Base Model Agency
Cape Town - Hair, Makeup, Styling, Talents
Base Models have had a busy season so far:
- Saroja - took the lead on television commercials for Pampers, BMW print campaign, Fegro, Leroy Merlin, Hyundai, Splenda and Epi Cheese, among others.
- Chrismo - led on Shauma, Peugeot, Phillips print campaign, Somfy, Elos and Tesco catalogues and Nescafe TV.
- Hanna S - one of Base Model's newest - did her first ever editorials in SA Glamour, French FHM's Bi-Annual Fashion Supplement and BA's In Flight magazine and is now preparing to star in her first TV commercial and local music video.
The recent growth in the agency has been in the area of representing international celebrities worldwide.
CEO Neal Vincent started the agency, a Division of Base Holdings, 8 years ago after returning to South Africa from his modeling and casting/scouting career in Europe that lasted nearly twelve years. His 'very specific' eye has landed on many unsuspecting faces, and turned them into major players in international markets. He has also hosted big-name models from all over the world here in Cape Town.
The agency's motto: 'You are not what you do, you do what you are!'
