Signing on with Swipecast allows you, as an artist, to have a fair chance at amazing projects. Being in the right place and the right time, PLUS being prepared, this agency can make your NYC dreams finally come true. I had the pleasure of working with a great brand new crew. However, I had to bother a few people to get the moodboard, and the main contact was unclear, but in the end, well worth the effort. Who could turn down a cover shot for L’Officiel? Thank you Swipecast!!

I was referred to this app by someone while working on a shoot with them that actually uses it and was very pleased with it. As a photographer they said it could help me get work, but also hire others for shoots as I also play producer or art director for some of my clients, which seemed like a huge plus. This was a big bonus for me, especially with Covid I’m looking for more ways to connect with and hire talent (retouchers, and experienced models in my immediate area at the moment). I’ve been on the waitlist though for months at this point with no real reason as to why. I could understand waitlisting talent that could be hired, but waitlisting people that want to post jobs?? I don’t understand why I can’t even post jobs if I’m looking to actually hire someone for professional level work. The thing that was most frustrating was they didn’t even mention there was a waitlist until I got to the end of making my profile. What a waste of my time. Very disappointed in the customer service.

Using swipecast from a lot. I remember at the beginning I waited quite a bit to be accepted. They are selective, and this is actually a good thing long term. The quality of the work is always good, fast and safe payments, and the commission is acceptable - especially compared to the traditional agencies. I feel also more comfortable to be in a high level environment: no amatorial models, cheap photographers, and various wanna-be. Support is ok but can be improved.
