Biggest
name in the picture business
First assignments can be daunting, there is so much to take in:
where do you have to go? What will the photographer be like? What
will I have to do? How long is it going to take to get there? But
first assignments can also be exciting and great fun!
Getty Images the worlds leading provider of imagery, film and digital
services came to MD looking for an Oriental boy to appear on the
website of one of their French clients, the shots would also be
used in brochures, trade press and for exhibitions.
Getty Images know we have a wide range of models nationwide including
a diverse ethnic mix - we had no trouble providing a short list
for them.
The theme for the campaign was ‘Understanding the World’
and the photographs were going to be used for various advertisements,
a big campaign to be shot in London.
 Our
chosen model, Lucas is just 6 years old so was of course accompanied
by his mum Louisa who had this to say:
“Everything went really well at the photo shoot. Lucas was
a little nervous at first because being his first modelling assignment,
he didn't know what to expect. But as he watched the other children
being photographed he began to relax and really enjoy the experience.
When it was his turn he came across as being really confident and
at ease in front of the camera, and was able to produce the shots
that they wanted. I had a few people comment that they couldn't
believe that it was his first job because he was so confident!
Well done Lucas - a great assignment and you have kicked off your
modelling career with one of our top clients, truly putting yourself
in the frame of fame.

Neutral eye shadows are
easy to work with because they blend with one another to compliment
your skin tone, usually use 2 or 3 colours or shades of a colour.
Brown, beiges, gold, olive, pale purple and grey are great.
Apply the lightest colour to the browbone a medium colour just below
the eyelid crease and dark shadow to the eyelids from the lashline
to the crease in the eyelid or as a liner.
There are lots of options for lining your eyes, so choose what you're
most comfortable with, an eye pencil, with built-in smudger for a
smokier look or for a softer line use an eyeliner brush with eye shadow.
Mascara is a great way to give eyelashes added impact. Always start
from the base of your lash and work your way out to the tip, Use black
mascara is great but is you are really fair or want a natural, un-made-up
look use brown as it is much softer looking. If you feel daring, try
coloured mascara in navy or plum; it's a good way to play with colour.

Our Assignments Team are delighted to be working with another prestigious,
Nationwide baby-wear brand. Mamas and Papas is one
of the UK 's leading retailers in the nursery industry and three of
our beautiful babies will be featured in the Spring 2006 catalogue!
 Mamas
and Papas, whose head office is in Huddersfield, requested Models
Direct to supply babies who were able to sit up but could still fit
into 3-6months clothing.
Twins Etienne & Amity from Preston and little Jacob from Chesterfield
were perfect for the assignment and had a wonderful time at the shoot,
modelling the latest spring and summer fashions.
Our babies smiled and gurgled through the hour-long shoot at the Millennium
Studios in York. Etienne & Amity’s Mum Audrey said:
“The twins really enjoyed the experience and it was fun for
me to see them perform for the camera. The clothes they modelled were
really cute!”
Etienne & Amity had been registered with us for only a month when
this fantastic opportunity was offer to their parents, who were thrilled
with the prospect of their child being featured in national advertising!
This assignment is another children’s high profile modelling
assignment we secured and seen all over the UK.
Potential models often worry that if they are not based in the London
area that work will be scarce but actually photo shoots, promotional
assignments and television shoots take place all over the country,
and clients often specifically ask for our regional models.
Late News - We’ve just got four of our newborn baby models into
the Spring ‘06 catalogue!
