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.
Great shoot! Friendly clients and onsite team who were great with the girls who looking forward to the next shoot!

Hi, I want to say first of all how helpful, enthusiastic and supportive Gemma was at every stage of my experience modelling so successfully once again for Models Direct.
I was glad to do it for such a good cause too - Alzheimer's Research UK and found it a very interesting and eye opening experience.
The crew I worked with were all really lovely people. I found them welcoming, warm and they offered very helpful guidance and positive feedback throughout the process. I could see how passionate they were about Alzheimer's UK. My partner for the day was very pleasant and we got on well.
All in all an excellent experience. I'm very happy to have been selected for the shoot.

Today was my very first ad shoot, and I have to say, it was an exciting, fun-filled, and eye-opening experience.
From the moment I arrived at the studio, there was a buzz of energy in the air. The team was welcoming, and everyone seemed to be in their zone, preparing for what would turn out to be an unforgettable day. As we got started with the first few shots, I was amazed at how many people were behind the scenes, coordinating everything to perfection. The lighting, camera angles, and even the smallest details were all being adjusted to ensure the best results.
It was fascinating to see all the effort that goes into creating a perfect shot. While I expected there to be a lot of waiting around and setting up, the team made it smooth and fun with music, laughter, and light conversation. By midday, I felt like I had settled into my role and was having a blast.
It was not just about posing; it was about feeling the moment and connecting with the camera. I definitely felt more comfortable as the day went on, and there were several moments where I genuinely enjoyed being in front of the camera.
I would also thank my agent, Charlie, for her constand and prompt response to every query I had and in making this process as smooth and memorable as possible for me. In short, my first ad shoot was a thrilling experience. It was everything I hoped for and more, and I can’t wait to do it again!

A wonderful day, with great vibes and a friendly atmosphere. Charlie is lovely. The assignment was chilled, and laid back. I enjoyed it thoroughly.

I was thoroughly impressed with the organisation and caring attitude of all the TV crew involved during the assignment. Being a model for the day was really good fun and loved every minute of it! The best thing about the assignment was ending up with a gorgeous new hair colour/cut by a top London hairdresser. I was asked to Discuss new hair products with the presenter and produce an online video showing the various steps of dying hair from your home. I had quite a few speaking lines and a little acting involved too. Some thing I would say to someone thinking of being a model is It can be very glamorous and the money is well paid however, there are long hours and early morning starts involved too! As long as you are confident, organised and have a sense of humour, modelling is definitely a great profession.

Models direct were so informative, they called me before hand to make sure I was happy with everything and then the day after the shoot to see how it when.
Many thanks for a great day.

A cherished experience
It was so much better than I ever could have expected! The team were so welcoming and considerate to every model's individual needs.
The day was well structured and we were all clearly instructed on exactly what to do.
They kindly arranged for us to regularly have breaks, and food for the day. It was overall a really fun and humorous environment- I spent most of the time chatting and laughing with everyone else and made so many new friends of all kinds!
