FAQs
Questions, answered plainly
Hiring models
How do I hire a model in the UK?
Browse the Women and Men boards, shortlist the models that fit your brief, and send a booking request with your dates, location, usage and budget. We confirm each model's availability and come back with real options. You can also send a general brief and let us propose models.
What information do you need to book a model?
The shoot or event date, start and finish times, the location, what the model will be doing, how the images or footage will be used (media, territory and duration), and your budget or rate expectation. The booking request form walks through exactly these questions.
How much does hiring a model cost?
Rates depend on the model, the length of the booking and the usage rights. A short e-commerce shoot and a national advertising campaign are priced very differently even with the same model. Send the brief and we will quote clearly, with usage itemised, before anything is confirmed.
Is a model booked once I submit a request?
No. A request starts the process: we check availability, agree the rate and usage with you, and only then confirm the booking in writing. You will never be committed by a form submission.
Can you find models near a specific location?
Yes. Our models are based across the UK and beyond, and travel is agreed as part of the booking. Tell us the location in your request and we prioritise models who are close or already travelling.
Joining the agency
How do I apply to the agency?
Use the online application: it takes about ten minutes, works on your phone, and saves as you go. Have professional photos ready: a recent headshot, a full-length and a side profile. Every application is reviewed personally.
Do I need professional photos to apply?
No. Clear phone photos in daylight are exactly what we want: a headshot, a full-length photo and a side profile, with no heavy filters or make-up.
I am under 18. Can I apply?
Yes, with a parent or guardian involved. The application collects guardian consent, and no minor's profile is ever published without a guardian's signed agreement.
