Life Models’ Society Members
All LMS members have attended a Prospective Member Workshop. This means that all of our models have had the same induction to the industry, health and safety concerns, expected behaviour and rates of pay.
We host workshops several times per year.
Once you have successfully completed the Workshop, the Life Models’ Society (LMS) will invite you to become a member of the LMS. You will be then added to our list of models which we publish for subscribers several times a year. Membership must be renewed each year, in January, and anyone who has not been a member for 2 years (24 months) is required to retake the Workshop. we have a policy that if someone has not been a member for more than 2 years (24 months) they are required to complete a workshop again. This is so that our current standards and culture are understood and upheld by all, and this applies to everyone regardless of length of previous membership, roles held within the LMS, reasons for no longer holding membership, or whether individuals have been working as a life model in the mean time.
The Committee of the LMS reserves the right to decline applications for membership.

The LMS publishes a newsletter several times a year to keep members aware of all things that may interest models or affect their working experience. We also organise social events where models can meet colleagues and discuss issues related to this unique form of work.
The LMS is run by an elected Committee of up to seven members. The meetings of this committee are open to any interested members of the LMS. You can contact the Secretary for the dates of the meetings.
All meetings of the LMS are recorded via meeting minutes and the minutes can be sent to interested members. This includes financial reports and the reports from the Annual General Meeting.
If you are going to a job and need a person to come with you, or chaperone, you can contact us and we will find an LMS member to escort you if need be.
