Models Direct, connecting models to clients!
Our model agents have experience in modelling, the arts, languages, photography, fashion, studio and location shoots and care passionately about the models we represent. Our business is staffed by real people, here everyday for you. You have your own dedicated model agent who will look after you, for as long as you are with us.
Local, regional and national…
Clients view all our models that match the look they are searching for – bigger selection for clients, more chance for you, local, regional, national, even international, with expenses paid, if you are happy to travel. If you’re selected we’ll offer you the job and agree the fee. You decide ‘yes’ or ‘no’. Simple as that.
Not all ‘modelling agencies’ are the same…
Beware of online ‘showcase companies’, they are not ‘Employment Agencies’. UK law says, they have to admit they ‘do not actively find work’. You may notice this admission, buried deep in small print. Models Direct however, is an ‘Employment Agency’. This means we are Government regulated, inspected and permitted to find paid work, for people registered with us. We have done this successfully since 1990.

Why choose Models Direct?
The modelling industry is very competitive indeed. There are plenty of clients looking for models for specific assignments, every day. We offer you two very distinct advantages.
First, unlike most model agencies, we offer our clients (and therefore you) national coverage. This means that if a client in another part of the country is looking for a model who matches your look, we will put you forward for the assignment if you are prepared to travel, expenses paid. This has the distinct benefit of offering our client exactly the selection of models they need (when sometimes it’s difficult to find the right models through local agencies) whilst also ensuring that you don’t miss out on being put forward for modelling assignments just because the client is based in another part of the country.
Secondly, because we cover every key modelling category and a huge range of looks, we have developed a reputation with clients as being the agency which is able to deliver. This means that clients are much more likely to come to us when they have very specific requirements, because we’re likely to be able to find exactly what they’re looking for, or urgent needs, because we have such a wide selection of models who can work at short notice, or even more demanding requirements, such as multi-location assignments, or assignments involving many models.
We’re in the business of connecting models with business every day. If you’re curious about some of the clients we’ve worked with, take a look at the logos below…

Your frequently asked questions answered
Q. How do I get work?
A. As soon as we receive a request from a client relating to a specific assignment, we will help them select a shortlist of models that have precisely the look that they are after. Once a client is vetted and approved by us they can also do this directly themselves online, and you will be included whenever your look is called for. If the client then selects you for their final shortlist, we will get in touch with you and let you know the details of the assignment and model fee immediately, so that you can choose whether to accept the assignment.
Q. What sort of clients and assignments do you have?
A. We are approached by clients every day. Our clients include very well known brands, marketing and advertising agencies working for big businesses, smaller businesses, designers, photographers, film makers and more. Our assignments include photo shoots, filming (for television commercials, TV shows, promotional videos and more) fashion and promotional events.
Q. How quickly will I get work?
A. It’s really important that you have realistic expectations about your modelling career. While we are committed to doing everything we can to ensure that you are put forward for any opportunity where your look is called for, it doesn’t mean that you’re guaranteed work. The decision always lies with the clients and we do not make any guarantees to you as to if or how often you will be selected. However, some models have had assignments within weeks, or even days of registering. And we’ve had plenty of models who have had repeat or multiple assignments.
Q. What can I do to increase my chances of being chosen by a client?
A. There are a number of things you can do to increase the likelihood of being chosen, which can easily be managed by you:• Update your profile: It’s critical that you ensure that your online profile is always completely up to date. Because our clients have very specific requirements, any information you provide by way of updates may well influence their decision to select you. For example, your measurements or hair colour will quite possibly change over just a matter of a few months. Make sure you update that information in your profile as there may be a client looking for precisely that “look” and it would be a shame for you to miss that opportunity.
• Use great quality photos: The photos that you upload onto your profile are incredibly important. When a client is looking for a specific look, the statistics that you enter about you are used to create the shortlist, but ultimately the photo is really important. We don’t demand that you have photos professionally taken as we know that this costs money, and we’ve found that it’s not always necessary, but you should ensure that any photos of you are crisp, clear and really do show your defining features. We’ll depend on you to update pictures when your look changes.
Q. How have other models found Models Direct?
A. Generally speaking, the feedback that we get from models that are selected for assignments is that they are thrilled with the work that they’ve received, they thoroughly enjoy the day (or days) and they are looking forward to their next assignment. We do have many models who have received repeat assignments. However, you need to have realistic expectations. It is quite possible that you will be selected for an assignment, and even for multiple assignments during the three year period. But we have had models who have missed out on being selected. By taking our advice you’ll ensure that you will have every chance of being found by a client for an upcoming assignment.
