Working with this company was such a genuinely lovely experience. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with warmth, kindness and a really positive atmosphere. Even though the session was fast-paced to fit everything into the timeframe, the team made sure I felt comfortable and supported throughout.
They walked me through every part of the process as many times as I needed, offered drinks, set up a portable heater because the warehouse was cold, and made sure I had privacy whenever I needed it. They also helped with hair and make-up, and their photographer was so friendly and reassuring — it made the whole shoot feel relaxed, fun, and natural rather than strict or pressured.
There were lots of smiles, lots of laughing and so much encouragement. I genuinely enjoyed every shoot and working with their products. Overall, it was such a lovely experience and I would 100% work with them again.

First JobWith this being my first job in the industry I didn’t really know what to expect. However from the minute I got to the job I was made to feel at ease but also throughout the day. I met some great people, and these people had previous experience. Which really helped me when doing the still shots, as it was meant to show people having a good enjoyable time.I’m looking forward to seeing the final shots, but also hopefully getting more jobs through models direct.
Considering my profile has only been live for 2 weeks, I hope this puts me in good stead.
The whole process has been very professional, Gemma has been brilliant. Sending me all the relevant info, and stating she’s there if you have any questions.Thanks to all at models direct again!

The client and the other model were lovely and I really enjoyed the morning.
We did have a giggle pretending to be patients for the morning! Hopefully there are some great shots for the new website.
The Models Direct manager who prepared me for the shoot was very knowledgeable and helpful.
Looking forward to the next one!

Lots of fun!
Had a great time at my first shoot for the NHS at West London Studios.
I'm a newcomer to modelling and registered with models direct with no expectations. I was blown away to get my first gig which was fun and friendly.
Hard work and an all round great experience.

The staffs were lovely and welcoming.
It wasn't as nerve racking as I taught it would be mostly because everything was well organised.
Drinks were offered as soon as we arrived, clear explanation and goal of the day was given at the beginning which helped understand what was expected of me.

Had a very positive first experience with Models Direct.
They were great at communicating before and after the event and put me at ease in what to expect and how to prepare for it.
The day itself was straight forward, the team were clear what they needed and everyone was super friendly.
Would definitely recommend using them.

When we received the call from Models Direct about the assignment, we were very excited as it was the first time Adam was called for a shoot. We told him that he was going to play in a little movie. Adam thought it was going to play in Annie, the musical - he was very excited and couldn't wait. On the way to the set we explained his role which was to play happy child of foster parents and play with them on a bed. Anyway, Adam who is a very sociable child got along with everyone on set - the actors, the producers etc and he did exactly as he was told. The more Adam was asked to repeat his scene, the better he was getting as he bonded with his model parents. Overall, Adam said that he had a great time and he would do it again!
