Market profile
How the market works in Madrid
That mix produces no single casting profile for the whole week. Established houses, emerging designers and off-site productions can look for different silhouettes and levels of experience, so a neutral base set is more useful than trying to pre-style for every show.

Before you apply
Images to have ready in Madrid
- 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 Blow Models — Madrid and View Management — Madrid 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.
