Top five tips for parents of aspiring models

If your teen is longing to become a modelling star or you know your little one has what it takes to be a child model, then this is something you should definitely look into further.

Modelling may or may not be right for your son or daughter – but you will never know unless you begin to dig a little deeper.

Many famous faces started out as child or teen models – think Demi Moore, Cara Delevingne and Billie Piper, for example!

But no one wants to launch their offspring headlong into the modelling industry without carrying out some research first.

Models Direct has been a leading UK agency for over 35 years now.

In that time, we have seen huge changes and worked with some of the best-known brands, businesses and organisations in the world.

So, before you go any further, why not peruse our top five tips for parents of aspiring models?

Promotional Christmas Campaign

My First Photo Shoot Experience

After two years of anticipation and preparation, I finally had my first photo shoot—and it was everything I hoped for. The journey to this moment wasn’t unexpected, but reaching it felt incredibly rewarding. I was buzzing with excitement, and I truly believe the shoot went well. Of course, the final images will be the real proof, but the experience itself was a win.

The day unfolded beautifully. The atmosphere was relaxed, the energy was positive, and most importantly, the client was warm, welcoming, and genuinely kind. That made all the difference. I felt supported and seen, which helped me bring my best to the shoot.

Here’s to many more milestones ahead!

2 day Campaign Shoot

Great communication before and throughout the shoot. I had a fun time working with an automotive brand promoting the brand as well as working alongside another model. Very professional but still very authentic.

Why modelling over 40 is a growing trend

There is no doubt about it – 40 is the new 30…or maybe even 20?!

Whichever way you look at it, most of those in their upper decades would tell you they feel and look younger at their age than their parents and grandparents did!

But why is this?

These days there is much more of an emphasis on health and wellbeing.

The more we learn about looking after ourselves, the more we try to keep fitter for longer by considering our lifestyle habits.

Representation Matters: Real People, Real Roles, Real Modelling Opportunities

Models who are represented by a modelling agency have a significantly greater chance of success. This is something that we know, that our clients know, and that our registered models know.

But that agency must be a genuine one, which actively looks for work for the most suitable talent. There are several agencies who might claim to represent models, when they only have the merest inclination of putting talented individuals with the right companies looking for models. Some agencies don’t even have any intention of seeking work for their models, instead charging for professional photos and keeping them in a portfolio. Not the best start for a model’s career…

Employment agencies seek work for their models. This is the key difference between “representation” and being on an agency’s books. Offering expensive photoshoots is no way for an agency to “represent” their models.
