Questions, answered.

Both are one-off payments with lifetime access. Access Start (£150) includes the core Access Development programme, your Access Profile, the Model Guide and Casting Kit, portfolio guidance, studio session access as included in the package, access to the curated casting board in your portal (a rotating selection refreshed every 10 days, not a guaranteed monthly quota), and a Certificate of Model Development on completion where applicable. Access Development (£300) adds the full development programme, runway and casting development, a reviewed Access Profile, full portfolio direction strategy, priority handling of your casting applications, priority and unlimited studio sessions, selected Access Events included, and a dedicated point of contact.

Yes, we're a model development agency. Free Access is our representation route: representation by The Access Studio, basic professional digitals for your comp card, and invitations to selected shoots and events, with no payment required. Our paid packages are optional development programmes. Representation is non-exclusive unless agreed otherwise in writing.

One-off. You pay once and keep lifetime access to your package. No monthly billing, no renewal, no expiry and no surprise charges.

No. Most of our members start with zero professional shots. The studio session in your first month exists specifically to build that first portfolio. If you already have strong work, even better, we'll use it immediately.

Most active members see a meaningfully stronger portfolio and a real jump in confidence and professional understanding within the first three months. We're honest about the rest: access to opportunities does not guarantee selection, booking or employment. Selection always depends on the individual brief, the client's requirements, availability and suitability. What we promise is the development, the materials and the access, not a booking.

You'll hear from us within 48 hours. If you're a fit for Free Access representation we'll welcome you in. If you've selected a development package we'll confirm details, schedule your first studio session, and send a secure payment link, you don't pay anything until we've spoken.

Payment is by secure card link sent after we've confirmed your spot. We never take payment on the application form and we don't store card details ourselves. You'll always get a receipt and a clear summary of what's included before paying.

Yes, within the first 14 days of your development package starting, provided you haven't already used your studio session. After 14 days, or once your first shoot is booked, the package becomes non-refundable because the studio time and submissions have been allocated. Full terms are on our Terms page.

Yes. Development package members shoot in our London studio with a working fashion photographer. Editorial, commercial and runway setups are all available. You own the high-res images and can use them anywhere.

We hold an internal database of live castings, brand briefs, campaigns and creative opportunities. Our opportunity organising tool, with AI enhancement, matches them to your Access Profile, look, stats, location and availability, and every match is then reviewed by a person on our team before anything goes out in your name. Nothing is submitted on autopilot, and being submitted is never a guarantee of selection.

Only what's needed to run your access: contact you, submit you to relevant opportunities, and process payment. We never sell your data and we never share your contact details with third parties without your permission. Full detail is on our Privacy Policy page.

No. Free Access has no fees at all. Development packages are a single one-off price covering everything listed. You'll never be asked for ongoing 'admin fees', commission on castings, or charges to use the studio time included in your package.
