Modeling work in Kidderminster
Kidderminster is a Worcestershire town south-west of Birmingham, linked to Birmingham by rail. The jurgita.com catalogue lists JEM Models under it, an agency founded in the UK in 2014. It presents itself as a boutique, hands-on mother agency with an established international presence, and has women's and men's boards.
A mother agency's work depends less on its town: it scouts new models, develops them and places them with agencies in larger markets, so the jobs themselves happen where those agencies work.
The nearest markets
- Halesowen – Valkyrie Models.
- Birmingham – AS Agency and Atlantis Modelling Agency.
- London – the main market, with fashion week and 74 catalogue agencies.
How to get started
- Take simple digitals in daylight and write down accurate measurements.
- If you already have a mother agency in Lithuania, talk to it before writing to another one: a model usually has only one. For commercial work in the region look at the Birmingham agencies, and for fashion work at those in London.
- 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.
