“I want for you to know that my shoot on Friday turned out to be a 100% success and I was very satisfied to have undertaken this assignment. My only regret was the difficulty in finding the venue by relying on busses when there happened to be a tram depot just across the road! This I discovered after I left the shoot but luckily, the event had been postponed for an hour and a half - so I was in fact early! I met with Jeremy and his photographer along with another girl from Models Direct already in the car being photographed. Sorry I did not get any pre-shoot photos of the event but I really didn't want to disrupt the work going on. I didn't understand the concept of the seatbelt extender at first but now I realised how useful it would be for plus-size drivers - and why I was chosen for the shoot! All in all I cannot fault the afternoon's work and upon leaving, they appeared as pleased with me as I was with them. I hope this product will become a roaring success and I feel pleased to have been a part in its launch. Thanks for the opportunity and hope to work with Models Direct again in the near future.”

“Professionalism at its finest
It was nice to be back on a set and working alongside other professionals, the shoot today went smoothly and we were all looked after and considered.
As there was a lot of equipment and setting up to be done, there was some down time however production made sure we were aware what was going on and thanked us for our patience.
Everyone was lovely and it is always great to network with other models and hear about their experiences. Production was clear on what shots they were looking for and gave excellent direction for what was needed.
All in all, it was a great day and I am glad I got to be a part of it.
Date of experience: 28 November 2024”
