How to find a modelling agency:

Why should you choose a non-exclusive contract?

The word exclusive has a very positive feeling to it. In modelling terms, exclusivity can have quite the opposite effect on your modelling career. In simple terms, an exclusive modelling contact means that you cannot work for anyone else during the contract duration. Any modelling assignments you do MUST be through the agency, which would be very limiting especially if you're more of a get up and go kind of person who loves making new connections and making things work for themselves.

One great thing about IMAGE Models is that we don't do contracts. We realised that it was unnecessary for the types of one-off assignments we get most of the time and also very time consuming. We do ask that people register with us however to know enough about the model to be able to put their information forward to the clients who always have the last say on who they want for their shoot or commercial.

In a business where there can be 300 applicants for one assignment, and in a world where there can be 1000 applicants for one job, competition is really higher than ever. This inevitably leads to disappointment for some but those who make it tend to have very rewarding careers. If you have the look, the drive and the talent to be a model but aren't sure where to start, visit the IMAGE Models website and see what assignments are up there today. If you register to apply we'll get right back in touch with you as soon as we can.

When you’re unsure of the next steps to take in life, never limit your possibilities. Sometimes things can turn around for you very quickly – and modelling is an industry that is full of extreme stories. Working your way through the salesman mentality of some agencies can be difficult. Sometimes it might seem that rather than you being employed by them it is the other way around!

One of the main ploys that many so-called agencies use is a model casting shoot. After this they may say that you need to buy the photos or you won’t have a chance of being a model. Nothing is further from the truth! A solid modelling portfolio can have as few as 6 photos. The main ones to make sure to include are a frontal headshot, a profile headshot and the same for full body. Alongside your photos you should also include a list of your vitals, measurements, weight and so forth. From a photo alone it can be impossible to determine your size especially if there is nothing to give scale to the photo. For specific types of modelling, eg. hand or foot modelling then obviously you will need detailed pictures and it helps to have something that gives a sense of scale – perhaps wear a watch or hold a pen in a stylish way. IMAGE Models can give you direction and pointers if you get in touch. We receive dozens of enquiries each week – there’s no such thing as a bad question!
