It’s awesome, that’s what!
Pardon us for jumping in super quick here, but we literally couldn’t help ourselves!

It’s been brilliant for us as an agency to make these connections and to get our talent hired by the best.

We got a snapshot of our model Tabilodun’s (RBNX-4737) experience of being hired by UK charity, Centrepoint. The charity provides support and accommodation for homeless young people across the UK. Tabilodun shared:
“On the day of my photo shoot I was a bit nervous as it was my first time but I was also really excited and eager to get started the company I worked with were really friendly and welcoming they were constantly making sure I was always alright throughout the day they provided us with meals refreshments and anything else we may have needed we started off the day getting acquainted with everyone on the team e.g. (cameraman, directors, videographer and the other models) we then moved to a few different locations where we would take the photos the cameraman was very nice and helpful he gave clear instructions and directions as to what poses and facial expressions to make throughout the photoshoot we would take regular breaks with refreshments provided majority of the photos taken were solo but there were some group photos the company/cameraman made sure we were comfortable at all times which was very reassuring. The experience I had was extremely fun as it was easy to get along with everyone there. Before the final photoshoot, we went to dinner at a restaurant and had an enjoyable time, which made the experience that much more fun. I would personally say that this is similar to what I expected because overall it was a photoshoot, but I didn’t expect to have such a great time and a thrilling two days. To sum it all up, I had an amazing experience for my first photoshoot. The people I worked with were great. I was extremely happy with the way I was treated, and it is something I would most definitely like to do again.”
