STELLA · Tennessee
Casting Tennessee Beyond Music Row
Nashville's healthcare-management headquarters and entertainment industry both cast constantly, and STELLA represents talent for the commercial and promo work that pipeline needs — though the state's story runs well past one city.
Memphis carries its own music heritage plus a genuine air-cargo and logistics economy; Knoxville anchors the University of Tennessee and the Smoky Mountain gateway; Chattanooga has built an outdoor-recreation and technology reputation on the Tennessee River. We scout all four markets on their own terms.
Tennessee Boards Beyond Music Row
Commercial & Corporate
Nashville's healthcare-management headquarters and Memphis's logistics economy both commission steady corporate and employer-brand photography; our commercial board covers both markets.
Outdoor & Adventure
Chattanooga's river gorges and Knoxville's Smoky Mountain gateway have built a genuine outdoor-recreation casting market; we field hiking-, climbing- and water-comfortable talent for it.
Music & Entertainment Content
Promo photography, album-adjacent content and live-event coverage cluster around Nashville and Memphis; our entertainment board is scouted specifically for that world.

Mountain-to-River Reach
From Smoky Mountain trailheads to the Mississippi riverfront, our talent are briefed on the specific physical demands each Tennessee location asks for.

Frequently Asked Questions
- Does STELLA cast for Nashville's music industry?
- We represent talent for promo, entertainment and music-adjacent content, though we're a modeling and commercial agency rather than a music-management company — we don't handle recording or artist-management deals.
- I was approached about modeling in Nashville and asked to pay upfront — is that legitimate?
- No. Nashville's entertainment-industry reputation attracts a disproportionate number of pay-to-play scams. A real agency earns commission from bookings it makes for you, never from fees it charges you first — check our site's contact details before paying anyone anything.
- Is there modeling work in Memphis, Knoxville or Chattanooga, or is it all Nashville?
- All three cast steadily — Memphis for logistics and hospitality brands, Knoxville for its university and Smoky Mountain tourism economy, and Chattanooga for outdoor and technology-sector work.
