If you're producing a shoot in Birmingham or the West Midlands and looking for commercial or specialist model talent, this page covers how HHM operates in Birmingham — how the regional roster works, how travel and logistics are handled, and what production teams should know at brief stage.
Professional Talent for Birmingham Productions
HHM supplies professional commercial and specialist models for advertising campaigns, ecommerce photography, broadcast productions, and branded content shoots taking place in Birmingham and across the West Midlands. The agency has worked with UK productions for more than 35 years, and Birmingham is growing as a hub for commercial production, particularly in retail and brand content.
For productions based in Birmingham, HHM confirms the most appropriate talent based on the brief and location. Where Birmingham-based models are available for the required discipline, they are prioritised to minimise travel. Where the brief calls for talent not currently based in Birmingham, HHM can arrange for models to travel from other parts of the UK, with all travel arrangements, timings, and associated costs confirmed before the booking is finalised.
Birmingham productions frequently need models travelling in from London or other parts of the UK, and the travel cost framework is anchored accordingly. Under HHM's standard Client Booking Terms, travel time outside a five-mile radius of Victoria Square (B1) is charged at £50 per hour.
Where a model is travelling to or from the shoot the day before or after the shoot day, travel is charged at half the normal daily rate for the whole travel day. Reasonable expenses incurred in fulfilling an assignment — food, per diem, rail, taxi, petrol — are added at cost to the invoice. All logistics are confirmed in writing before the booking is finalised.
