Questions
Is this real?
Yes. You are paid after the interview, before you do any shoot, so you see real money before you put in real work. You never pay anything to us.
Do I need a camera or a studio?
No. A phone with a working camera is enough. The guide shows you how to use window light and simple spots at home.
What kind of photos?
Clothed fashion and lifestyle photos: outfits, places you like, everyday moments. You always see the brief first and you can say no.
Will people at home see my photos?
No. Nyota Stars never shows a model's photos to visitors from her own country, and you work under a stage name. Your real name is only used for your payments.
How am I paid?
By Sendwave, to the number you choose. Each payment is confirmed with you in your private chat.
