“First Modelling
I had an excellent experience with Models Direct through - from onboarding to being contacted about a job, and the check-in afterwards.
Gemma and Charlie communicated well throughout, making me feel comfortable about the shooting day.
I strongly recommend them!
Date of experience: 12 March 2025”

“Filming the Bensons for Beds commercial was a great experience, I learnt a lot. It was the first time that I had shot a TV ad, so it was all new to me. So much goes on behind screen that you don't even think of! I enjoyed working alongside my 'boyfriend' Dan, and Kim was lovely too. It was a very long day (arriving at 7.30 finishing at 6.30), but Vidu and all the crew were really nice and they kindly put on food for us. The make up and wardrobe girls were really helpful too.
I'm excited (if not a little nervous?!) to see the ad once it has been put together!”

“I have been extremely impressed with Models Direct as an Agency due to many factors. From the registration process with Heidi who actually had conversations with me and didn't make me feel like just a number to get on their books to pay the fee, but who I felt was completely genuine, watching their active and impressive social media postings (hoping one day I would be up there!), good luck wishes and well done posts and stories, to being active in looking for work for me from the beginning.
And then there's Gemma! Gemma has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She was so helpful in booking in my first job with Models Direct and was in regular contact, sending through booking information, promptly answered any queries that I had, helped me to feel at ease in the lead up, wished me luck on the day and then followed up after the shoot. Gemma really is a credit to the agency as she is professional, friendly, personable, positive, full of encouragement and very knowledgeable.
I am still smiling from ear to ear after the shoot yesterday as I couldn't have asked for a better first experience! My male model partner was a perfect match for me, and the photographers were so helpful, experienced, laid back, calming and such a pleasure to work with, we all enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and had such a laugh! The client was very accommodating also, looked after us very well and made us feel special.
I honestly can't thank Models Direct and Gemma enough and will always have the fondest memories of my first shoot!”
