Many young people want to get into modeling, and sadly many are being exploited by unscrupulous individuals posing as model agents/scouts. UNN Model Management provides professional advice on the correct and safe procedures for embarking upon a modeling career.

Below is basic guidance on getting into the modeling industry:

1. We never scout via third parties (scouts/photographers/agents etc). Unless they have an “@unnmodels.com” email address, they are not affiliated with us. If you are unsure, call or email the agency directly and someone will be able to inform you of the correct steps to get in touch with us.

2. Never agree to meetings with anyone outside of our offices. Have a responsible adult accompany you to the meeting if you are underage.

3. Imposters claiming to be UNN Model Management representatives or scouts may contact you through social media, online platforms or even by phone. Social Media Scouting will always be referred to emails, and unless the person’s email contains “@unnmodels.com”, they do not represent UNN Models. Do not give your personal details to people online, contact us directly via our website, and stay safe online.

4. Do not pay for portfolio pictures! You do not need professional, paid-for photographs to be able to start modeling. Coming into the agency in person or having some natural snap-shots is all you need to suggest yourself to an agency. If anyone ever asks you to pay for portfolio images in order to be signed by a model agency, they are being dishonest.
