Dear Kareem,

Thank you for applying to Model Guides (www.modelguides.co.uk) Firstly, we would like to say well done for getting to this stage. Our creative team loved your photo and you have successfully passed our selection process.
Please read through this email thoroughly before confirming acceptance, as we only have a limited number of appointments and therefore only wish to invite in serious applicants. Appointments are currently open on a first come first served basis.

You have been shortlisted within your age category and we would therefore like to offer you the chance to come to one of our studios (The Studio Collective) (London, Birmingham or Manchester) in the next couple of weeks for a photo shoot. Here we can see your true potential to become a model and you will get the opportunity to work with our team of stylists, makeup artists, hairstylists, photographers and other industry professionals.

We have years of knowledge and experience which will be a great asset to you, especially as you are just starting up in the industry. We aim to help you establish the following:

What type of model you are
Which agencies would best accommodate you and your look
What tools you are going to need to get started
How to get paid work in the modelling industry
Most importantly, we can give you detailed advice and training that will help you to break into the modelling industry.

When you begin applying for agencies and looking for work, you are going to be compared to hundreds of other applicants so you will need to stand out from the crowd. To achieve this, you really need to go to an established photographic studio where you can both find out if you have what it takes.

Our studios have offered Model Guides a limited number of 4 hour photo shoots for applicants that are serious about breaking into the modelling industry. Their photographers regularly do shoots for models at top agencies like Storm (Kate Moss's agency), and big ticket fashion shoots like Topshop, Gucci, Vogue, Tatler and London Fashion Week. Celebrities their team have photographed include Sienna Miller, Jessie J and JLS.

On the day you will have 3-4 hair and makeup changes to see how versatile your look is. You will have indoor and outdoor location shoots (depending on the weather) to see how you perform in a professional environment, as well as in front of the public.

If you are successful on the day and our team feel that you have modelling potential and believe that you could go out and get paid work, you will be invited to have a consultation with one of our image consultants. They will go through all of your photos and help you work out which area/s of modelling you should pursue. If you wish to take the next step, we will then look at building you a suitable portfolio. A portfolio is your visual C.V. and will be tailored to your chosen area/s of modelling and your budget . The studio team will then match you up with a few agencies that best suit you. Ideally, in a matter of 3-4 weeks you should be signed up to an agency and getting some work coming in. All of our packages include advice and guidance about agencies, contracts, & castings, etc.

As you have been shortlisted, Model Guides covers the cost of the photo shoot for you. This will include a personal makeup artist, a hairstylist and a professional fashion photographer for that day, as well as the cost of studio hire. The portfolio service is only offered if you are successful.

Our studios are very high profile and they ask us to only bring in serious clients. In order to ensure client attendance, they do require that we take a fully refundable booking deposit of £50. As long as you turn up for the appointment, it is refunded back to you. The deposit is only lost if you (1) do not show up, or (2) are more than 30 minutes late for the appointment.

We will send you a confirmation pack through post once the appointment has been confirmed with yourself and the studio, containing a letter giving you your appointment date and time, a full written receipt of the booking deposit and a directions/map to the studios. You will also receive a confirmation email as soon as your booking is confirmed.Click here ...
