No. When you apply, you will be asked whether you are prepared to travel, and which assignments (local, national or international) you’re prepared to accept.
Making yourself available to a wide area makes it more likely that you will get work, but you have to bear in mind the commitment that could be involved.
If you do have to travel, your costs will be paid by the client.

Whenever we secure an assignment for our talent – we call, agree a fee with you, plus travel costs and the decision rests with you to accept.
So, using online technology and taking full advantage of ever cheaper travel, we represent our talent with the same excellent care and attention – wherever in the world we work, be it your village, town or city or another continent.
It is more important to have determination, commitment and the burning desire to succeed. Ask yourself first, do you have these? – with them you can go anywhere and do anything.
Being successful is really about what you want. This will determine how much effort and commitment are devoted.
Look into the background of anyone successful and you will find a whole lot more than you ever knew. Successful superstars of today in modelling, entertainment, sport and almost every other field, established their interest at a very early age and with total single-mindedness.
Distinction in anything is no accident, it is a combination of determination and a great deal of effort, followed by more determination and more effort. This is why most people give up and a few succeed.
We are here to help those wanting to find an agent and explore with them their personal resources in realizing their ambitions.
Many parents are concerned that their child’s studies will suffer.
There are two issues: time commitment and your child’s focus.
In terms of time commitment, remember that any assignment offered to your child is discussed with you as the parent and no one else. We do not deal directly with anyone under 16, only their parents or guardians. So you have full control over the assignments that your child accepts.
Clients appreciate young peoples' studying commitments and work around school times. Very often assignments are at weekends or after school for this reason.
There are strict guidelines on how long a child can work for, and how often they should get breaks and refreshments.
In terms of focus, you have to decide whether modelling will take your child’s attention away from their studies. However, it’s worth bearing in mind that these opportunities offers many children a refreshing break, an exciting day out and a big boost to their self-confidence.

It has taught her how to be more confident with people - she just had a happy face the whole time. Thanks to all the team for being so great!"
