What does a porn talent agency do?
A talent agency represents performers and books them for paid shoots with producers and studios. It negotiates rates, checks productions and takes a commission on each booking.
In California, where much of the US industry works, talent agencies must be licensed by the Labor Commissioner. Many reputable ones are also listed by the Free Speech Coalition.
How do you check a porn model agency before signing?
- Licence. Ask for the licence number and check it with the state that issued it
- No upfront fees. Legitimate agencies earn commission on bookings, not joining or portfolio fees
- Testing and consent. Productions should follow industry testing rules and confirm consent in writing
- Written contract. Commission, term and how to leave must be on paper before any work
- References. Speak to performers the agency already represents
