Market profile
How the market works in Toronto
That overlap makes Toronto useful for profiles that can move between fashion, commercial and content work. The application should still begin with clean, current images, but a short natural video can be especially relevant where movement and on-camera presence form part of the brief.

Before you apply
Images to have ready in Toronto
- 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 Dulcedo Models — Toronto and Next Canada — Toronto 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.
