DoyenTalent · For adults 18 and over

Agency-quality digitals and a portfolio. Free, from your phone.

Five photos — the same set an agency asks for on a comp card — become a finished digital sheet you can download and keep. Build a portfolio beside it, and a profile that agencies, casting teams and brands can actually find.

Free to claim. No agency contract, and nothing exclusive.

Your five digitals

The five shots agencies ask for, taken on your phone.

Upload one clear photo for each of the five below. Doyen turns them into one digital sheet — the same set an agency asks for on a real comp card.

  1. 01

    Headshot

    Head and shoulders, square on.

  2. 02

    Profile (side)

    The same crop, turned to the side.

  3. 03

    Three-quarter

    Waist up, turned part way.

  4. 04

    Full length

    Head to feet, standing.

  5. 05

    Natural smile

    The same as the headshot, smiling.

Before the sheet

It tells you which shot to retake

Each photo gets checked as you add it. Too dark or too blurry to use, a background cluttered enough to get in the way, light that is workable but uneven, something blocking the shot so you are not fully visible — you are told which one, and why, while you can still do something about it.

What you get

Branded or unbranded, yours to download

The finished sheet comes both ways: one carrying Doyen's mark and one carrying nothing but your photos. Download either, copy a link to it, and send it wherever you like. Your free digitals are yours to download either way.

Then, if you want

Make these my profile portraits

One button attaches the set to your DoyenTalent profile, so the pictures an agency finds are the ones you chose. Being discoverable at all is a separate choice you make yourself, and you can turn it off whenever you like — the digitals stay yours regardless.

Your portfolio

Books, not a feed.

Beside your digitals you can build curated photo books — Editorial, Commercial, Swim, Polaroids, or whatever the work actually is. Each one is a set you have chosen and ordered, rather than everything you have ever posted in the order you posted it.

Only you and the staff of the firm that represents you can change your photo books. Anyone looking at your profile can see them, and when something is being put together for a client it can pull from a book directly.

What you actually get

Five things, stated honestly.

We would rather under-promise here than have you arrive expecting something else. This is what exists today.

01

A free digital sheet

Five guided photos, checked one by one, laid out as the sheet an agency asks for. Branded or unbranded, downloadable, and free — whether or not you ever let anyone discover you through Doyen.

02

A portfolio you curate

Photo books you build and order yourself — Editorial, Commercial, Swim, Polaroids. Only you and the firm that represents you can change them.

03

A record people can find

Your public work — credits, images you have put out, who represents you if anyone — gathered into one profile that a casting director or agent can search. Not a social feed and not a portfolio site you have to drive traffic to.

04

The shape of who is looking

Once your claim is approved you see the interest your profile is drawing: how many organisations looked, and which of them came back. Repeat attention is the part that matters. There is no score, and you are never ranked against anyone else.

05

A record you can correct

Add work Doyen has not found yet, and fix anything it has wrong. Documented additions strengthen the record everybody else sees.

Discovery

New faces get put in front of agencies.

Doyen’s scouting desk works for the agencies on the platform, finding people who are not signed yet and showing them to firms that sign in that category. Having a claimed, accurate profile is how you make sure that what they see is you at your best rather than whatever happened to be public.

If an agency wants to talk to you, they approach you themselves, in their own name. Doyen never messages anyone on an agency’s behalf.

How agencies see new faces

Straight answers

What DoyenTalent is not.

Not an agency

Doyen does not represent you, book you, or take commission on your work. We are the platform the agencies use; they are the ones who sign people.

Not a promise of work

A profile makes you findable. It does not guarantee anybody finds you, and we will never tell you otherwise to get you to sign up.

Not exclusive

Having a profile here does not stop you being anywhere else, and it does not affect the representation you already have.

Not for under-18s

DoyenTalent accounts are for adults. You must be 18 or over to create one.
