"How much does it cost to hire a model or actor in Ireland?" is one of the first questions producers and brands ask us - and the honest answer is: it depends. Rates are shaped by usage, experience and shoot demands rather than a single fixed price. Here's a clear breakdown of what drives cost, so you can budget with confidence and brief us for an accurate quote.

What drives the price

Day rate or session fee - the talent's time on set, which varies with experience and the type of work. Usage and licensing - where and how long the images or footage run (social, web, print, TV, out-of-home) is often the biggest factor. Buyout and exclusivity - broader or longer usage, and any exclusivity, increase the fee. Shoot demands - travel, wardrobe, overtime, special skills and extended prep all add up.

Casting vs. modelling

Casting for film and TV (actors, extras, real people) is typically priced per role, per shoot day, with usage layered on top. Model bookings for fashion, commercial and e-commerce are usually a day or half-day rate plus usage. Volume work - large e-commerce shoots or crowd scenes — can be scoped as packages.

How to get an accurate quote

Share four things and we'll come back with clear, itemised pricing: the type of talent and how many, the shoot dates and location, the usage (channels and duration), and any special requirements. The more precise the brief, the tighter the quote - and no surprises later.
