From Moscow to Manila: How I Secured Top Commercial Modelling Jobs

Hey, I'm Dmitri! I started my modelling career in St. Petersburg and Moscow, primarily working on editorial and high-fashion projects. While the Russian scene was professional, I felt my look was perfect for the vibrant, diverse, and commercially focused market of Southeast Asia, particularly the Philippines in Metro Manila.

The Barrier: Bridging the Cultural and Commercial Divide

The transition was about more than just a flight; it was a shift in market focus. I struggled to get my specialized portfolio in front of the right commercial modelling agencies in Manila while still based in Russia. The Philippine market demands quick turnaround and specific looks for lifestyle and brand campaigns—different from what Moscow often requires.

Sending portfolios directly to every modelling agency and trying to keep track of local casting calls from Russia proved nearly impossible. The sheer volume of manual work was frustrating, and my search for international modelling jobs remained stalled. I realized I needed a system that could credibly and instantly present my profile to the right local players.

SendModels.com: My Efficient Route to Philippine Agencies

SendModels.com was the intelligent solution that cut through the noise. I carefully curated my profile, adding lifestyle shots that demonstrated my potential for commercial modelling, and selected the Philippines as my target market.

With one swift click, my professional profile was delivered to the top commercial modelling agencies in Manila, bypassing the typical geographical screening filters. This was crucial; the platform ensured my submission was standardized and professional, immediately meeting the expectations of a leading modelling agency abroad.

The Breakthrough: A Major Telecom Commercial

My opportunity came quickly! Within three weeks, I was contacted by 'Mega Talent PH,' a prominent commercial modelling agency specializing in major brand campaigns across the Philippines. They were specifically searching for a versatile foreign model for a major telecommunications campaign—a high-value modelling job!

After a successful online casting, Mega Talent PH confirmed that my organized submission via SendModels.com was instrumental. They trust the quality of profiles delivered by the platform, which sped up their decision-making process significantly.

I successfully signed with them and moved to Manila! I'm now actively working on high-profile commercial modelling jobs for telecom and tech brands, living out my dream in Southeast Asia.
