    Worldwide scouting

    Searching for top models globally

Welcome

I am a professional model scout, exploring worldwide to find undiscovered male model talent. As the former owner of ModelPro, a global model promotion website, I have built considerable industry knowledge. I have contacts with numerous model agencies and I place models with the right agencies to match their look and their motivations. I do not charge any fees to the models I have scouted and only deal with reputable agencies.

Diverse

I work with model agencies and brands of all sizes - in fashion-renowned countries and elsewhere.

Modern

I am up to date with all the latest looks and trends in male modelling and with the things model agencies are looking for.

Portfolios

My background enables me to give valuable advice on the best images to use in modelling portfolios.

Professional

To ensure legitimacy, I provide all services to models for free and I work specifically with model agencies that are reputable.

Supportive

Scouted models and agencies find me to be amiable, honest and available to assist with any questions or advice.

Knowledgeable

I have an extensive knowledge of model agencies - more than 1,500 in 102 countries around the world.

Worldwide


I work with a wide range of models, from those who are just starting out in the industry to experienced models looking for new work or representation. I also liaise with a multitude of model agencies around the world, from small boutique companies to international franchises to. This ensures that models I scout have the best opportunities available to them.

Trends in modelling change over time, and it is imperative that all scouts are on top of these variations. I keep myself up to date with the latest looks in the male modelling industry as well as in different geographical areas - so I know what model agencies and their clients are looking for.

My background enables me to give valuable advice on the best images to use to promote models. 20 years of experience of identifying the components of model images helps with this, as does an understanding of semiotics and audience.

Legitimacy


There are no fees for the models I scout - my work for them is entirely complimentary. I always give honest advice and promote models to reputable agencies that match their looks and motivations.

Although my primary role is that of a scout, I am also available to assist models with ongoing help and advice after they sign with a model agency - or even if they don't. I pride myself on being honest, friendly and trustworthy.

I believe my knowledge of global model agencies is unrivalled - more than 1,500 in 102 countries around the world - so I can help models from virtually any country to enter the industry.
