Modeling work in Brighton
Brighton is a city on the south coast of England that forms a single council area with Hove. The jurgita.com catalogue lists Fresh Agents here: it describes itself as a modelling and casting agency established in 1999 and is run by the company Fresh Agents Limited. Its office is on Brunswick Street East. The agency has women's, men's, mature, curve, sport, kids', commercial and talent boards.
That range of boards points to mostly commercial work: advertising, catalogues, e-commerce and television. Fashion week and fashion castings take place in London.
The nearest markets
- London – the main market, with fashion week and 74 catalogue agencies; the train from Brighton takes about an hour.
- Berkhamsted – two agencies working in the London market, north-west of the capital.
How to get started
- Take simple digitals in daylight and write down accurate measurements.
- For commercial work on the south coast the local agency fits. For fashion and runway work, pick a few agencies in London and only travel once you have been invited to meet.
- Apply through each agency's official channels. Under UK rules an agency may not charge a fashion or photographic model any upfront fee, not even for a place on its website. Being asked to pay for registration or a compulsory shoot is a sign of a modeling scam.
- A Lithuanian citizen needs permission to work in the UK, and an ETA on its own is not enough. Permissions, contracts, tax and the rules for minors are covered on the United Kingdom agencies page.
