Every day, we receive requests for models from all types of clients: creative agencies, events promoters and businesses. Each and every one is looking for models to appear in advertising, marketing, promotions, conferences or exhibitions, and each assignment is a paid assignment for our registered models!
For many of our models, modelling is much more than a fun day out or a chance to look great. It’s also a way to earn some very valuable extra cash. Even if you don’t become a top earner, paid modelling work can still be a useful supplement to your income.

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.

I thoroughly enjoyed my latest acting role, although I was slightly nervous beforehand as it was the biggest job I have had, however the team really made me feel at ease. I enjoyed shooting all the scenes. I filmed for an NHS information film and had to be filmed using the various facilities around the hospital. I gained some new insight into what it is like to be an actor i.e. how long scenes can take to film. I also gained confidence from the experience and feel it will help with my future bookings. I would recommend the experience to others as it was a useful and enjoyable experience. I would tell anyone looking to get into the talent industry to join an agency, which is a very useful move as well as maintaining a quality and up to date portfolio. I am always on Models Direct's websites and social media keeping an eye out for jobs as being proactive is important in order to obtain more work. I joined up with Models Direct to gain more experience and pursue my dream career as an actor and model, and they have really helped me to move forward in this field.

computer solitaire game, i also had to get on the bus into town to do
another photo shoot going in and out of a Pub,Supermarket, using the
Cash Machine and posing to be shopping and finally paying at the

This lovely video feedback from our model Zane for his assignment filming a commercial for Pukka pads last week! On Wednesday I had my first assignment through Models Direct. We did 2 commercials for Pukka Pads. One was for a Puka Fun Colouring Book where we used iPads to scan it and it would come to life and it was really cool. The second one was for this really cool putty and I had just an amazing time.
See the finished Pukka Pads commercial below and on Facebook here featuring Models Direct models Zane, Jacob and India.

Arrived at a very beautiful venue and warmly welcomed by the filming crew. Was showed around the venue and offered drinks and some breakfast! Had quick wardrobe check and then got ready for some shots. Was a very friendly team and made me feel very comfortable. It was also really fun. Although this was a last minute booking we were fully informed and Models Direct checked in with us at the end of the day to see how it had gone.

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
