Today was an exciting and rewarding day on set for my modelling shoot. From the moment I arrived, the energy was upbeat and everyone on the team was welcoming and professional.
The creative direction for the shoot was clear, and I loved seeing how the vision came to life through styling and set design.
During the shoot, I felt confident and focused. The photographer gave great feedback, and the atmosphere on set made it easy to stay comfortable in front of the camera. We worked through several looks, each with its own vibe and story, which allowed me to explore a range of expressions and poses.
I appreciated how collaborative the experience was — everyone was working together to get the best results.
Overall, I left the shoot feeling proud and accomplished. It was a long day, but so worth it. I learned more about how to move with intention and respond to direction quickly, which I know will help in future shoots.
I’m really excited to see the final images and grateful for the opportunity to work with such a talented team

Had my first modelling project yesterday and it was an amazing experience. I was fortunate to work with a team that was not only skilled but also incredibly friendly and supportive. From the moment I met them, they made me feel comfortable and at ease, which made the entire process enjoyable. I also have to commend Models Direct for being so communicative, always keeping me informed with the status of my portfolio and also for finding me this project. All my doubts/queries were promptly responded to. Overall, the experience was fantastic. It was a great start, and I’m excited for more experiences with Models Direct in the future!

Firstly, everyone involved in the shoot was absolutely lovely and welcoming.
The company did really well to provide us with everything that we needed, they looked out for us and this made the shoot much more relaxed. Also, they did really well to explain the purpose of the shoot and what was expected of us which really helped with getting into the right mindset.
I worked both indoors and outdoors portraying a homeless teenager in need of aid and then getting provided with the necessary aid. Working on the streets of Lewisham also helped in order to see the situations homeless people find themselves in. Being in the actual environment was really useful as it allowed me to see exactly what homeless people go through and this only helped me portray a homeless teenager better.The shoot was really fun and this is down to not only my love of being in front of camera but also the team we worked with were not just kind but also fun to work with.
The shoot was similar to how I expected by reading the brief but was different to how I expected in terms of how easy it was to work with the team. Also on a personal note this first experience really helped me to realise that being in front of camera is when I am in my element.

Logan

I took Logan who is 18 months old to Weybourne Beach to model clothes for the Next winter catalogue. He had a great time playing with the other children and being on the beach. He had to get changed into the clothes that were provided and then we went down closer to the water with a boat and some cliffs in the background and Logan had his photo taken. The photographer and crew were very friendly and Logan loved them! He had his hair trimmed by the hairdresser which was done perfectly and made him look really grown up. I think the most enjoyable part of the assignment for Logan was being on the beach playing with the pebbles and being around the other children. This was Logan's second assignment though Models Direct so he is gaining experience in front of the camera. I would definitely advise people to join this agency as everyone is so friendly and helpful and it is a great experience going out there and getting dressed up to have your photo taken for a big brand. I originally decided to join Logan up with Models Direct as he has a very distinctive look as he has a big afro so I thought it would be nice to try and show all his hair off and get him into something like this. Before this assignment I hadn't updated Logan's e-portfolio for a while, but I will definitely start updating it more regularly again now! Thank you, Elishia

When I saw the advertisement from Models Direct for a dog model, our Sid sounded like he'd fit the bill! He had recently modelled in a local photo shoot for a clothing brand and he was the star of the show!The shoot we attended was for a London based dog clothing and accessories brand that are launching this September and needed some photos for the website and other relevant media. It helped when I was giving Sid commands so that he posed well, and he also got lots of treats for being good. He sat well for what they needed and fell asleep a few times on set - which was sometimes perfect for the image of the photo, but sometimes we did have to wake him up!As he is only five months we were a little worried about his reaction to trains, tubes and the business of London travelling in peak times but he was brilliant and even fell asleep a few times on the journey.The best part of the day for Sid was all the fuss and treats he was getting. He learnt a lot from the day and it did wonders for his training. It’s certainly made me more confident in taking him places and being able to trust his behaviour in different circumstances and environments.I would recommend to other puppy owners to do something like this because it’s excellent for socializing your pup and getting some lovely photos of them while they are still small!We would love to do more of these shoots and hope to build him a portfolio that will allow us to do so more often. It was a great experience for him so we would like to keep it going!

Had a very positive first experience with Models Direct.
They were great at communicating before and after the event and put me at ease in what to expect and how to prepare for it.
The day itself was straight forward, the team were clear what they needed and everyone was super friendly.
Would definitely recommend using them.
