UK Models are recognised as the ‘UK’s number one model
support service’ with hundreds of new models scouting out their services every
week. Boasting twelve years industry
experience and with studios in the centre of London, they offer a selection of
specialist services that enable aspiring models to promptly move their career
forward.
As many people will know, models use portfolios on a
day-to-day basis, whether they’re approaching agencies in the hope of being
signed or contacting brands in the hope of being employed. UK Models not only
offer a professional environment that models can have their portfolio pictures
taken in, they further their service by providing a series of industry standard
portfolio packages (from traditional hardback books to contemporary
website-style portfolios that are known in the industry as eFolios). Together
with their team of established professionals – photographers, make-up artists,
stylists – knowledge and honest approach, UK Models are recognised for the support
that they offer to anyone who shows interest and potential in pursuing a
modelling career.
The process is a smooth and easy to access option. Aspiring guys and girls (or parents of child models) are invited to register their interest with UK Models by filling out a basic online form, or if preferred, they can access this via the new UK Models app. By submitting a recent and clear headshot and basic contact details (so that UK Models can get in touch with them should their application be successful) he or she will have taken their first simple step to starting their career.
At the other end of the application, a member of the UK
Models New Faces team will look over the submission with a professional eye,
and if they see potential, they will invite he or she down to the UK Models
London based studios.
Upon arrival, the model will enjoy a day’s worth of
professional styling and make-up, followed by a series of industry standard
photo shoots both inside (in a variety of studio situations) and on location,
weather dependent!
At the end of the day a trained image consultant will sit
down and discuss the day with him/her and together they will look over their
photographs. If the model both enjoyed the day and photographed well, the next
step will involve creating a high-standard portfolio that they can take to
future castings and interviews.
At the end of the day a model can walk away knowing not only
what it is like to work in a professional environment but that their main
career tool has been taken care of.
Because of the twelve-year stretch that UK Models have been in existence for, their model support service has gained great recognition for its professional, honest approach that allows models to create the highest standard of portfolio. Together with this fact and their team of impeccably talented staff (from photographers and assistants to hair stylists, fashion stylists and make-up artists) UK Models are able to offer the very best in photo shoot locations, modern technology and industry standard pictures, thus giving models the best chance of finding success.
Their reputation is strengthened because of their diverse
range of services. Appreciating that every man, woman and child have varying
needs (and that the modelling industry is one of the most fast-moving and
contemporary industries known to mankind) UK Models are also able to offer a
variety of portfolio packages. On top of the traditional book-style portfolios
and the modern eFolios, UK Models extend their services with Z-cards (the model
equivalent to a business card), portfolio prints and CDs filled with
professional pictures that allow limitless redistribution.
To this day, UK Models continue to grow in their services
and ultimately their success of supporting new models in the industry.
