Market profile
How the market works in Bucharest
That kind of brief is useful because it shows what part of the local market values first: a clear current appearance, not a heavily produced book. A strong application in Bucharest starts with following each agency’s own instructions closely and keeping the presentation simpler than many first-time applicants expect.

Before you apply
Images to have ready in Bucharest
- A recent close-up with natural skin texture and simple hair.
- A full-length front view plus a clean profile.
- One simple image with movement, without heavy styling.
- A short walk clip if the casting asks for one.
Keep measurements current and use recent images. A portfolio can support an application, but it should not replace clean, neutral digitals when those are requested.
Check the current application requirements at MRA Models and MRA Casting before shooting anything specifically for them. Treat the current form as the brief: requested images, measurements and file formats can differ from one organisation to another.
