Do you have what it takes to become a model?

Here are the simple steps it takes to find out whether modelling is right for you — and how our support works from your first application onwards.

Four steps to getting started

Let's Get Started!

No experience required

As a company, we have over 23 years' experience supporting new faces to break into the modelling industry safely and more efficiently.

That means if you are offered a professional model assessment and everything goes well on the day, we will be there to support and guide you until you are confidently working or freelancing.

How to become a model:

Build a portfolio with professional photographs.
Research trustworthy, reputable modelling agencies.
Contact the agencies that suit your look and niche.
Practise strong poses and a confident walk.
Attend the castings your agent arranges for you.
Be friendly, punctual and professional at every appointment.

There has never been a better time to become a model. With the growth of online shopping, social media and digital advertising, brands need a wider range of faces than ever before.

But it has also never been more confusing for an aspiring model to know how to get started or who to trust, now that so much of the industry has moved online. That's where honest, experienced support makes a difference.

Register today and our team will review your application. If we believe you could benefit from our support, one of our new faces team will contact you within three working days.

How UK Models can help you become a model

There's no point pursuing applications or castings until you know modelling is something you enjoy and feel confident exploring.

Steps involved

Apply online with a recent, natural photo. The form is simple: your contact details, age and postcode are all we need to begin.
Our new faces team reviews every application. This can take up to three working days.
If we feel you show potential, a member of the team will call to talk you through the next steps and answer your questions.
You may be invited to a professional assessment shoot at our studio, with hair and make-up, to see how you work in front of the camera.
We can then help you create a professional portfolio, choosing the strongest images, from full-length shots to close-ups.
We continue to support you with advice until you are confidently working or freelancing.

Frequently Asked Questions

What happens after I submit my application?

Our team reviews every application personally. You will hear back within three working days with honest feedback on whether we think you show modelling potential.

Do I need professional photos to apply?

No. A clear, natural photo taken on a phone is fine for your application. If you progress further, we can help you create professional images.

What if I have no modelling experience?

That is completely normal — most of the people we work with are brand new to modelling. We guide you through every step, from your first session to landing your first work.

Is there a height or size requirement?

No. The industry has opportunities for all body types, heights and ages. We will advise you on which types of modelling are the best fit for you.

Can I apply if I live outside a major city?

Yes. We work with aspiring models from all over the UK. Location is not a barrier to applying or getting started.
