I recently had the opportunity to work with Models Direct for a project with Monopoly, and it was an incredible experience. From start to finish, the team was professional and supportive, making me feel welcome and valued. The atmosphere was energetic and creative, which added to the excitement of being part of such an iconic brand. Throughout the process, I learned so much about the modeling industry, including how to pose effectively and the importance of teamwork on set. The guidance from the directors and fellow models was invaluable, helping me to grow my skills and confidence. I truly appreciated the emphasis on creativity and collaboration, which made every moment enjoyable. Overall, my experience with Models Direct has been one of the highlights of my career. I left the project feeling inspired and eager to pursue more opportunities in the modeling world. I highly recommend Models Direct to anyone looking to embark on a fun and enriching journey in modeling!

When we got there they asked us if we could dress Oliver in a pair of mama's papa's khaki trousers for him to wear one of his own tops (we took a selection) Oliver was sat in a really nice wooden highchair at the end of breakfast table laid out with breakfast bowls several mini muffins....Oliver was given a muffin to eat whilst photos where being taken, he loved it he looked really happy and at ease......Darren and i stood behind the photographer every now and then waving and pulling silly faces to make him giggle and smile! The photo shoot took approx 45 mins they said they where really happy with the many photos they had taken esspecially a full frontal shot. We then cleaned up Oliver (the muffins where a little chocolatey) changed oliver then said our goodbyes as they had what they needed and left to make our way home. They did mention that they needed a photo of a baby asleep in a different reclining highchair......we all agreed that oliver was by this point wide awake and we would not beable to get him to sleep easily. Everyone was really friendly and made us feel at ease (i felt quite nervous for him before we got there) all in all i think he enjoyed it and both darren and i felt very proud.
Oliver secured his first assignment within 6 weeks of registering

Shoot with the British Red Cross
Had my first shoot booked with models direct yesterday for the British Red Cross. Had an amazing experience from start to finish.
Gemma was amazing at helping get me all the information, arranging access for my wheelchair and was such a lovely helpful person to talk to. She really set my mind at ease.
The shoot itself was amazing and all the other models, the co-ordinator, photographer and make up artist were so kind and fun to work with.
Was great fun and can’t wait to do another shoot with models direct soon.

We were invited to take part in a children’s wear shoot for a high end brand at an iconic location!
The sun was shining and everyone was super friendly & accommodating to Cheddar, ensuring we had everything we needed to keep him happy & cool in the heat.
He had plenty of breaks between shots to rest and his safety was a priority when shooting outside.
Models Direct supported me throughout the process with detailed briefs, emails & phone calls in the lead up, and a follow up phone call afterwards to see how it had gone.
Shout out to Gemma who is always great to chat to & answer any questions.
Thank you

I had my 2nd booking today. It was a charity photoshoot for Alzheimer's UK to raise awareness and health information about brain health.
I was so warmly welcomed. It was a great and very enjoyable time all through the entire photoshoot. There were various activities for each section of the photoshoot - reading, catching up with a friend, playing a board game (scrabble), cooking, dancing, gardening, playing a musical instrument, making a video call, the outdoors - out for a walk and also reading a book at the bus stop.
I commend the team who were all fantastic, amazingly wonderful and worked so well together.
I was so impressed with their professionalism and beautiful attention to detail.
I thank Models Direct immensely for a special and memorable day.

Well organised and great communicationModels Direct are super to deal with, keeping in touch regularly and ensuring everything is in order, both before and after the shoot. I had a great filming day with a fab team from IMA, who were welcoming and well organised.
I was needed a number of times during the day for stills and video, so I'm glad I took a book to read for the in-between moments.
As I left the venue, the Creative Director spontaneously asked everyone to give me a round of applause, which was lovely!

First modelling shoot. It was great, loved every moment.
The other two models with varying levels of experience were great fun and lovely to speak to. The photographer was a really nice fella with a great sense of humour.
My first modelling shoot was such a good experience I can't wait to do more.

Today’s photo shoot went really well! The energy on set was great, and everything came together smoothly—from the lighting setup to the direction and overall flow.
I felt confident and comfortable, which really helped bring out the best in the shots. There were definitely a few standout moments where the creative vision really clicked. I’m excited to see the final edits and feel like we captured something special. Looking forward to the next one already!
I was honestly a bit nervous at first—those pre-shoot jitters definitely kicked in. But as soon as we got started, the team made me feel so relaxed and at home. Their energy was warm and supportive, and it really helped me settle in quickly. Before I knew it, I was fully in the zone and enjoying every moment.

I had a fantastic shoot with Models Direct, Rhiannon and the camera/video team were so cool and made me feel very homely. Going to the cafe and Tower Bridge for me was very special. And my partner for the shoot was very good (we worked well together)!
