Terms and Disclaimers

THIS IS A PROMOTED STORY (ADVERTORIAL) AND NOT A NEWS ARTICLE or BLOG.

modelling.tips is a general interest website containing articles about a wide variety of subjects.

Many of these articles are what is commonly referred to as Advertorials. The term "advertorial" is a combination of "advertisement" and "editorial" written in an editorial format as an independent news story, when in fact the advertisement may promote a particular product or interest.

Advertorials take factual information and report it in an editorial format to allow the author, often a company marketing its products, to enhance or explain certain elements to maintain the reader's interest.

A familiar example is an airline's in-flight magazines that provide an editorial reports about travel destinations to which the airline flies.

Child modelling is on the increase!

Today, many high street and designer brands need models. Child models are needed to promote a range of products from catalogues to billboards.

Think of Posh and Becks’s children. As children, both Brooklyn and Romeo have already had star roles in international Burberry campaigns.

But it’s not just celebs who have the chance for modelling success. As current child models grow older, agencies are always on the lookout to snap up fresh faces!

If your child is aged between 3-12, you could see your child modelling clothes, smiling on posters or appearing on packaging. They could even star in TV ads!

If your child has:

A stunning smile

Bright eyes

Real sense of personality

Then they could be the next top child model!

1. Does your child like having their photo taken? 

This seems obvious, but it’s easy to forget that modelling is about more than looks. All models – young and old – need to enjoy their work. If they don’t, it will show in their pictures.

Does your child shy away when you’re taking snaps? If yes, modelling probably isn’t the right choice for them right now.

2. Is your child patient?

Of course every kid loves to run around and play. But a modelling job may require them to stand still for a while and even follow some basic directions.

Photographers realise that children are children and no one wants your child to feel uncomfortable.

The best way to judge if your child would be happy in a professional photoshoot is to start a portfolio. Booking a professional trial photoshoot session  lets you see if they like being in a studio.

3. Does your child like being pampered?

Agencies want to see your child’s natural good looks shine through. But when booked on a photoshoot your child may need their hair brushed and styled. They may be also asked to model different outfits.

If your child doesn’t like being pampered in this way, they probably will not be happy as a model.

4. Are you all set to deal with agencies?

Your child may be the model, but you’ll be the star behind the scenes! From booking photoshoots to negotiating deals, you need the dedication to make your child’s modelling a success.

One top tip is to create a professional portfolio  before approaching an agency. This is because agencies love to see your child’s modelling potential straight away. 

But don’t forget that they see new models every day. Poor quality phone photos and school portraits are not what they are looking for. A professional standard portfolio  is the best way to grab an agency’s attention.

5. Are you ready for new opportunities?

Your child is growing older and more amazing every day! However, agencies are looking for specific age groups.

As your child gets older, the opportunity for them to be a child model gets smaller. If you’ve answered yes to all the questions above, then act quickly to discover your child’s modelling potential !

Whether you’re new to the business or already experienced, getting real support and advice is so important. A great modelling company such as UK Models  will offer much more than just a portfolio photoshoot, including amazing guidance and leg up into the industry.

With this help, you can join the thousands of parents feeling so proud of their child’s latest star campaign.
