WHAT IS THE ADVANTAGE OF AN ONLINE PORTFOLIO?
The great thing about the Internet is that it definitely does not matter where you live.

Starkhoj.com intendeds to maximize exposure world wide, thus helping you to be seen by talent seekers, no matter where you live.

HOW WILL AGENCIES, CASTING DIRECTORS, ETC. CONTACT ME?
Users will contact you directly on your email address given by you on registration. Unlike other sites, which freely expose a lot of personal information to strangers, by giving access to browsing portfolios, we have adopted this method to ensure your safety.

Although it is not necessary, you may also choose to have additional contact information. Starkhoj.com suggests that you consider your means of being contacted very carefully. Please do not list your home phone number or address in the "My Page" section.

WHAT KIND OF PHOTOS TO UPLOAD?
You should provide at least one clear head shot (close up)and one clear full-length body shot. More pictures are necessary to show experience in other areas (i.e., swimsuit, high fashion, hands, etc.) Submitted pictures should be in-focus, clear and of the highest quality possible. All pictures should be in the jpeg format.

KEEP IN MIND: The more professional your photos are the more job offers you will likely receive. If you can afford it, get professional photos taken (if you don't have some already). If you can't afford it then you should consider getting shots taken at a photo studio.

IF YOU DON'T HAVE PROFESSIONAL PHOTOS
On your request through our feedback form our Photographers will contact you through your email and ask if you want to do photo-shoots to get better photos

Keep in mind: the more professional your photos are the more job offers you will likely receive. If you can afford it, get professional photos taken (if you don't have some already). If you are unsure of which shots to submit, send more than necessary and we will pick which ·

DO I NEED EXPERIENCE?
Not necessarily. Many people from many different backgrounds have been successful in the performing arts industry.

DOES STARKHOJ.COM MAKE ANY MONEY WHEN I GET A JOB?
No. The only time Starkhoj.com makes money is when you first sign up. We do not make any money from you or your client when you get a job unless you have separately opted to sign up for our agency services offline.

BY JOINING STARKHOJ.COM WILL I BE GUARANTEED WORK?
Starkhoj.com can't guarantee job placement for its members because the amount of jobs an actor, or model gets largely depends on the quality of their photographs and resumes. The Web Site is designed to maximize exposure world wide, thus helping you to be seen by the right person.

HOW LONG CAN A MODELING CAREER LAST?
The length of a model's career depends upon how well the model takes care of his/herself. There are different agencies that represent all age levels including babies to middle age.
