There are so many reasons people choose to become a model and here at Models Direct we see them all!
Some of our male and female models decide to sign up because they are seeking new experiences or want to challenge themselves to do something different in life.
Others are looking to take the first steps towards a whole new career while for some it is simply about making a little extra money with some fun part-time work.
For the parents of our child and baby models, it is often because they know just how gorgeous their little ones are and they would love to see them on screen or on the page of a magazine or catalogue.
Whatever the reason for initially joining an agency such as ours, you have to prepare to turn heads and get noticed…
Because that is the reality of modelling – before you know it you could be taking part in major marketing campaigns and posing for some of the biggest brands in the business.
Models Direct has been at the heart of the industry here in Britain for over 35 years now.
We also send models on assignments abroad on occasion.
We team up with marketing, media and production agencies that oversee advertising, campaigns and promotions for businesses and organisations ranging from local, boutique operations to renowned global corporations.
This is why our models have worked for end clients including the likes of Microsoft, Amazon, Sony, McDonald’s, Apple, Sky and the BBC.
Modelling is a competitive industry and we never promise any of our models that we will definitely be able to place them.
This is because we never make the final choice as to who to send along to a booking – we provide our clients with a shortlist of suitable candidates and they select the person they want.
But, in order to be in with a chance of being that model that turns heads and gets noticed, you have to start somewhere – and what better place than a reputable, longstanding agency such as ours?
We have helped so many people of all ages to find work and we have so much feedback highlighting how much our models enjoy working with us.
So if this is something you are keen to find out more about, please don’t hesitate to contact us via our online form.
Jovita joined us and was sent along to model for Sony UK.
Afterwards, she told us:
“My first assignment for Models Direct went very well!
“It was with camera company Sony and was a wedding shoot with a male model.
“I did really enjoy it. The team was amazing – they were all very friendly and warm people and there was a brilliant atmosphere.
“Marie is my agent and she was very professional, explaining everything in detail.
“Thank you so much to Models Direct for this opportunity – it was great!
“I definitely recommend them!”
And we sent Adam along to a shoot at Heathrow Airport. He said:
“I had a fantastic time today at Heathrow Airport.
“I enjoyed the whole experience. The clients themselves were fantastic – very friendly and warm.
“This was my first modelling experience and the relaxed nature of the client and the photographer put me at ease straight away.
“I got more and more into it as the shoot went on and am looking forward to seeing the end product.
“After this experience, I very much hope that I will get the chance to do some more work.
“Thank you for this opportunity.”
