Life begins at 40 – why we want the over 40s and why they might enjoying modelling with us

Calling all men and women aged 40 and over, joining an agency like Models Direct could bring a new dimension to your life.

And we would love to have you on board because we know you will be reliable, professional and that you will enjoy yourselves!

They say age is just a number and when it comes to modelling, nothing could be closer than the truth.

Models Direct is renowned for the variety of modelling work it offers to people of all ages, from newborn babies right up to retirees and grandparents.

This is because we have a spectrum of clients – existing and new – who approach us on a regular basis requiring everyday models to reflect everyday members of the public.

Flick through any magazine or watch any series of television advertising and you will begin to realise how campaigns and promotions target people of all ages, including those over 40.

Not only do they want to sell their products and services to over 40s, but they need them to play the parts of mums, dads, employees, customers and a host of other roles in campaigns targeting everyone.

So why might modelling appeal to someone over the age of 40? Here are just a few reasons…

1 The vast majority of our models are part-time models. They may have other jobs or families to look after; they may be students or have other interests, hobbies and passions that take up the rest of their time. The great appeal of modelling is that it can fit in with everything else you do in life.

2 Whether you accept an assignment we offer you is entirely up to you. Our bookings may be anything from a few hours or half a day to a full day or several days. And if you are too busy, you can say no.

3 All the modelling work we offer is paid – and who does not appreciate opportunities to earn a little extra? We negotiate fair fees for all our models and we ensure they are paid on time after the completion of the assignment.

4 Sometimes it is nice to step out of the rhythm of your daily routine for a spell. Having half a day or a day of doing something completely different can be refreshing, invigorating and put a spring in your step again.

5 Our models over the age of 40 enjoy meeting new people – models who may be the same age as them or older or younger. Sometimes we find we are spending all our time with our family members, work colleagues and old friends – doing something different with new people for a change can be exciting every once in a while.

So what do models who already work with us think about Models Direct? Well, you can read some of their feedback here.

But, in the meantime, this is what Samantha said:

“The whole experience was so much more than I could’ve expected. Completely professional and felt supported throughout.

“I thoroughly enjoyed the day. I don’t know exactly what I was expecting as a first timer….but the environment was so comfortable.

“This was a lot easier than you would anticipate. I would highly recommend it.”

And Keith said:

“This was my very first experience working with Models Direct and the whole experience was fabulous.

“From the initial booking enquiry to the shoot itself I personally found the whole process flawless.

“Gemma kept me personally updated prior to the shoot of how the day would run which I found very reassuring.

The shoot day itself was fabulous, with a great atmosphere and a great team carrying out the shoot.

“A bonus was also the wonderful people I met who were also on the shoot. As far as I’m concerned it’s a five from me, well done Models Direct.”
