Taking that first step towards modelling could not be easier…
And, before you know it, you could be stepping out in front of a camera on a photo or film shoot.
One day you could be going about your everyday life – the next you could be a model!
No two modelling journeys are ever the same but you will never know what yours could be like if you don’t dip your toe in the water and give it a go.
The first step is to sign up with a reputable agency and of course we would recommend Models Direct – after all, we have been in the business for over 35 years!

We represent men, women, children and pets and you can find out what they all think about working with us by reading their many reviews.
Once you have filled in our form and sent us some photos – and, remember, we have people of all ages, sizes, body shapes and backgrounds on our books – we will be in touch.
One of our agents will explain more about the modelling industry as a whole and how we work at Models Direct.
They will tell you how some of our models are offered assignments quickly while for others it can be a longer wait.
Not only is the modelling business very competitive, but it is our clients who make the final choice as to who they would like to employ from the shortlist of suitable models we send them.
Our agents will be able to answer any of your questions and discuss with you your suitability (or that of your child) for modelling.
If you decide to continue with your application, it will be put forward to our selection panel and they will let you know as soon as possible if you have been successful.

If you are, you will be given a secure e-portfolio to maintain and the more regularly you update your photos and information on here, the better your chances will be of being selected.
As long as your e-portfolio is up to date, our agents will put you forward for assignments whenever someone meeting your description is required.

If you are chosen by the client, they will then tell you more about the job, the location and the fee and you can decide whether to accept.
It really is as easy as that!
Female model Ana, for example, took part in an assignment with Athlete PR, through us and this is what she said afterwards:
“This was my first assignment with Models Direct and I have to say that the process could not have been easier or more enjoyable.
“Gemma and Charlie gave me a call before booking to make sure everything was on track.
“I received a brief of all instructions about the photo shoot.
“The client was very welcoming and I felt very comfortable and secure.
“I truly recommend Model Direct, a professional and great agency.
“I joined the agency a couple of months ago and hadn’t expected to be selected so quickly.
“I had two different photo shoots with the same client and hopefully will have another one.
“I totally recommend the agency because they are professional and great.”
