Families – get snapping outside!

Even though we’ve expanded our professional activities to incorporate our new London office, Models Direct is still like a big family. Our staff have stayed with us for many years, putting their skills and knowledge to perfect use by engaging with registered models to assist brands with their marketing and advertising needs.   

We work so well together because of our mutual respect and camaraderie. A “big family” sums us up well, so we know what can be achieved when everyone supports each other. We’ve been in business since 1990, and our wonderful team contributes massively to our success. If you’re a well-knit, loving family, you can collectively achieve great things.

Families are integral to our rota of models. Many of our regular clients look for amiable families for all sorts of photo shoots and videos and, of course, they make Models Direct their first port of call. We’ve had business relationships with most of our vetted clients for some years now, so they know they can rely on us to recommend the most suitable models.

But a family’s relationship is a different one all-together, and one that is highly desirable for marketing purposes. Like all our jobs, family modelling assignments are rewarding and ultimately fun, as these reviews reveal. Modelling in groups can produce fantastic results on set – families, however, have a certain authenticity that shines in front of the camera.

If you’ve thought collectively about modelling – or if you’ve already tasted success as a Models Direct modelling family – the summer months are too good an opportunity to pass up when looking for perfect photos.

Snapping away outdoors has some advantages:

1. Getting up close to nature is a free happiness booster. From shaded woodland to awe-inspiring moorland landscapes, families can accentuate their portfolios and attract the attention of our famous clients for a range of outdoor advertising campaigns.

2. Outside photography doesn’t feel like a chore. It’s like taking family snaps on holiday; it just comes naturally, and most outdoor photos can be used to strengthen portfolios.

3. It’s a great opportunity to show off any personal and striking features: eye-catching tattoos and complementary jewellery. This differs from initially sending us your registration photos, where we ask for two neutral headshot images. Use the outdoor landscapes to enhance your characteristics and don’t be shy to show our clients what they could be missing out on!

We supply the best suited models to thousands of clients throughout the year. Our clients look for fantastic models of all shapes, sizes and ages to fulfil modelling assignments, and many of their briefs call for outdoor shoots and films.

The best way to attract their attention is to present your family as a proactive, fun-loving one, all the while showing them that you take modelling seriously – even if you’re happy to have a few assignments per year.

So, every time your family ventures outside – be it for a group walk, a city excursion, on holiday or simply out shopping – don’t miss out on opportunities to supplement your portfolios with current, relevant phots and reels. It could make a genuine difference between being recommended and being selected.
