Models Wanted by Kube Studios

If you are passionate about becoming a top model like David Gandy or Tyra Banks then you need all the help you can get. Walking down any high street you will see good looking people who may have what it take to model. 

What is stopping them from becoming models? Circumstances? Time? Money? The only real thing stopping them is passion. It is passion and love of modelling which drives them, they also have to be passionate in themselves.

Self belief is the key to success in any field, especially modelling. Competitive attitudes and resilience are as important as looks. Looks may get you in the door, if you have the right photos, but it's your attitude that keeps you there.

Male Modelling Advice from Kube Studios

Male Modelling Advice

As male models, men are being used more often in advertisements as the modern man becomes more style conscious and adventurous when it comes to spending on their looks and style. For a male model with the right look and attitude, this equates to a lot of opportunity. The criteria for men as opposed to women in modelling are different. Male models tend to be very fit and have striking features; meaning that other men may look up to them – and women will take notice of their great physique. Inevitably this gives the advert more interaction and better performance. As a male model, you do not need to have the body of a fitness model, just modelling potential. Kube Studios is more than a photography studio, we have stylists, consultants, hair and makeup artists and photographers with years of experience in bringing out the best in the models they work with.

Is a portfolio important?

All models need high quality recent photos of themselves at all times. You will need a versatile portfolio that represents the way you currently look and that includes all the shots that agency professionals will look for. If you have worked as a model before, you may include these shots but make sure to mention if you have changed your hair or have any new visible tattoos that may affect a brand’s identity.

One of our male modelling clients was offered a great opportunity for a well known underwear company, but since the portfolio pictures he was hired from he had shaved his long hair and was turned away on the day of job. This is why it is important to have an up to date portfolio, so model agencies and companies can see what you really look like and whether they are interested in hiring you. As a male model it is important to maintain your image and keep your portfolio up to date.

We’d love to hear from you with all your questions, if you have feedback, send it to us and we could post it up on the Kube Studios reviews blog.

Autumn has Arrived!

Bracing ourselves for Winter!

Kube Studios help dozens of men, women and children realise their modelling potential every month. It can be hard to navigate your way through the modelling business alone, but that's where Kube Studios can help. We not only provide industry standard modelling portfolio photoshoots, we give you all the tools you need whether you want to approach an agency or represent yourself as a model.

Kube Studios are in London, B'ham, Manchester and Miami.

Fun though it should be, modelling comes with its share of issues and debates such as 'I'm really not sure about my upper arms'; tights versus bare legs; 'am I going to freeze?' If these conundrums are sending you into a panic then stop! Take a deep breath, count to 10 and start thinking practically. Far from looking frumpy, a long-sleeved dress is nothing but sophisticated. As well as covering that tricky upper arm area a sleeve lends a demure appeal to one's evening look. Bracelet and half lengths are flattering whilst sheer styles create an air of sensuality.

It's a myth that practical clothing options are always boring. Thanks to a variety of awesome looks this season a knockout outfit can be achieved with minimum hassle and discomfort! For those feeling fashion forward tap into this season's fairy tale trend with a sleeve that has a soft ruffle or fluted hem.

Kube Studios Agency Advice

How to Find a Modelling Agency

The best known, and most successful agencies are normally part of the Association of Model Agents. This is a group that set their own standards and only give accreditation to those who abide by them. There are very few laws in place regarding the modelling business specifically and so the AMA was formed to create a standard amongst it's members and create a level of trust. 

There is a downside to signing with an AMA agency; they are often exclusive. This means that you are not allowed to work with or for anyone else. As in any agency interview, make sure that you find out their cut of your earnings. Depending on what they offer you for each job, this can vary but it's normally about 20%. Although AMA agencies are not many in number, they do represent the elite side of modelling and their rates reflect this.

Kube Studios

Nestled underneath includes modelling agencies who have the right to offer paid employment and source modelling assignments themselves. This type of agency is normally quite small in terms of staff but is many models' first step towards actually getting paid. When looking for an agency that isn't in the AMA, please be wary as so-called cowboy agencies are everywhere. Kube Studios are not a modelling agency but the majority of our customers do come for a photoshoot with the intention of having a portfolio made for agency submission. Although we do our best to highlight the potential dangers, we still hear of horror stories sometimes where models have been taken advantage of and left with no work, and out of pocket. If you want to talk to the Kube Studios team about options after your portfolio is made, just get in touch via the Kube Studios website or pop by one of our locations.

Kube Studios London

Kube Studios London

Welcome back to the Kube Studios London blog. The most important thing to remember if you want to become a model is that competition is tougher than ever. Thousands of men, women and children start taking steps towards becoming a model every month. However, only a handful will make enough money to have a good lifestyle with as most modeling jobs pay pretty average day rates. Only the top few percent of famous models get the ridiculously high salaries we see in the magazines.

Giving yourself an edge

Being signed by a top agency is many a person’s dream. Having an attractive, well rounded portfolio is an absolute necessity before approaching any of the top ten agencies in the UK. Kube Studios compile quality modeling portfolios ensuring that all the shot-types you need are included to give you the most powerful portfolio you can get.

Don’t give up

If you’ve been looking for jobs recently, you’ll know that most employers don’t write back to let you know how your application went – or what you can do to give yourself better chances in the future. Most of the time you will be left wondering and waiting for weeks on end. Modeling agencies are exactly the same. The great thing is that you can send your portfolio online as an e-folio so you don’t have to take on the costs of printing and postage. Talk to Kube Studios about e-folios after your shoot!
