First Photoshoot
I had an excellent first photoshoot today. Charlie from models direct was excellent, and guided me through everything I needed to know before the photoshoot, so I was well prepared for it, and knew what to expect.I thoroughly enjoyed it, and felt very relaxed at the event. The whole experience was even better than I expected.I can’t wait for the next one :)

I want for you to know that my shoot on Friday turned out to be a 100% success and I was very satisfied to have undertaken this assignment. My only regret was the difficulty in finding the venue by relying on busses when there happened to be a tram depot just across the road! This I discovered after I left the shoot but luckily, the event had been postponed for an hour and a half - so I was in fact early! I met with Jeremy and his photographer along with another girl from Models Direct already in the car being photographed. Sorry I did not get any pre-shoot photos of the event but I really didn't want to disrupt the work going on. I didn't understand the concept of the seatbelt extender at first but now I realised how useful it would be for plus-size drivers - and why I was chosen for the shoot! All in all I cannot fault the afternoon's work and upon leaving, they appeared as pleased with me as I was with them. I hope this product will become a roaring success and I feel pleased to have been a part in its launch. Thanks for the opportunity and hope to work with Models Direct again in the near future.

Today’s photo shoot went really well! The energy on set was great, and everything came together smoothly—from the lighting setup to the direction and overall flow.
I felt confident and comfortable, which really helped bring out the best in the shots. There were definitely a few standout moments where the creative vision really clicked. I’m excited to see the final edits and feel like we captured something special. Looking forward to the next one already!
I was honestly a bit nervous at first—those pre-shoot jitters definitely kicked in. But as soon as we got started, the team made me feel so relaxed and at home. Their energy was warm and supportive, and it really helped me settle in quickly. Before I knew it, I was fully in the zone and enjoying every moment.

This is my first shoot with Models Direct. When I arrived at the location, there was a crew member waiting with a fellow extra. After a few minutes, the leading crew member came to meet us where we each introduced ourselves before going to the office for briefing. The crew were professional and fun to work with. We were given props to use for the shoot and clear directions on what I needed to do. After a few takes, it was a wrap! It was a good and enjoyable experience. Thank you Models Direct and the client for having me on this shoot.

I recently had the pleasure of working with Models Direct on a really interesting assignment – being the model for a mole-analysis machine! From start to finish, my experience was overwhelmingly positive, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Models Direct to aspiring models.
What stood out most was the clear communication throughout the entire process. From the initial booking to the day of the shoot, I was kept well-informed and knew exactly what to expect. This really helped to put me at ease.
The professionalism of everyone involved, both from Models Direct and the client, was exceptional. The team on set was friendly, efficient, and created a comfortable working environment. I felt well-looked after and that my time was valued.
Overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable experience, and I'm very impressed with Models Direct's organization and the quality of the opportunities they provide.
I would absolutely recommend Models Direct to others looking to get into modelling; they are a truly professional and reliable agency.
