100% exclusive and 100% yours

At Paperback Model, we understand the importance of exclusivity when it comes to book cover imagery. For authors who value distinctiveness, our approach ensures that once you purchase an image, the entire sequence from that shoot is made permanently unavailable to other authors. Unlike stock image websites or photographers that may sell slightly varied images from the same shoot you have bought from, we guarantee that your cover image remains unique to you, ensuring your brand integrity in the competitive market.

Over 200 market-ready cover model portfolios

What are you looking for in your cover model imagery?
A great smile? A great body? Eyes that are magnets for your readers to fall in love? Authenticity, free from the Ai plasticky stuff? All of the above?
PbM is updated weekly with some of the most attractive professional models in the world, providing large portfolios of character archetypes. The perfect cover model photography for your MCs. Polished, beautiful, in super high-resolution and ready to go.

Colour-matched to your existing series

Style consistency across your book series is key. That’s why we offer a free colour grading for any of our images to seamlessly integrate the photograph with your existing covers. Whether your series spans several books or involves multiple photographers, we’ll collaborate closely with you to match the colour, tones, styles, and aesthetics of your previous cover models. This can include background swaps and tonal adjustments to ensure our photography aligns perfectly with your planned visual language.
