Models [Cape Town]: Base Model Agency
Neal Vincent founded Base Model Agency in 1999 and is recognised in the modelling industry as a prominent figure within both the domestic and international markets. Winner of the male 'Face of the Eighties' competition, Neal embarked on an extensive international modelling career from 1989. From Paris to Milan, London and New York, Neal has featured on covers of elite magazines, has been seen on billboards in top campaigns, and has strutted the catwalk for international greats such as Versace, Armani, Valentino and Byblos.
Base Model Agency, together with its strong foreign ties, has expanded the careers of many local models to global status. Alongside Neal's endorsement with one of Hollywood's top actors' agencies, he now exclusively represents some of the world's biggest movie stars - and in conjunction has broadened the horizons of many local models-turned-actors.
Neal's broad knowledge of the ever changing and expanding model and film industries has constantly ensured him a substantial portion of the market share. With this as a strong foundation, Neal and his team continue to reach exciting new heights.

Base Model Agency
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!'
