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.

I did a shoot for a pub and had a really great day overall. I travelled to Manchester with my partner the staff were very friendly and explained what was going on and where to go.
We spent some time waiting and then after lunch we took part in a photo and video shoot which was enjoyable and fun.
Gemma from models direct has been fantastic keeping in touch and ensuring we had everything we needed!

Just had my first shoot -
I just had my first shoot which was actually really good.
It was for a students accommodation advert.
There was many other models to work with. Working along with them was really fun and the other team behind it was good as well.
They helped with the shoot and explained what to do and how to act in such situation.
As a first time i really enjoyed the shoot and the process.
Looking forward for more shoots as well

I had the opportunity to be part of the Greene King modelling shoot, and overall it was a smooth and relaxed day, though quite slow-paced.
I arrived at 9 AM and spent the majority of the morning, until around midday, in the waiting room with the rest of the talent. The team was friendly and accommodating, and there was a chilled atmosphere, but there wasn’t much going on for most of that time. We then had an hour-long lunch break from 12 to 1 PM, which gave us a good chance to recharge and catch up with others on set.
After lunch, I was called onto set and spent about an hour and a half standing at the bar, acting as a background extra while the main shots were taken. It was straightforward and easy to follow direction, and the production crew were clear with what they needed. Once that wrapped, it was back to the waiting area again, where we stayed until we were dismissed.
Although there wasn’t a huge amount of activity throughout the day, the environment was positive, and everyone was easy to work with
Thanks for the opportunity

A wonderful exciting experience . It was my first time on shoot and didn't really know what to expect. A warm welcome and pointed in the right direction by the crew. The opportunity to meet other people taking part in the shoot that day was interesting and at the same time intriguing to get to talk to so many different people. My experience of the day was that I had loads of fun and laughs once I became less nervous. The only criticism of the day was the communication it could have been more fluent at times slightly confusing didn't know whether I needed to stay or go? That said all in all a fabulous day with fabulous people thank you for this new experience. Look forward to doing more.

This is my first shoot with Models Direct and I must say it was a beautiful experience.The shoot was seamlessly engaging and fun...it almost didn't feel like work atall.The energy of other models seemed to match a great deal. I met other models at the shoot who are from Models Direct too. Felt like a good representation from the agency.And then the video and photography team were all cordial and amazing. They made the shoot easy and fun.Would definitely love to have this a couple of more times.
