Mature modelling brings with it so many wonderful benefits – and for many of our older models, the most important of these is the opportunity to boost confidence.
As we get older, it can be very easy to lose sight of who we are.
We might have retired from the careers we enjoyed or jobs that perhaps defined us in many ways.
Our children may have stretched their wings and flown off to enjoy their own lives – as, of course, we want them to – and perhaps our hobbies, pastimes and interests have changed too.
All these things can contribute to a lessening or even a loss of confidence, and it is not always easy to find ways of rediscovering this.
For some people, however, mature modelling can be the answer.
Our mature male and female jobs are selected for assignments from our shortlist of suitable candidates by clients who have picked them because they seem perfect.
Well, that is an immediate confidence booster, isn’t it?

Then, our mature models take themselves off on a new adventure.
They spend a few hours – or even a day or possibly perhaps a few days – doing something they have in all likelihood never done before…
And 99% of the time, they find they enjoy it and they are really good at it!
They meet different people from all sorts of backgrounds; they visit new places, and they learn about an industry they have probably never been involved with before.
And they are rewarded for their hard work with a few extra pounds in their pocket.
No wonder they come back to us afterwards, brimming with confidence and enthused by their experiences.
If you are an older person who thinks they might be interested in finding out more about modelling with us, take some time to read some of these reviews.
Elizabeth, for example, who was whisked off abroad by mannequin company Window France, told us:
“I am just back from my first assignment with Models Direct.
“What a great experience – an all-expenses paid trip to the South of France for a photo shoot and 3D imaging, featuring wonderful and outlandish clothes.
“Mostly Dolce and Gabbana with the odd high street number thrown in.
“Charlie at Models Direct couldn’t have been more helpful, checking every step of the way that I was happy and being well looked after.
“I have some great pictures and can’t wait to do some more ‘work’ like this.
“Thanks, Models Direct.”
And Gavin, who took part in a shoot for Santander, said:
“There was excellent communication from Models Direct for my assignment in Greenwich, with lots of notice as to what to do and where to be, so I felt very confident on the day.
“It was a really nice client to spend the day with, completing lots of shots for an internal promotion scheme.
“There was easy-to-follow direction, plus clear ideas regarding images and location and a patient approach to the end.
“I was really impressed all round with the client and the agency and am looking forward to more to come in the future.”
Anthony, for example, who has taken part in several shoots, including sessions for Morrisons and Greene King, added:
“I love being a model because it is so varied.
“I always say to people who express an interest in modelling or starting something else that is new, you have to put yourself forward.
“If you don’t try, then you will never know what might have come of it.”
