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.

What a fantastic photoshoot with so many amazing products shortly due to hit the market. The children had a blast!
Models Direct kept us up-to-date with important details leading up to the shoot, ensured all questions were answered, and shared a clear itinerary so we all knew what to expect in advance.
On set, the photographers and client put the children and ease, quickly built a rapport and balanced support with giving them the freedom they needed to really show the products off. The children’s input was valued throughout the day and it was a great opportunity for the client to ‘road-test’ the products too.
Models Direct followed up with us the next morning and shared some brilliant feedback. Their communication and support throughout has been exemplary.
Overall, there was lots of fun and laughter, and some fabulous photos as a result. The whole experience has given the children a real confidence boost and they can’t wait to get involved in more!"

I had the pleasure of participating in a shoot today, and I wanted to share my experience. The day began with a warm welcome at reception, where I enjoyed a refreshing cup before heading to the set. There, I met Chris Golding, whose exuberance whose and detailed briefing set the tone for the day. His perspective in the country setting and clear outline of the project were both engaging and informative.
Caitlin, one of the key team members then arrived, while others assumed their roles. I was particularly struck by the fact that two of the carers featured were real-life community staff. Their soothing presence and dedication brought a genuine energy which was infectious.
The photographer’s expertise was exceptional, with some great lighting and angles for every scene. The shoot was a pleasure, thanks to the variety of backdrops—kitchen, living room, bedroom, garden, and market—each thoughtfully scouted. Some scenes were bathed in soft pastel hues, while others, like the riverside walk, were beautifully dappled, creating a joyful atmosphere. The focused nature of the work yet on such a pleasant day was disciplining.
The shoot balanced the challenge of portraying the emotional weight of separation with the need to make the living accommodation accessible and appealing. Having experienced loss myself last year, I found the sensitivity with which this was handled quite moving.
Thank you for the opportunity to be part of it and I look forward to future collaborations.
Best regards, David Dean

"Elsie and Mummy had a fun two days on set in Wales. We spent the first day at the beach, and the weather was lovely for most of the day. We made friends quickly with the other families involved in the shoot. The day was enjoyable and went surprisingly quickly. We spent the second day in two different locations. Firstly, in the park, on the swings, scaling the climbing frames and running around with elsie’s new-found best friend Annabelle. The second location was set in the woodlands by a beautiful castle just outside neath. A stroll by the stream further into the countryside, a spot of fishing and splashing away in the water was a great way to finish off our second day. A thoroughly enjoyable first experience, a brilliant learning curve, and hopefully the start of many more to come for Elsie."
