As a first timer everything went really well, great communication from Models Direct, clear instructions & great support.
Shooting an ad for a well known supermarket, the people on site were welcoming & supportive & made the day enjoyable & easy.
Paperwork & information flow was great & needed no questions from my end & great follow up support after the shoot.

"Ellison is only 8 months old so couldn't say in his own words but I could tell he had a really good day, the actors and Director were really nice with him and got through all scenes needed.
This was a first for Ellison and myself and the whole day was enjoyable and seeing him being a good boy while filming made me smile.Ellison had to be a teething toddler in an internal training Video for Tesco that gave examples of how to and how not to deal with customer service in a pharmacy setting.
This assignment, has given me confidence that Ellison interacts extremely well with other Actors/Models and is still happy no matter what the situation.It was a fun day out and gave me a sense of pride and also a nice little bit of money for his savings account for when hes older.
We don't live in or around London so opportunities in acting/modeling there never even come up in this area. Joining an Agency like Models Direct gives us the opportunity to be put forward for exciting opportunities. Models Direct works on your behalf and do the job hunting for you. We have been registered with Models Direct for only a few weeks and he has already had his first job.We signed Ellison up as a bit of fun more than anything. Obviously as his parents we feel he has one of the cutest little faces we have seen :) and would love to flick through pictures or films with him in when he is older. Plus what ever money we get out of this can go into a savings account for when he is older.

Had an amazing time getting hands-on with filming for Love Finance!

FRIENDS FOR LIFE
Erin was very excited to receive the call from Molly at Models Direct to say she had been selected for the Cotswold Outdoor photo shoot. As this was her first assignment she was a little nervous to begin with, but within an hour of being there she was made to feel totally at ease. She worked with two other child models from Models Direct - Myleigh and Luca, who she got on with really well with and are now friends for life.
The actual assignment took place in an outdoors setting for three days, which had the children in a beautiful field setting with tents, kite flying and a picnic. On the second day they were taken down by the river for canoeing, fishing and another picnic then the third day was spent on a beautiful beach where they had pictures taken of them hiking and then splashing and playing in the sea. Erin learnt a lot and has gained so much confidence from this experience. I would recommend any child who loves being in front of the camera to give modelling a go, as it certainly builds a child’s confidence and gives them a lot of enjoyment.
If anyone is serious about modelling then I would definitely recommend joining Models Direct as they have a great team and have really made my little girl happy by giving her the opportunity to be selected for this assignment. I signed up Erin as I wanted her to grow in confidence and have fun with the experiences and she is certainly having that.

Yesterday I had another great shoot thanks to Models Direct, this time it was a photoshoot for a London based sewing company called the Avid Seamstress. As always, I was given all the necessary information beforehand from Molly, plus I attended a casting a few weeks ago to ensure I was right for the job, so the day went very smoothly. We shot lots of different looks over the course of the day, with brilliant direction given from the fantastic photographer, Iurana. The client Lisa was so lovely to work with and was even kind enough to give me a gorgeous bunch of flowers at the end of day. I'm really looking forward to seeing the photos!"

The whole day was very relaxed
The whole day was very relaxed, we were made to feel relaxed because the clients knew what was required from everybody.
The photographers were very professional in their work, and also helped with the relaxed mood. Overall, a very pleasant experience.

I couldn't have hoped for a better 'first time experience' with Models Direct if I had wished for it! The communication with Charlie was exemplary from start to finish! I received all the shoot information long before day with numerous opportunities to ask questions at every stage! The information was detailed, clear and concise and even provided background information regarding our Production Team! If that wasn’t enough, what pleased me the most was the thorough post shoot catch up. I have rarely been asked my personal views on a shoot , particularly from a view of improvements for future shoots!Thank you Models Direct particularly Charlie - heres to our continued success!!

Firstly I would like to thank you for securing this assignment for Cayleigh. The assignment went well with Cayleigh modelling eight or nine different items, Janice seemed very happy with the outcome on site and Cayleigh really enjoyed herself.

We recently took part in our first family photoshoot. It was a swim shoot, where we each had individual photos and videos taken as well as together as a family. The focus was on capturing us all having fun, and it was a great experience from start to finish. We all genuinely enjoyed the afternoon.The staff were friendly and approachable, taking the time to chat with us and make sure we were comfortable throughout.The whole environment was relaxed, which helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera, especially as it was our first time. It didn’t feel rushed or pressured at any point.It’s definitely something we’d love to do again in the future. Thank you to everyone involved for making it such an enjoyable afternoon.
