Frequently asked Modelling questions

FuntimesIt was a truly enjoyable and memorable experience with MD, even if it was a bit surreal getting into the festive spirit in the middle of June! It was my first time working on a campaign like this, and I found the whole process really engaging.
I especially appreciated the relaxed and friendly atmosphere on set, meeting and connecting with new people, and I even got the chance to step in as an extra for a Christmas family scene, which was a fun surprise.

I had the opportunity to be part of the Greene King modelling shoot, and overall it was a smooth and relaxed day, though quite slow-paced.
I arrived at 9 AM and spent the majority of the morning, until around midday, in the waiting room with the rest of the talent. The team was friendly and accommodating, and there was a chilled atmosphere, but there wasn’t much going on for most of that time. We then had an hour-long lunch break from 12 to 1 PM, which gave us a good chance to recharge and catch up with others on set.
After lunch, I was called onto set and spent about an hour and a half standing at the bar, acting as a background extra while the main shots were taken. It was straightforward and easy to follow direction, and the production crew were clear with what they needed. Once that wrapped, it was back to the waiting area again, where we stayed until we were dismissed.
Although there wasn’t a huge amount of activity throughout the day, the environment was positive, and everyone was easy to work with
Thanks for the opportunity

Having been with Models Direct for 13 month's now, it was great to finally get my first job/work.
I dealt with Gemma, my Models booking agent, she was fabulous, friendly, caring, respectful, polite.
Great to deal with, very prompt and quick on email replies and calls and messaging. Put my mind at ease. I had full peace of mind going into this job.
On the day, met some great people, and had a great experience.
Was great to be back in front of the camera. I do hope this great day, will lead to many more.
Thank you Models Direct for making it happen. Yesterday was something I won't forget.

This was an amazing professional 4 hour video/photography shoot showcasing a particular product. Anna and I had so much fun in the kitchen decorating cookies and making pizza. Beautiful location, we were well looked after by the crew with lunch, refreshments and a great chic wardrobe of clothes to wear on set! Great communication from Charlie at Models Direct as always.

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.
Thank you.

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!

When we received the call from Models Direct about the assignment, we were very excited as it was the first time Adam was called for a shoot. We told him that he was going to play in a little movie. Adam thought it was going to play in Annie, the musical - he was very excited and couldn't wait. On the way to the set we explained his role which was to play happy child of foster parents and play with them on a bed. Anyway, Adam who is a very sociable child got along with everyone on set - the actors, the producers etc and he did exactly as he was told. The more Adam was asked to repeat his scene, the better he was getting as he bonded with his model parents. Overall, Adam said that he had a great time and he would do it again!

Nice atmospher to work in as all the cast and cre were friednly and approachable. We soent time between shiits being sociable. Douint eh shoots the crew wer ehelpful and friendly and made it comfotbale to work abd bot feel any oressure. Looking forward to doing more work in the future.
