Hashtags

Hashtags for models

Model hashtags decide who sees a portfolio: casting directors, photographers and agencies search by city, category and look, so #model on its own puts your post among millions. These sets name the type of work and your location, which helps the right people find your professional profile.

Using these hashtags well

  • Name your category and your city

    A tag such as #mumbaimodels or #malemodel tells a casting team who you are and where you work. A bare #model fits everyone and so helps nobody.

  • Credit the team and keep it professional

    Tag the photographer, stylist and designer in the caption. Portfolio posts are read by clients, so keep tags about the work, not about appearance.

  • Be careful with casting offers

    Genuine agencies do not ask for upfront fees to sign you. Check reviews and contact details before replying to a casting post.

Questions

Which hashtags should a new model use?

Pair #modelportfolio or #testshoot with your city and category, for example #delhimodels. Use them on real work, so people can see the portfolio they came for.

Can hashtags get me signed by an agency?

No tag can promise that. They help casting teams and photographers find your profile; the portfolio itself does the convincing.

Should I tag the brand or designer?

Yes, when you worked with them, and in the caption as well. Only tag work you really did.
