I had a great time on setI had a great time on set, the crew were very welcoming and polite, as this was my first assignment, this put me at an ease that made the day very enjoyable. I had a great time also meeting other people who were having a similar experience to me.I had no expectations to even have an opportunity to be used as an extra but the opportunity that was provided by the crew was most welcome. If I were to give one criticism, it would be communicating were I should go or if I was finished with a shot or not.Great day on set and a wonderful first experienceDate of experience: 27 November 2024

CLIMBING IN CONFIDENCE
The assignment Models Direct sent me on with the National Trust was really good fun but I was very nervous because I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. In this modelling shoot I had to overcome my fear of heights as we were asked to climb a tree for the photos! But the photographer was nice and helped a lot. The tree was easy to climb, there were five of us in the tree and we had lots of pictures taken in different poses. In the end I enjoyed climbing and got more confident as I climbed higher and higher. I think everyone should climb trees because this was what the National Trust says is good for us. I would say that being a model is a great way of doing new things and learning new stuff. If you want to be a model you should join an agency and try to keep your e-portfolio up to date. I did this for the experience and have enjoyed my work as a model.

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

Incredible
I have been with models direct for a couple of months now. The communication is second to none and all the staff I’ve spoken to are so friendly.
I had the pleasure of going on my first shoot today.
The prep and information that Gemma gave me before hand was incredible and made me feel at ease.
The company doing the shoot really looked after us and I met some other models were all lovely
