Guides

Welcome to our Guides section, the place designed to offer FREE advice and guidance on all MG services and many topics involving modelling, photography, styling and preparation.

Below are links to a range of guides designed to support many of the questions that we receive via our email addresses so we thought what a better idea then to add the answers to these topics right here on the website. Once you have found a topic you would like to look at, simply click to read it and use our "Back to Guides" button to return to this page.

Our guides are created by a range of MG staff including management, models, stylists, photographers and online staff with contributions coming in from many professionals throughout the industry. We strive to provide honest and upfront advice and guidance and where possible we will link in a service that we provide that would help support you further within the section you are currently engaged.

We have always believed that knowledge is power and in accordance with our dedication to the Fairtrade Modelling Ethos and Professional Guidance Agreement we ensure that the information contained within the following links is edited and vetted before publication. That being said, there is always a chance that people may be offended by the information within these guides and although it is not our intention to upset anyone, it is possible.

With this being the case, we advise all readers to understand that our intentions are positive and have come from a good place when they are reading the material available.
