Every day, modelling agencies like us are approached by companies who need male models for various campaigns. In fact, we have found that requests for male models are becoming more common.

If you are a man considering a career as a male model you have probably already thought about the kind of work that you feel would suit you. It could be that you believe you would do well in fashion modelling, or you may prefer the buzz of promotional modelling work; which often means interracting with the public, and can be great for those with a big personality.

Models Direct model David told us of his promotional modelling assignment: “I really enjoyed the modelling assignment at the Ricoh arena. I was asked to help promote Aaduki, an insurance company. I was dressed in the Aaduki branded shorts and spoke to visitors handing out promotional literature. The best thing about the assignment was the opportunity to engage with a section of the public that I have not worked with previously and the chance to meet some really interesting people. I particularly enjoyed working with my on site contact who I found to be very helpful and fun to work with.”

Whichever way you decide to go there could be a client asking us for your look right now, regardless of your age or shape, as Models Direct is known for the diverse models that we have on our books and is not limited by age, weight or height restrictions. Modelling with us means that expensive training courses and costly professional images are not necessary. We know that clients only need to see a couple of clear photos to decide whether or not you are right for the job. Many of our models simply ask a friend or family member to take some shots of them and choose the best two or three to upload to our site; including a head shot and a body shot.

Securing modelling work is great for gaining confidence and making extra money doing really enjoyable work.

Charles recently wrote to tell us how he felt about his first Models Direct job: “I felt it was a productive day which gave me a good understanding of what I am to do as a model. Being a model was nerve racking to start with but after a few shots and getting to know the other models, it was a fun day. I had pictures taken in different scenarios as friends out at the pub. The best thing about the assignment was the photographer was very helpful and easy to along with. Some thing I would say to someone thinking of being a model is its a good way of making some extra money as well as meeting new people and gaining new experiences.”
