UR Models review – fitness model

Reuben Arnott – 28 years old Fitness Model-UR Models review

The Gym and weight training has always been my passion, I exercise daily and like nothing more than seeing the results. I never dreamt of using this to make an income, until a friend recommended UR Models. I had nothing to lose so I contacted them and I am glad I did. With UR Models help I have been gained loads of experience and got a portfolio I am really proud of. Since contacting UR I am now on the books of 7 agencies who specialise in Fitness modelling, I have worked with brands that I love, done shoots that have been so much fun and I have seen more of the world than I thought possible and this is all in a short amount of time, to earn money from keeping my body fit as changed my life.,. I train even harder now to maintain my modelling career but its not a task its something I love but now have turned into a career with the help from UR models. The advice I would give to anyone who wants to model is take the plunge and contact six models, they make it so easy, you learn so much and with there guidance it isn’t long before you see results and income coming in.

Holly Beard and her – UR Models read a Mums review 

Holly Beard and her mum
Holly is 7 years old and since a toddler has always had huge confidence and loved clothes, so my partner and I thought modelling would be great for her. My partner found ur models online so I contacted them and they immediately said Holly should come to a photoshoot, Holly was so excited and I have to admit so was my partner and I. we didn’t know what to expect on the day but Holly enjoyed having her make-up done and she done so well in the photo shoot that the photographer said Holly is a dream to work with, she listen and done as she was told. The photos were out of the world, we really couldn’t be happier. We took all the advice on board that ur models gave us and contacted them whenever we got lost, we contact three agencies and two have already taken Holly on. Holly loves modelling, she is meeting other children her same age, getting to travel and be part of some great work, ur models have really helped turn this into a bright future for Holly. I was always nervous about where to start but ur models made us feel at ease straight away, they know everything about the modelling industry and no matter what question we had they knew the answer. My advice to any parent wanting there child to start modelling is contact ur Models, that’s all the help you’ll ever need. Holly is one happy little girl and we couldn’t be more proud.

UR models…Scam or real?

UR models…Scam or real?

UrModels knows that the modelling industry is daunting and very confusing, its vast and it can make aspiring models very vulnerable which leads to mistrusting and getting scammed. We have put together some advice and tips to help you avoid being scammed and be able to go on to model success with confidence and much needed knowledge. Our Modelling platform is dedicated to new models and their safety. Please read on and make note of all the key areas.

Like with any new territory always approach modelling with caution and always do your research, this is the key to success. Ur Models knows all the tools needed and we only work with industry professionals.

Tips and General advice by Ur Models team 

  • Agency scams: In October 2010 there was a law passed in the UK which now means it is illegal for any adult modelling agency to charge up front fees. Always keep this in mind and if you are approached and they say different, it is a scam and you should not proceed with further communication.
  • Ur Models wants to make you aware that this is not the case with child agencies so this is where things get slightly confusing and it can be a little harder to separate the scams out from the legit companies. The reason this is different is your are paying to have a child image legally placed on their site, there are so many tight rules and regulations to protect to children that this registration fee is put in place, its a form of consent and contract. If you are approached always do your homework and talk to industry experts like ourselves.
  • Modelling platform v Modelling agency- These are often confused but they are very different, so make your self aware of the differences and always keep this in mind. A Modelling agency is someone who signs you to their books, they then pursue work for you and take a percentage from the job you do, no fees are paid from you to them they deal directly with your employer. A Modelling platform is like us here at Ur Models we are FREE advice service which helps you on every step to becoming a model, we direct you to the best photographers and agencies whilst giving you vital advice. By coming to industry experts like us you avoid getting scammed.
  • You can be signed to several different agencies at one time and this is called a non-exclusive contract, enabling you to get different work by different means. Ur Models always advises models to read over any contract properly and get a second opinion, you need to look after your rights and safety.
  • No company can guarantee you work and if they do they are likely to a scam, like any industry it takes work and dedication. To get work you have to fit the clients brief, its as simple as that. Sadly you wont fit every brief so nothing is guaranteed.
  • Always be wary of photographers who approach you on line, like on social media this is not the done thing and when they ask for a lot of money up front they are scamming you. Its dangerous to go meet someone you don’t know and you risk losing a lot of money. Again UR Models stress the importance of doing your homework and keeping you wits about you. Even if they show you examples this does not mean they legit, this can be someone else’s work.

Please read over everything and always keep this information to hand, Ur Models are here to help and guide you. If you need any further assistance or advice please do not hesitate to contact us. We are a FREE service dedicated to all aspiring models.

UR Models Review

UR Models Review

UR Models Review – A step by step of our ‘Undercover’ experience of UR Models.

1) Application & Website

Their website www.ur-models.co.uk – Attractive website

They had an online registration form which was easy to do but reading through their packages was mind boggling!!

2) Phone Call, Emails & Deposit.

After the form it was long till I got a phone call from a polite lady. She wanted me to come in to studio and I have to be honest was a little pushy and over keen, in any normal circumstance that would put me of. There was refundable deposit which again she was keen to take but I paid via my bank card. I got a receipt for payment which eased some concerns.

3) Test shoot Day

I went for the shoot at a London studio, which was highly enjoyable and the staff were friendly. The quality of the photos were great and I have to say experience was a good one over all. As I was doing a investigation I didn’t purchase the photos and was refunded the initial deposit in a good time frame as well, as I was concerned it would take some time after the lady was so keen to get it.

Even though I am some doubts at the start I have to Say UR Models is a great stepping block for any aspiring model, they do as you they say will they just came across a little keen at first but I think that was my own Human doubt kicking in, when really they just know their industry and are keen to helping wannabe models

model scams

Scammers and scamming is part of the modelling world, always will be and sadly will continue. These scammers prey on the vulnerable, models who have no clue about the industry then they shattered the dreams, ruin confidence and take a lot of money, all of which hurts anyone. They normally asked for a huge amount of money up front with no intention of delivering any service or product. Others persuade models to join the agency but again for a fee, which is not right and illegal. They could also ask a model to pose in a provocative way and giving the model no rights to image or there use, this can be very upsetting and ruin a models hope of being a professional. To avoid this awful scenarios or being hurt you should research and understand the industry as whole, knowledge is your best weapon.

Scammers/con artists are clever they pose to be agencies or reputable companies, feeling model hopefuls with dreams and hope, so be wary they will appear trust worthy when in fact they are your biggest enemy. If they approach you online, through social media or email again this signals warning signs as any professional company would not do this, so ignore it, block them or report them if it continues. It remains your responsibility to check if you are in safe hands or a parent if it is a child model.

Before accepting any modelling deal or agency contract carry out research and talk to professionals who know the business, the internet is a great source for information as you will find vital contacts and blogs often have people’s reviews. A legit legal document will give you control of where you images are used, so always ask for this after shoots, it’s your rights as a model after all the images are of you. There are some great advice companies out there and most who are free, so talk to them and be confident you are in good hands.

Your safety and safe guarding your career is imperative to success and sub staining a great path in modelling. Do not put yourself in situations where you feel anxious, scared or pressured, this should never be the case, professionals act professionals and work with a model not against them. Remember missing out on a opportunity you are unsure of is not a opportunity in the first place!
