We don't live in a large city that has a pool of potential models and, in fact, we purposely stay low-key and don't even recruit in our home town. So we don't have the luxury of being able to have potential models over for in-person auditions. Our models apply to us from all over the country, so what they supply to us in the way of self pictures and personal details, together with a phone interview, forms the basis for our decision. We have a very extensive online application which helps us greatly, and we expect to see pictures but we don't insist on nudes at first (maybe later). The process is all about weeding out the wannabees from the serious applicants. Once we think a guy is serious, we might ask for more, but especially with the younger models you have to consider their comfort level. After awhile, they'll open up and supply whatever you need if they're serious.
