London Model Agency

Our brand new London Model Agency (LMA) launched at the start of February 2012.

As part of Gibsons Photography, LMA has the backing of one of the UK's longest established professional studios with over 60 years experience and reputation to back it up.

Why Now?

After many years recruiting models for other agencies, we decided to take the plunge and do it for ourselves.

The spread of the internet means it's now relatively easy to promote the agency and the models we recruit to a world-wide audience.

The launch schedule

We're recruiting fast and building a robust portfolio of models.

- Partly by speaking to models we already know

- Partly through a direct advertising campaign

- Partly through a modelling contest

We expect to launch to clients in May, by which time we'll have 150-200 models on our books, all photographed and easily searchable through the clean, modern LMA interface.

Our plans for London Model Agency

LMA is intended to include a wider range of models than the industry norm. We're exclusively recruiting girls aged 16yrs and over at the moment, but that will be expanded as the agency finds it's feet.

Genres range from commercial, fashion and fine art models, through mainstream glamour, topless and Playboy style adult to erotica and fetish models. We also want plus and petite, ethnic and hands, feet, etc models.

Are we for real?

Absolutely!

While we're clearly aware of the many modeling scams on the internet, this is not one of them.

How can you tell? It's easy really:

- We don't charge for registration

- We don't charge for photoshoots

- We earn commission on jobs we book

That means we're investing in the business and taking all the risks ourselves. In return, we get to be as selective as we want about who we accept onto our books, so if you want to apply, you must satisfy our criteria.

- We only want girls we think will get work, otherwise we would be wasting our time and money promoting them.

- We only want girls who are as reliable and determined to succeed as we are. We won't risk the reputation of the agency on unreliable or unprofessional models.

How to apply

There are two main routes to application.

Visit London Model Agency and click the registration link. You'll be asked to fill in the application form and also to submit some pictures for eavluation.

Pictures may be professional images or snapshots, so long as they are recent and clearly show your face & figure.

If we like what we see, we'll ask you to come in for a photoshoot to get your listing active on the LMA site.

Right now, studio time is at a premium and we're booking these sessions up to three weeks ahead.

or

Visit London ModelGirl where the initial signup process is much easier. This is a contest we are running as an alternative means of recruitment. We've found some real gems this way over the years.

Often, ModelGirl entrants look fantastic but have never been professionally photographed before. They may have modelling career aspirations but don't know where to start and are worried about rejection. The contest is an easy, risk-free way to see if they have what it takes.

To enter, just submit the application form. We'll invite you for a (free) small test photoshoot where you'll get a little experience and we'll get to see if you have what we want.

We don't ask for pictures before we see you because that scares a lot of nervous but otherwise good potential models off. At worst, we waste half an hour of studio time on an unsuitable girl. At best, we discover a treasure we might never have found otherwise, so it's worth the gamble to us.

So, what are you waiting for?

You're one of thousands and you have to push yourself forward to be seen!
