Based just West of London in Pinewood Studios, for child models we are classed as a London Agency and all modelling jobs are for in and around the London area. We can therefore unfortunately only accept child models onto our books who are able to easily access London as experience has shown us that it is just too far and impractical for models to travel from other parts of the country. Adult models are welcome to apply from anywhere in the country as we do get jobs all over for adults.
If you would like to apply to the agency please read the following information and then proceed to fill in the on-line application form, or send us your application on email or through the post. Please note, no agency, ourselves included, can guarantee work for yourself or your child. Although we would not accept you onto the books if we did not feel we would be able to get you work, ultimately it is the clients, casting directors and ad agencies who make the final decisions on each assignment. A model on our books need not necessarily look like Kate Moss or Brad Pitt (or a younger version of such), quite often a client will be looking for an individual who is ’quirky’, ’different’ or ’unusual’
Modelling can be tough; Yourself or your child (and you accompanying) may have to attend many castings (auditions) in many locations in and around London before being chosen for a job. Dedication is required by yourself for modeling as an adult or in child Modelling, dedication is required by parent and child. If a child model is to succeed the parent/chaperone must be reliable, punctual and efficient. No matter how good a child may be, they must have the backing of a responsible adult who is able to be flexible and take them along to castings, often at very short notice. Please also be aware that although a child’s education is obviously of highest priority, occasionally times for casting and jobs can unavoidably clash with school hours.
Money can vary greatly in the industry and ranges from expenses only being paid on certain jobs to earnings in the hundreds or thousands in other. As a rule Adults get paid more than children, the range of monies can be as diverse for both though. As an adult, most of the models on our books are in the industry full time and understand the ups and downs that come with it. Children are of course just pursuing modeling as an interest as the main focus with a child is their schooling. Please DO NOT get involved in child modelling if all you are after is financial reward. We encourage you get involved to let your child have the experience and treat the financial reward as a bonus.
There is no charge to join the Agency as an Adult Model (aged 16 and over), there is a £25.00 one off admin charge to join the Agency as a Child. This is not payable until we have offered you a place with the agency and you have accepted.
Once you have applied we will endeavor to review your application within 7 working days. If you or your child has the kind of look which we know photographers and casting directors want we will be happy to progress and will send you out registration information and forms to sign. We will not take anyone onto our books if we feel we cannot get them work.
