Sign in, browse, and book with models from any city directly at book.soona.co/directory. Or, after your booking is made, you'll go through model selection which will surface the active models in the city your booking is assigned to. Filters are available for basic traits such as shoe size, skin tone, gender, age and more.
You'll use portfolio photos and model details to determine your top 2-3 model preferences. Then you'll describe any extra model details such as shaving, nail, and wardrobe needs. If you decide to send wardrobe, your chosen model's sizes will be surfaced.
From there, soona does the rest! We will communicate and coordinate with the model. You get to focus on shipping your product, building your shotlist, or any other prep.
