We consider feedback about Talent Management modelling to be very important. It gives us a chance to hear how our models really feel about the assignments that they have been involved in and it gives them a voice. Teen male model Mahatir had lots to say about his recent TM modelling work with FIFA, and we are delighted that he gained so much from the experience.

“It was fun being a model for the day despite the fact that I was feeling very nervous beforehand as I had never done it before. I very much enjoyed the experience and will happily do it again.

“The most enjoyable part of the assignment was when I was up on set posing for the pictures, we were asked to pose as football spectators. We changed into lots of different clothes as the pictures had to seem as generic as possible. We were then put into different groups all representing a different team with a change of colours. We were told that these pictures would be used for the next FIFA World Cup.

“I would recommend this experience to others as it is good for increasing confidence and it is enjoyable! My advice to anyone wishing to pursue work in this industry – be very proactive. It is important to always be alert and to constantly search for the right opportunities.

“It is probably a good move to join an agency as they are the ones who keep their eyes open for the best opportunities. I personally have not been very proactive in looking for work or in updating my portfolio, which I believe has been my downfall. Had I done so; I probably would have got a job a lot sooner.

“I personally chose to join Talent Management as I have ambition and wish to gain all the experience I can, which will hopefully one day be useful in assisting me to become a world renowned journalist!”
