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.

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 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!

This was my first time doing a shoot.Alice the organiser for the shoot was fantastic and made me feel at ease straight away.Paul the photographer certainly knew his stuff and we had some good laughs.My co models were all lovely.The only sort of down side was the weather, it rained and rained and the wind was more like November or December instead of May.But, saying that I still enjoyed the day and it was a great experience.

Monroe had a great time at her photo shoot. She was a bit shy to begin with, but the team put her at ease and soon enough she was relaxed and enjoying the shoot. She loved the outfits she wore and was over the moon to be given some clothes to take home. The snacks were delicious too!Date of experience: 01 March 2025

Don’t worry if you don’t have catwalk or film-star looks. For many assignments, clients are looking for ‘real’ models – people who their audience can relate to. No matter how you look, you could find paid modelling work.
Of course, nothing is guaranteed, either in terms of assignments or earnings. We can only offer the work our clients provide. But we’ll put you forward whenever your look is called for, giving you chance to find modelling work that’s really rewarding – in every sense.
