Questions
Frequently asked
01Do I need experience to apply from Croydon?
No. Most of our models started without experience. What matters is natural photos, honest measurements and time for castings and jobs.
02Does the application cost anything?
No. Application, admission and first polaroids are free. We earn a commission on jobs, never from you.
03How tall do I need to be?
For fashion, women from about 172 cm and men from about 184 cm. Commercial and classic have no fixed limits; the face and the presence matter more.
04Which photos should I send?
Phone photos are fine. We need to see you, not a production: daylight, neutral background, fitted clothes, no edits.
05Can I apply at 30, 40 or 50?
Absolutely. Clients book faces of all ages, and the classic category is one of our busiest.
06Can I model part-time?
Yes. Many of our models study or work. Tell us your availability early and we book around it.
07Do you also represent men?
Yes. The board has a men's division with the same categories: fashion, commercial, classic.
08What happens at the first casting?
A conversation, polaroids, measurements, a short walk. It takes about an hour, by video or in person.
