Filming the Bensons for Beds commercial was a great experience, I learnt a lot. It was the first time that I had shot a TV ad, so it was all new to me. So much goes on behind screen that you don't even think of! I enjoyed working alongside my 'boyfriend' Dan, and Kim was lovely too. It was a very long day (arriving at 7.30 finishing at 6.30), but Vidu and all the crew were really nice and they kindly put on food for us. The make up and wardrobe girls were really helpful too.
I'm excited (if not a little nervous?!) to see the ad once it has been put together!

Brilliant first photoshoot.

The whole experience was amazing - I met some really lovely people that I plan on keeping in contact with and it has really boosted my confidence as a model. The best part of the day was when we had all finished and the models got together and did a big silly photo, which worked really well and everyone seemed to be having so much fun! Thank you Models Direct for this opportunity.

The staff were really great and accommodating. They guided me throughout the photoshoot and told me how or what to do. However, there seems to be a miscommunication within the files that were sent to us as we didn’t need 3-4 outfits for the photoshoot. The wait for my photoshoot also took quite a while, under an hour. Overall the experience and staff were really good and I want to say thank you to Epson for picking me and giving me this opportunity.

I had an amazing time modelling as a “Country Loving Traditionalist”—such a fun and unique experience! To top it off, I even had a pretend husband for the day, which was a laugh. The shoots took place in stunning locations across Lincolnshire, showcasing the beautiful countryside. Afterward, we visited some charming pubs and restaurants. The whole team was absolutely lovely, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Date of experience: February 26, 2025

What a fantastic photoshoot with so many amazing products shortly due to hit the market. The children had a blast!
Models Direct kept us up-to-date with important details leading up to the shoot, ensured all questions were answered, and shared a clear itinerary so we all knew what to expect in advance.
On set, the photographers and client put the children and ease, quickly built a rapport and balanced support with giving them the freedom they needed to really show the products off. The children’s input was valued throughout the day and it was a great opportunity for the client to ‘road-test’ the products too.
Models Direct followed up with us the next morning and shared some brilliant feedback. Their communication and support throughout has been exemplary.
Overall, there was lots of fun and laughter, and some fabulous photos as a result. The whole experience has given the children a real confidence boost and they can’t wait to get involved in more!"

Amelia thoroughly enjoyed her first assignment and loved all the cameras and lights etc. Amelia particularly enjoyed being with her fellow models and has made 2 new friends. The assignment was to be a baby model for Channel 4's "Sex Education Show". Amelia's part in this was to be cared for by 2 teenagers who were asked to change her nappy and feed her. The idea was to show teenagers the consequences of unprotected sex and how much hard work is involved in having a baby. Amelia behaved impeccably and enjoyed all the attention she was getting from the teenagers, presenter, production and crew. We hope any future assignments are as successful as today!

A wonderful exciting experience . It was my first time on shoot and didn't really know what to expect. A warm welcome and pointed in the right direction by the crew. The opportunity to meet other people taking part in the shoot that day was interesting and at the same time intriguing to get to talk to so many different people. My experience of the day was that I had loads of fun and laughs once I became less nervous. The only criticism of the day was the communication it could have been more fluent at times slightly confusing didn't know whether I needed to stay or go? That said all in all a fabulous day with fabulous people thank you for this new experience. Look forward to doing more.
