In May 2010, we proudly announced that OneModelPlace.com acquired iStudio.com. Both sites will continue to serve our members, and we have some exciting improvements coming up in the next few months.

OneModelPlace.com's mission is to serve the modeling, photography, and associated industries by offering the opportunity to create and maintain a powerful online presence regardless of a user's technical skills, geographic location or experience. OMP provides models, photographers, casting agents, and clients access to the most diverse talent pool that the world has ever seen.

OneModelPlace.com empowers professionals with tools that enable them to quickly locate, evaluate, negotiate with and hire talent anywhere and everywhere. Additionally, OMP enables a very robust level of communication, education and promotion for our audience. OMP will continually provide our customers with more tools, features, and programs to develop their careers, than any other source.

While OneModelPlace.com is focused on models and photographers, iStudio.com expands to other talents such as actors, singers, choreographers, composers, and models that want to branch into the film industry. Aside from images, you can also present video and music on iStudio.com.

The answer is simple: the more exposure you get, the more jobs you will land. Both sites have the capability of bringing you paid offers and photo shoot assignments by contacting members and responding to casting calls.

As OMP members, you can continue to expect the high quality of service that you have received in the past. In addition, we will be working over the next several months to set up a free profile for you on iStudio, giving you additional exposure and job opportunities.

iStudio.com will continue to provide you with a wide range of promotional tool and features. Along with modeling and photography, iStudio is gearing up to become more focused on acting, singing and performing artists, allowing them the chance to promote themselves online.

Yes, iStudio.com will remain free.

If you are an iStudio model, you are entitled to a free Bronze membership on OMP, which will allow you to post 21 images on your portfolio. If you are an iStudio photographer or other member, you can get started on OMP with a Bronze membership for an annual $15 charge. All members of OMP are able to move up to higher memberships by clicking on the UPGRADE button at the top of the main home page. Note: In some instances, photographers and other members may be offered a complimentary membership upgrade on a case-by-case basis. You can submit your new OneModelPlace.com profile link for consideration via email at newseditor@onemodelplace.com -- please write "iStudio Member Submission" in the subject line.

Yes, this will happen over the course of the next few months.

Members are encouraged to update their accounts on both OneModelPlace.com and iStudio.com regularly, not only to keep their information and images current but to promote themselves to other members as well.

You can upload the same images to both sites, but choosing to upload different photos will give your portfolios greater variety and open you up to more work offers.
