Models, would-be models and all those interested in the fashion industry are highly likely to be on Instagram already – and if they aren’t, then they should be!
There are so many benefits to this social media platform for those who work within our industry, from using it to showcase their work through to keeping in touch and making new connections.
It can be a great way of finding out about potential jobs, picking up tips from others and giving those you want to promote yourself to, the chance to see you as you want to be seen.
At Models Direct we encourage all our models to follow us on Instagram!
That way you can view our stories, enjoy our highlights, keep on top of our news and find regular links to our many helpful blogs….
You can also find out more about what goes on behind the scenes at our assignments and follow our models of all ages when they step out in front of the camera.
Through Instagram you can view final footage and stills from our models’ commercial and lifestyle work, giving you real insight into the clients we work with and the jobs we book for.
You can see our own professional staff in action too – as we often post snippets of our team members as they go about their daily business.
All in all, it’s a great way to find out how we work – and how you will work – if you join us.
In recent times, Instagram has also become an invaluable tool for our models and, indeed, for those working in the modelling industry right across the world.
From well-known names to those just starting out, most models use it as a platform through which to showcase their work.
Many even set up a dedicated account for their modelling, where they post their own behind the scenes photos and footage, as well as the final, edited piece of work.
This might be a film, commercial, promotional video, brochure, website or even product packaging.
All of this can be displayed colourfully and professionally on Instagram, so the platform almost becomes like a secondary e-portfolio for you.
The explosion in social media over recent years has brought many benefits to both experienced models and those hoping to break into the industry.
The trick is to use it carefully and sensibly, making it work for you and helping you get to where you want to be! If you have any questions regarding this please don’t hesitate to ask one of the team.
