I had my first shoot with models direct at Erigmore holiday park.
I was extremely nervous but the communication from Gemma was second to none! Unfortunately due to weather, the shoot was postponed a couple of times but on the day the sun was shining for us which was amazing!
The photographers were so lovely and I was made to feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the shoot.
Some of the locations we were taken to in the area were amazing and we all shared a lovely lunch and got to know each other.
I have made some friends from this and hopefully will get the opportunity to work with them again. It definitely was a very memorable experience, one I will never forget.
I'm really looking forward to working with Models direct again in the future

Overall my first model shoot with Models Direct went really well, gave me a chance to get some experience within the model industry and see how everything works on shoot day.
Met some lovely people on the day and also worked along side other Model Direct clients which was all good experience for myself.
I can’t wait for more opportunities to come.

Our recent photoshoot was an amazing experience for both our children (ages 10 and 6). The staff were extremely professional and kind, showing particular care and understanding for our daughter’s needs on the autism spectrum. They were experts at managing the session to get the best results out of the kids' hard work while keeping everyone comfortable.

BEING 'PAMPERED'
Jayden enjoyed himself and I could see he had a good time. The best thing about the assignment was that everyone was very friendly and caring. It was a 'Pampers' photo shoot and Jayden had to pose lying on his belly, looking up and smiling. Thank you for letting us represent you.

Gemma from models direct was very helpful and very informative so I did not had to worry about anything, great atmosphere and very good photographers.
This was my first shoot and it was amazing.
Thank you.

I spent 2 days on set working on an office-style shoot that mixed light comedic acting with professional modelling.
The atmosphere was friendly and supportive, and I enjoyed meeting a variety of models and learning from their experiences on set.
A highlight for me was picking up on small reaction cues and seeing how pros carry energy naturally between takes.
It felt great to be included in that environment and to collaborate with people who brought calm focus to every setup. forward,
I’d love the chance to take on more projects like this—whether office-themed comedy or different styles.
I’m keen to keep learning, keep collaborating, and bring that same focus and easy energy to set.

We had a great experience and Gemma was supportive throughoutWe had a fantastic experience with Models Direct from start to finish. Gemma organised everything so well for our family shoot at the caravan park, and the whole process was smooth, professional, and completely stress free. Communication was excellent throughout, and we always felt well informed and looked after from the moment we were contacted.The shoot day itself was such a lovely experience for me, my partner, and our little boy Logan. Everyone involved was friendly, welcoming, and very professional, which made us all feel relaxed and comfortable straight away. Logan was made to feel really included, and the team were so patient and understanding, which made a huge difference and allowed the day to flow naturally.Everything was very well organised, from timings to the overall setup, and the atmosphere was relaxed while still being professional. We never felt rushed or pressured, and the team made the experience genuinely enjoyable for all of us. It was lovely being able to take part together as a family and create such positive memories along the way.A huge thank you to Gemma for all of her help, support, and organisation throughout the entire process. She was approachable, helpful, and always quick to answer any questions we had.
