewhere in Nigeria, send us the location and logistics information.

Suitable talent may be considered depending on availability, travel requirements and the nature of the production.

Booking Models From Outside Nigeria

International brands, diaspora businesses and production teams can also contact DXC to discuss Nigerian talent for projects taking place in Lagos or elsewhere in Nigeria.

Where appropriate, model profiles and current materials can be reviewed remotely before final selection.

Please include the campaign location, intended usage, currency, working dates and any production requirements when sending the brief.

What Happens After the Job?

The booking relationship does not necessarily end when the camera stops.

Depending on the project, DXC may still need to handle:

• Client payment
• Model payment
• Usage confirmation
• Campaign extensions
• Additional content requests
• Renewals

If the campaign later changes significantly from the original agreement, please speak with DXC before expanding the model’s usage.

Why Book Models Through DXC?

The purpose of working with an agency is not simply to receive a long list of faces.

A proper booking process should help the client reduce unnecessary back-and-forth and focus on talent that actually fits the brief.

DXC can help with:

• Understanding the brief
• Shortlisting relevant talent
• Checking availability
• Providing appropriate model materials
• Communicating booking requirements
• Discussing rates and usage
• Coordinating confirmed talent

For clients, this means less time sorting through unsuitable options.

For models, it means being presented for work that reasonably fits their profile.

Frequently Asked Questions

How do I book models in Lagos through DXC?

Send DXC your project brief, including the type of models required, date, location, deliverables, usage and budget. We can then identify suitable talent and confirm availability.

Can DXC shortlist models for us?

Yes. Tell us the profile you need and DXC can review suitable talent rather than requiring you to search through every available model.

Can I book male and female models?

Yes. DXC works across different commercial and fashion talent categories. Availability depends on the specific brief and date.

Can I book child models?

Yes. Suitable child talent may be sourced through DXC Kids Division, with parents or guardians involved in arrangements concerning minors.

Does DXC have plus-size models?

Yes. CURV Models is the specialist DXC division focused on curve, plus-size and diverse talent.

Can I see model portfolios before booking?

DXC can provide appropriate current model materials for talent being considered for the project.

Do model rates include advertising usage?

Not automatically. Usage should be discussed as part of the brief because campaign duration, media, territory and exclusivity can affect the commercial arrangement.

Can I book models for projects outside Lagos?

Potentially. Send the location and project details so DXC can assess suitable talent, availability and travel requirements.

Can international clients book Nigerian models through DXC?

Yes. International brands and production teams can contact DXC with their project requirements. Availability, usage, logistics and commercial terms can then be discussed based on the specific campaign.

Do I need to organise a physical casting?

Not always. Depending on the project, clients may be able to shortlist using current photographs, digitals, measurements and suitable video material before deciding whether any additional casting stage is necessary.

All bookings are subject to talent suitability, availability and agreed commercial terms. Submission of a brief does not automatically confirm a booking.
