First Family Shoot
We had such an amazing time on our very first family modelling shoot at Woolacombe Bay Holiday Park. The day was packed with fun – from swimming and water slides to the wave surfer, adventure golf, the restaurant and even the beach. It didn’t feel like “work” at all, just a really fun day together as a family.
Kevin and Guy were brilliant – so easy to get along with, very professional and made us feel comfortable straight away. They guided us through everything step by step which really helped, especially as it was all new to us.
A huge thank you to Gemma too – she was incredible from start to finish. She kept in touch the whole way through, always quick to reply to our questions, and just so friendly and reassuring. She made the whole process smooth and stress-free, which meant we could just relax and enjoy the experience.
Thank you Models Direct for such a brilliant opportunity – we had a blast and would love to do it again!

I have been extremely impressed with Models Direct as an Agency due to many factors. From the registration process with Heidi who actually had conversations with me and didn't make me feel like just a number to get on their books to pay the fee, but who I felt was completely genuine, watching their active and impressive social media postings (hoping one day I would be up there!), good luck wishes and well done posts and stories, to being active in looking for work for me from the beginning.
And then there's Gemma! Gemma has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She was so helpful in booking in my first job with Models Direct and was in regular contact, sending through booking information, promptly answered any queries that I had, helped me to feel at ease in the lead up, wished me luck on the day and then followed up after the shoot. Gemma really is a credit to the agency as she is professional, friendly, personable, positive, full of encouragement and very knowledgeable.
I am still smiling from ear to ear after the shoot yesterday as I couldn't have asked for a better first experience! My male model partner was a perfect match for me, and the photographers were so helpful, experienced, laid back, calming and such a pleasure to work with, we all enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and had such a laugh! The client was very accommodating also, looked after us very well and made us feel special.
I honestly can't thank Models Direct and Gemma enough and will always have the fondest memories of my first shoot!

My first experience Working with Model Direct
My first experience as a Highlighting model was truly fantastic! From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed and guided through every step of the process. The entire team was incredibly professional, attentive, and made sure I felt comfortable at all times.
The organization was flawless, with every detail carefully planned and executed.
The atmosphere was both friendly and inspiring, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
I appreciated how they took the time to explain each part of the process and ensured everything was tailored to highlight my best features.
Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to work with such a talented and dedicated team!

Photoshoot for The Royal College of Nursing
That's my 2nd job with Models Direct and it was another great experience!
This photoshoot felt special because we had to be in the skin of nurses in action and show, as best as we could, their amazing skill set, dedication and human connection they bring every day. The production team and the photographer were professional and really nice. We were guided by an experienced nurse, so I felt confident that I was representing nurses as realistically as possible!
The other models from Models Direct were super nice too. So nice vibes overall!
Thanks

The whole thing was done to a very professional level from the casting to the catwalk show. We were looked after very well and everyone involved was lovely which really helped with how long the day was. Hair cut and colour is fantastic and I am keeping it!

Was a completely different setting today but what an experience!
Met some incredible characters and also made new friends with the other models.
Such a beautiful day and was able to take a lot of shots outside.

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.

The shoot was okay. There was no problems. Thank you!

Today was my very first ad shoot, and I have to say, it was an exciting, fun-filled, and eye-opening experience.
From the moment I arrived at the studio, there was a buzz of energy in the air. The team was welcoming, and everyone seemed to be in their zone, preparing for what would turn out to be an unforgettable day. As we got started with the first few shots, I was amazed at how many people were behind the scenes, coordinating everything to perfection. The lighting, camera angles, and even the smallest details were all being adjusted to ensure the best results.
It was fascinating to see all the effort that goes into creating a perfect shot. While I expected there to be a lot of waiting around and setting up, the team made it smooth and fun with music, laughter, and light conversation. By midday, I felt like I had settled into my role and was having a blast.
It was not just about posing; it was about feeling the moment and connecting with the camera. I definitely felt more comfortable as the day went on, and there were several moments where I genuinely enjoyed being in front of the camera.
I would also thank my agent, Charlie, for her constand and prompt response to every query I had and in making this process as smooth and memorable as possible for me. In short, my first ad shoot was a thrilling experience. It was everything I hoped for and more, and I can’t wait to do it again!
