Everyone has their own lives to live. They have their own responsibilities and their own routines – no two days are the same. Some people are recognised by what they achieve in their daily life – for example charity work or being the pillar of a community. Nevertheless, it can be too comfortable to be wrapped up in habits and customary procedures. Sometimes a break in the norm is just the ticket.
Commercial modelling is one very achievable path to break up daily routines. Here are our main reasons why modelling with us is both practical and realistic:
1. We are a national employment agency. That means we place modelling talent in all sorts of jobs around the UK, and even abroad. We’re therefore not limited to a small catchment area, so it increases the chances of registered models being selected by our clients.
2. We work with the largest selection of brands, so this again increases opportunities for fun-loving, hardworking models. By connecting brands with the right models, we’ve experienced lots of repeated requests because the brands trust us to put forward the most appropriate modelling talent on our books.

3. We don’t specialise in one “look”. We’ve placed thousands of commercial models of all ages and backgrounds, and anyone is welcome to register with us. Have a look at the types of models we cater for.
4. No modelling experience is necessary. Plenty of first-time models have been chosen by brands to work on their advertising and marketing campaigns.

So, your path from daily life to posing / acting on set is more accessible than you might think.
Your path to stepping on set and working with photographers and filmmakers starts with a little background work. We don’t recommend anyone joining any agency without knowing a little bit about them. Readers can peruse our background and values here. And please don’t be duped by agencies claiming they actively look for work, when in fact they charge models for photos and do little else. A reputable modelling employment agency looks for work on behalf of their models; some are “showcase agencies” – please read the differences between the two here.
Once you’ve done your research, you should decide on the right agency for you – and no one else. You may choose to join more than one, which is acceptable. Different agencies have different terms and conditions, but at the heart of any decent modelling employment agency is the desire to put forward the right models with the right clients.
Your path to modelling work is made that little easier to navigate by joining a reputable modelling agency. At Models Direct, we give registered their own ePortfolios, so models can upload current photos and reels to attract our client’s attention.

Modelling is very enjoyable, and we pay all our models in five working days.
The path to realistic modelling work starts with us, and we look forward to increasing your chances of working with the best brands around.
