Whether you are a Chelmsford model who already works with Models Direct or someone who is considering joining us, it might be time to get your camera out.
We always encourage our existing models to keep their e-portfolios looking fresh and up to date by uploading a selection of new images every so often.
And what better time is there than the present?
Models from Chelmsford who are thinking about dipping their toes into the worlds of male or female modelling – or mums and dads who are considering registering their little ones for baby or child modelling – will also need a picture or two.
When you join Models Direct, we ask you to fill in a form and upload an image too.
Later, when you sign up with us we will give you access to your very own e-portfolio, where you can add and refresh pictures as time goes on.
So why is it important to update these images regularly?
Well, as we all know, babies, toddlers and children develop quickly – and it’s not unusual for the rest of us to change our hairstyle or our look or to lose or gain weight from time to time.
None of this matters at all – our clients are seeking a wide variety of different Chelmsford models to reflect the diverse people who make up the general public.
But it is essential that when you are selected for an assignment you still look the same as in your e-portfolio.
So where should models start when thinking about where to take pictures in and around Chelmsford?
Staging your photo shoot out in the fresh air can be a great way to overcome the challenges of indoor lighting, shadows and unimpressive backdrops.
Choose a nice bright day, therefore, and head out with your smartphone – and a friend who is happy to play photographer – to find some scenic natural locations.
Chelmsford and the surrounding Essex area have a wealth of options to consider…
Central Park – one of the oldest public parks in Chelmsford – could be a great choice. Here you will find more than 35 acres of parkland, as well as meadow and nature reserve areas.
Pose by colourful flowerbeds, leafy trees or the river…
Head out of Chelmsford to the Hylands Estate if you have the option. Free to the public, this features almost 580 acres of historic parkland, as well as woodland, gardens and a lake.
If you are going for chic and elegant in your pictures, this could be just perfect for you!
Those heading out of the city might also like to find a picturesque spot beside the River Chelmer, which runs from Debden to the Blackwater Estuary.
The Blackwater Estuary itself – and perhaps Mersea Island – might make for some more dramatic shots for anyone seeking a more coastal backdrop for their Essex shoot.
Have fun when you are about and about taking shots and follow our tips – and then choose the very best pictures when you get home afterwards.
For those who are still trying to decide whether to join Models Direct, fill in our form, send us a photo and someone will call you to discuss how it all works.
You can ask all the questions you like about what working with a Chelmsford modelling agency is like.
And, of course, you can also read the many reviews from our existing models to see what they have to say too!
