We’ve been lucky to witness the rise in plus size models, and the success of our mature models. The trends generally reflect the demand in the market, but also reflect our general mindsets as human beings.

Same sex models are not new, but they are growing at a rate that means we can offer more opportunities for many more loving couples of the same sex.

If there was any kind of stigma attached to same sex couples, we like to think that it vanished sometime a long time ago – possible in the 1980s. It’s not particularly vital to know when mass bigotry largely evaporated; what is important is that same sex couples in any walk of life are accepted as exactly what they are: two people who love each other, wanting to lead enriching lives. Indeed, a 2023 YouGov poll revealed that 78% of Brits supported same sex marriage. This, it could be argued, should be higher, although it’s an encouraging percentage because just 12 years previously that figure was just 42%. It’s quite an improvement, and there’s no reason why that figure shouldn’t increase in the coming years. 

Most worldwide brands like to engage with everyone. They want to do this so that they appeal to everyone – not just a select few thousands, but multi-millions. With the increased inclusivity over the last couple of decades or so comes an increase in goods, services and campaigns – most requiring marketing and models.

We’ve been experts at placing the right models with the right companies since our conception. We’re looking to place far more same sex couples in exciting modelling jobs right across the UK – and even abroad, should the need arise.

Just as family modelling continues to soar, we expect same sex modelling to rise accordingly.

Same sex models do not need to be married. If they are – great. But it’s not essential. They just need to be of the same sex and have a devoting connection that shines through in front of a camera. They’ll need all the attributes of successful models, of course – enthusiasm, flexibility and confidence to name just three – but we’re sure you’ll know this already.

Male or female same sex couples have more chance than ever of becoming models. Now is the time to act if you really want to become one. Modelling shouldn’t be done on a whim, and we don’t recommend anyone thinking about becoming a model just because they’ve read glossy magazines or seen TV adverts of famous perfumes or the latest fashions. These models have their place, and we appreciate their value, but we’re a modelling employment agency specialising in the best and most well-paid commercial modelling jobs in the country. That’s why everyone can achieve big things with us.

If you have the realistic desire to become a model, have a read through our website, scan our reviews, or contact our team. It’ll be the first step towards realising your dream with your partner.

Couples – we need you! https://www.modelsdirect.org.uk/couples-we-need-you/ Wed, 25 Sep 2024 10:40:26 +0000 https://www.modelsdirect.org.uk/?p=3906 A lot of things are better when they come in twos. Socks, fish and chips and Ant & Dec are just a small selection of pairs we’d never imagine being on their own – heaven forbid! 

Modelling may not seem like an obvious choice to add to the list above, but we often receive many jobs requiring couples of all ages. Pretty much all our clients have at some point needed two models for a variety of assignments, so we’re appealing to real-life couples to realise their dream of earning good money working with top brands throughput the UK.   

The merits of modelling as couples are obvious. Modelling is an incredibly fun way to earn extra money – the plethora of reviews highlight this. Often, couples have even more fun, as they can make memories by trying something new, or indeed continue to strengthen portfolios by adding more photos to attract the attention of more clients.

Whether you’re an experienced modelling couple or new to the industry, our clients are always eager to see what you have to offer. We have had plenty of requests for couple models, and we’re lucky enough to have a list of talent that can pose as couples. However, as smoothly as those assignments have gone, requests for real-life couples regularly land in our inbox – the demand is there, so the only question for couples is, “Why couldn’t we do that?”

The answer is that you both could, and it’s probably easier than you’d imagine.

We’ll highlight three different requests from clients requiring two models apiece to give you an idea what couples can expect:

  • Earlier in the year we were asked to source a real-life couple between the ages of 20 – 55 years. They were needed for a bridal photo shoot, so clearly the chemistry a real couple has was essential for the assignment.   
  • A recent promotional shoot required a mother and daughter to pose in front of the cameras. Family modelling is always an effective way to reach out to audiences, so whether two models pretend to be a real couple, or a genuine family couple is chosen, these types of assignments are always popular.
  • We were asked to put forward a parent-and-child combo for a health and fitness shoot. Couples can really bring a shoot to life, crammed with smiles, hugs and genuine affection that shines on assignment.

We’ve provided numerous couples for our clients, and their popularity is increasing – just as most other types of models are. We’ve seen no slump in the demand for models, and couples are as highly sought after as they’ve ever been.  

As much as two strangers can pose as a couple with great results, there’s no substitute for real-life couples. Same gender couples, mature married couples, newly-weds…we’d love to hear from any couple that wants to dip their collective toes in the world of commercial modelling. All it takes is a little confidence, a dose of research, and a quick application. Before long, we could be recommending you to hundreds of our clients, and who knows, you may get the nod and be rocking it in real life as a modelling couple.
