As the season swiftly changes from bright, colourful days out to walking through crisp, ruffling leaves fallen on footpaths, autumn is a go-to season for anyone looking to kick-start their mature modelling journey.
Things don’t slow down as the season welcomes a chill. It’s quite the opposite and for anyone aged 40 plus interested in scooping up a career in something rather delightful (rather than leaves on their driveway) then modelling is the next stop for you!
Here’s why it’s a good time to start:
You can enjoy marketing work ahead of the calendar
Clients usually get in touch with us with work that’s planned ahead of schedule. It takes time to develop, produce and roll out a campaign so we usually tend to see seasonal work marked at least one season beforehand. So, you could be enjoying a summer gig that’s set for the festive season as a mature model.

You can explore the season’s new trends
Whether it’s hair, makeup, or apparel, you can learn about the autumnal season’s new trends whilst journeying as a new model. Stay in the loop with all things fashion-related and enjoy what the season has to bring for the season.

Creating aesthetically pleasing profile images
What a great way to kick off your portfolio pics but with the glorious tones that autumn brings. The burgundy, khaki, beige and all the glorious neutral hues which come to mind are a perfect way to add zest and appeal to your new portfolio. They’re eye-catching and will bring another dimension to your range of snaps.

Popular autumn events to enjoy and incorporate into your portfolio
A lot is happening in the fall so you won’t run out of ideas for your images. Events to look forward to are:
Guy Fawkes Night/ Bon Fire Night
Halloween
Eid (depending on when the holy month of Ramadan falls and when the new moon is sighted at the end of the month)
Diwali
