Dealing with Gemma at Models Direct has been a friendly and smoother process.
She’s made every part of my experience enjoyable, she’s kept me in the loop and checked up on me to make sure I’m ok and happy with everything that is going on.
I couldn’t recommend Models Direct more.
I thank you guys for making my first time experience a memorable one

Thank you for an amazing first campaign experience.Just wanted to take a moment to thank Models Direct for booking my first campaign shoot. It was a wonderful experience and the details provided were clear and accurate, ensuring that I knew exactly what to expect. Clear instructions/directions were provided to reach to the location, the crew were not only professionals but also very kind and supportive. It was nice meeting and chatting with my fellow models and Gemma, the talent manager. Overall it was a great experience, I look forward to working with Models direct more in the future and recommend to others as well. ThanksDate of experience: 28 November 2024

I was surprised that I was shortlisted for this position in Business Disability forum in University of Reading by Models Direct for the SECOND assignment.
I arrived at the University on time, which I had to informed the client by texted I was in the building (that was in the Call Sheet) and the client was very pleased and came down to meet and bring me back upstairs to the top floor and the client introduced me to her team, which I felt at ease and the photographer as well. Didn't get the chance to talk with the rest of the models when I arrive, but as day goes on, I was good to fit in nicely with the models as well.
A productive day for me, I had to work closely with the photographer (she had to walk through or around to point direction for me to take or having a small conversation with the model that I am paired with or just having an eye contact etc) and the model for showing or demonstrated how to do this or that. The client had to be involved in each department (it was nice to explore and to take part in this projects) of how the layout of myself and others models to be, as working together as a team work. Example, I had to deal with a sick patient in knowing in how much pain she could be in etc. I was also working in a laboratory using scientific methods by demonstrated it in how to or use it etc by assisting him. I got to work as staff in the University Reception and having customers come over to me and ask me questions or advice, direction, or interest of where to go etc. This is such a lovely experience for me and the rest of the models that took part in this incredible interesting Business Disability forum.
Very grateful of the outcome to this amazing assignment. Thank you so much for this opportunity! Icelia

I have been with models direct for a couple of months now. The communication is second to none and all the staff I’ve spoken to are so friendly.
I had the pleasure of going on my first shoot today.
The prep and information that Gemma gave me before hand was incredible and made me feel at ease.
The company doing the shoot really looked after us and I met some other models were all lovely
