It was less than 2 days between me hearing I was shortlisted to completing the assignment; everything was handled very promptly and with plenty of support from Models Direct.
I was tasked to play a Groom for a themed wedding. The assignment involved me and the model Bride taking promotional photographs around Oxford and within the Hotel venue for the Client's Wedding Planning portfolio.
I had no issues at all with communication on the side of the Client via MD, or with MD directly. It was clear what I needed to do to prepare, where/when I needed to be, and I overall I just had a great time taking part in my first professional modelling gig.
I am highly looking forward to my next assignment!

What a great experience we have just had as a family. Superb organisation right from the very beginning by Gemma @ Models Direct.
Gemma was very supportive and communicative all the way through and everyone involved with the shoot was extremely professional, friendly and made the experience a very enjoyable one.
The shoot was at a Holiday park and we got to experience many aspects of the parks facilities including water slides, restaurant, cinema and even their wave surfer!
All was explained to us before the day and any changes enforced by the weather was communicated with us fully so we always knew what we were doing next.
Great experience. Thank you again for all of the support.

Christms PhotoshootI recently took part is a Christmas photoshoot. It was my first job! It involved having pictures taken in a pub, whist having drinks with fiends at Christmas!
The production team were friendly and helpful and really made us feel at ease.
I also met some lovely people.
Gemma at MD was fantastic, kept me informed every step of the way.
The shoot itself was lots of fun and I can't wait for the next job!

Really enjoyed working with Models Direct again! The crew were all lovely, fun and very professional - which makes all the difference when you’re shooting outside in the winter morning chill! Charlie at Models Direct made it a pleasure to work today, for all the greatly appreciated updates, clear communication, thoughtful planning and considerations. Thanks! :))

The shoot went well and it was great to work with such a fun team! For me, everything is in the prep, and I was very impressed with Charlie’s guidance, preparation and paperwork ahead of the day. The location was nice and our team of 14 models felt really included in the project. The director was good and clear with his instructions. It was a lovely experience and I can’t wait to do it all over again!

I had a lovely two-day experience working with Centrepoint charity on a shoot and video campaign through Models Direct. Everyone involved was incredibly helpful and welcoming, which made the entire experience feel relaxed and comfortable.
A special thank you to Charlie from Models Direct, who explained everything in detail beforehand and was always there for support and reassurance. As-well as Alex and the rest of the team involved in Centrepoint charity really made a difference and helped me feel confident throughout the project!

=Had a great day on set, arrived early and the crew were there to greet and sign me in.
They were a happy friendly bunch, gave us direction when needed, with fun and a laid back approach. Getting the best out of people.
It was interesting and fun meeting fellow models, some newbies like me. Others with more experience giving hints and tips about the industry.
