Ever had these struggles?
āI worked without a contractābig mistake.ā

You might not know where to start, and when work dries up, the anxiety hits harder. But hereās the good news: thereās a better way to take control and keep the gigs coming!
A New Approach, Powered by Spotlite
<Spotlite> is a casting platform where brands connect with freelance creatorsāstylists, HMUAs, photographers, and models. But weāre more than just a casting platform. Our mission is to create an environment where freelancers can work in a more stable and sustainable way.
We initially started to help brands easily find models for their shoots, but weāve since expanded our services to include stylists, hair & makeup artists, and photographers. To date, over 500 domestic and international brandsāincluding Musinsa, Sulwhasoo, and Samsungāhave booked talent through Spotlite, resulting in over 600 successful collaborations.
Although weāre currently working on enhancing the platform, weāve opened up early registration specifically for stylists, so we can connect you to great projects even faster. Once you register on Spotlite, youāll start receiving collaboration offers from more brands!
