Am I too old to apply for modelling work?

You are never too old to apply to become a model!

Here at Models Direct we have a rich variety of all sorts of models of all ages.

Apply to be a model

Our models start as young as newborn babies and can be as old as those in their 80s or 90s!

Our clients, who promote a wide range of different products and services, need people of all ages to help them do that.

They need models who can pose as mums, dads, grannies and grandpas and they need people to help them advertise products specifically aimed at consumers of the same age.

These days, marketing teams not only need to tempt a broad swathe of potential purchasers to buy everything from cars and food to clothes and home accessories, but they also have specific items and services aimed at certain age groups.

Mature models might, for example, be required for promotions focusing on retirement, older people’s holidays and certain health products.

Some of our mature male and female models took part in photo and film shoots in their earlier years and are simply continuing to do what they enjoy.

For others, who are new to the industry, it is about discovering a different pastime that brings them new experiences and additional income.

But, let’s hear feedback from some of our older models themselves to see what they have enjoyed…

Ian accepted an assignment with Greene King. He said:

“After a few years spending time behind the scenes, I thought it was time to try to get back in front of the camera.

“The whole process with Models Direct was straight forward and the team were great while getting me on-boarded.

“A few months in and today marks the date of my first assignment. The shoot was well run, organised, and professional whilst relaxed and informal.

“I had the opportunity to meet many great people, some aspiring to make modelling and acting their career, while others were using it as an opportunity to earn some extra income and have fun at the same time.

“Gemma from Models Direct has been a star from first contact to the end of the shoot, remaining in communication and being accessible if needed. I look forward to the next time.”

Anthony said:

“It was a very good day…a learning curve.

“All the people I worked with were very welcoming and friendly – thank you to all.

“As I was playing the part of a client for a caring company, I was showcasing what this company offers to its elderly customers.

“I had photographs taken with a number of their carers and many other things, like exercising, cooking, gardening and going out for entertainment, including eating out and going to the cinema.

“It was a very good and enlightening day.”

And Karen modelled as part of a pretend family for Red Tractor. She told us:

“From start to finish, Gemma was fantastic at keeping me informed about the day and how best to prepare myself.

“She told me who would be there and everyone made me feel very welcome.

“My choice of outfits was appropriate and I felt we bonded well as a ‘family unit’ as per the comprehensive brief!

“The photographer was really calm and gave us useful prompts and guidance so we all felt very comfortable.

“The house setting was lovely and we were able to relax between our sessions.

“Lunch was also excellent. I’m really looking forward to my next assignment!”
