Our Guide to Modelling with Models Direct

Modelling isn’t just for those ready for the runway or glam photoshoots. It runs much deeper than that with the modelling recruitment process diversifying and for those who once thought it was not possible to be part of the adult modelling world, that it actually is! And this is where agencies like Models Direct step in. 


Enter everyday adult models – real, authentic people who are being included in marketing campaigns because brands are valuing something that’s beyond looks – it’s all about relatability. 
Take TikTok POV videos as an example of how reliability can play an important factor in marketing. These short clips are created with a point of view in mind and a potential audience who might be able to relate to it making it connectable and memorable. 

Apply to be a model


From a brand’s perspective, it certainly makes sense that adult models are used in marketing campaigns to help leverage it in a way that will get audiences’ attention. After all, adult models bring wisdom and lived experiences to the table in a way no other age group can. 


So, who can become a model over 18? Almost anyone interested, that’s who! You could be in your 30s, 40s, 50s and beyond and tap into a niche that makes you suitable for all those clients who want you to represent their customers. 


You don’t need to have a teeny tiny frame, strong jawline and high cheekbones. Adult modelling has taken off from there and you could easily just have a great smile, bubbly personality and be happy to try out different things. 


When it comes to working with our agency, here’s a roundup of what it’s like.
Our dedicated expert team encourages a thriving environment for models and brands alike where it’s all about positivity, confidence and achieving successful results.

Hire a model


As we draw this blog to a close, we wanted to share a few of our adult models’ testimonials so you can get a feel of what life is like as an MD model.


Our male model, Jerome, shared this with us and you!
“First shoot was a success!! Was booked for a video shoot and had a great time! Met loads of other models and actors from the agency with different levels of experience.
It was a day shoot and we had time to eat in the middle too which was good! All the staff and models were very friendly and I enjoyed speaking to everyone and hearing about the different kinds of jobs they’ve done in the past to get where they are now!
I had fun, learned a lot and got to work with amazing people so overall, the shoot was incredible considering it was my first one!!”


Isabelle, our female model said:
“Worked with interesting, lovely people! Well organised! Great experience and gave me extra confidence!”
