About Us
SPECTRUM (incorporating Real Faces) is Sydney's premier commercial broad-based model and talent agency, managing good-looking commercial & mature people from 15 to 80 years old. Our men and women are in particular demand for advertising. Many SPECTRUM (Real Faces) models and talent have been in the industry for years and have a wealth of experience as former fashion models, performers, or actors.
SPECTRUM are often cast as teens, parents, business people, mature fashion models, retirees and general workers in TV commercials, the print media, and for bit parts in film and TV drama. Our talent has appeared in campaigns for McDonald's, David Jones, NRMA, Best & Less, Big W, QANTAS, Telstra, Samsung and many others.
We maintain a select group of good-looking commercial models of all ages, many of whom have a strong background in the industry as fashion models. We are committed to providing the industry with up-to-date images so there are no surprises when the model arrives for the casting or job.
History
