… is easier than you think.


It’s not just about compiling a collection of great images, nor is it just about keeping up with the latest fashion and beauty trends.
Becoming a model runs much deeper than that, and with our modelling agency, Models Direct, we’re here to help everyone looking to take this step in our industry.


Can it happen for anyone and everyone?
Yes, it can!


We’re not kidding, readers. Our agency is dedicated to connecting everyday people, regardless of age, gender, and background, with clients for a diverse range of modelling assignments.


A big bonus of working with us:


We don’t ask for prior modelling experience. The beauty of becoming a model with Models Direct is that we do not put pressure on our new models to have plenty of experience and key skills before their first assignment with us. We like to make things easy and smooth because life is already complicated as it is.


We offer our models first-hand experience regardless of whether they’re a newbie or experienced model, and match them to jobs we feel are most suited to their modelling experience.

This could range from photoshoots to being a fit model and wearing designers’ clothes to check whether the fit will be right, to later mass produce. It might also mean trying out commercial modelling and promotional modelling, or even group bookings with models you’ve never met or even your pet being hired!


Models Direct has a multitude of interesting pathways a model can take, but above all, we do look for the following characteristics in our models:


Organised and adaptable, with a positive attitude
Able to work independently and as part of a team
Patient, energetic, and approachable
Conscientious individual

As for new models who have walked through our doors, we have a collection of great feedback to share with you:

Jovita Ratkeviciute (FYKP-6849) was hired by Sony UK, and they commented:

“My first assignment for Models Direct went very well! It was with Sony camera company. Wedding shoot with a male model, I did really enjoy it, it’s my first time shooting with as a male model. The team was amazing, very friendly and warm people, brilliant atmosphere. Marie is my agent, she is very professional, and explained everything in detail. Thank you so much to Models Direct for this opportunity. It was great! And I’m looking to do it more! Definitely Recommended!”

Whilst Michael (BXGM-7944) was booked for an EE commercial. His parents shared this with our team:

“Our teenage son recently had his first commercial photo and video shoot at the client’s location, and the experience was incredibly positive from start to finish. The pre-shoot communication with Charlie from MD was both professional and friendly, even though everything came together on rather short notice — which is likely quite common in this industry.

On the day, the team on set was welcoming, kind, and gave clear instructions that really helped him feel confident and at ease, especially as it was his first time in this kind of environment. We truly appreciate how smoothly everything was handled and how supported he felt throughout the process. Thank you for such a great introduction to the world of commercial work!”


It’s great to see how our models get on, and we support them pre- and post-assignment. If you’re interested in becoming a model with Models Direct, join us today.
