There are lots of ways of looking for modelling work but by far the easiest is to work through a genuine, trusted, government-regulated agency such as Models Direct.
Of course, you can respond to adverts for models yourself, but having a reputable agency to represent you and act in your best interests at all times has many benefits.
Firstly, you know they will investigate every client and every assignment carefully, ensuring the safety of their female, male and child models.
Furthermore, they will negotiate a fair fee for you – and ensure you are paid promptly after completion of the booking.
Sadly, we at Models Direct hear all too many sad stories of people who have responded to advertisements for models but never end up getting paid.
An authentic, modelling agency such as Models Direct will not only do all of this on your behalf but will also actively seek work for you.
Any individual or company that is not a legitimate employment agency is not legally allowed to seek work on behalf of those working with it.

Any experienced models or new models who are wondering how to find work should always do their research thoroughly – and should read the small print on any website carefully.
By digging deeper, they may well find that a so-called “agency” is actually nothing of the kind.
Other ways of finding modelling work include networking with other models and putting the feelers out to marketing companies and photographers.
You can also follow the relevant people and organisations on social media and keep an eye on jobs boards.
And please, please remember that even if the job you find has not been offered to you through Models Direct, we are always happy to represent any of our models.
Once you have joined us, you are part of our team and if you see a modelling job that interests you, let us know and we can check it out for you.
We can also negotiate on your behalf and ensure you are paid.
Here at Models Direct, our agents are also always busy receiving requests from our incredible range of clients and finding just the right models to put forward for their assignments.
We build on the strong relationships we have developed over the past 35 years with the many, many companies, brands and organisations that use models.
And we reach out to new clients on a daily basis, pushing out in every direction to find all kinds of different and exciting assignments to offer our models.
Read through some of our other blogs and reviews to find out more about these and what our models enjoyed about them.
Modelling is a competitive industry and – like any genuine agency – we can never fully guarantee to match every model with a job.
But joining a longstanding, reputable agency like Models Direct will give you the very best chance of finding work, while also ensuring you are looked after at all times.
This is what Natalie said after an assignment through us:
“My whole family did a shoot for a global tech company and everything was so perfectly organised.

“Thanks again for the opportunity!”
