Today was my very first ad shoot, and I have to say, it was an exciting, fun-filled, and eye-opening experience.
From the moment I arrived at the studio, there was a buzz of energy in the air. The team was welcoming, and everyone seemed to be in their zone, preparing for what would turn out to be an unforgettable day. As we got started with the first few shots, I was amazed at how many people were behind the scenes, coordinating everything to perfection. The lighting, camera angles, and even the smallest details were all being adjusted to ensure the best results.
It was fascinating to see all the effort that goes into creating a perfect shot. While I expected there to be a lot of waiting around and setting up, the team made it smooth and fun with music, laughter, and light conversation. By midday, I felt like I had settled into my role and was having a blast.
It was not just about posing; it was about feeling the moment and connecting with the camera. I definitely felt more comfortable as the day went on, and there were several moments where I genuinely enjoyed being in front of the camera.
I would also thank my agent, Charlie, for her constand and prompt response to every query I had and in making this process as smooth and memorable as possible for me. In short, my first ad shoot was a thrilling experience. It was everything I hoped for and more, and I can’t wait to do it again!

Today’s photo shoot went really well! The energy on set was great, and everything came together smoothly—from the lighting setup to the direction and overall flow.
I felt confident and comfortable, which really helped bring out the best in the shots. There were definitely a few standout moments where the creative vision really clicked. I’m excited to see the final edits and feel like we captured something special. Looking forward to the next one already!
I was honestly a bit nervous at first—those pre-shoot jitters definitely kicked in. But as soon as we got started, the team made me feel so relaxed and at home. Their energy was warm and supportive, and it really helped me settle in quickly. Before I knew it, I was fully in the zone and enjoying every moment.

Excellent service and wonderful experience.
I had my first booking with Models Direct today. It was a Charity Photoshoot to raise awareness about Crohn's and Colitis.
It was a moving experience meeting and speaking people with Crohn's Disease. They were really kind and very open to discussions, which I found insightful.
The ambience all through the charity shoot was very welcoming and so lovely. The term, models and all were all so pleasant and inclusive and so it felt more like a wonderful outing with family and friends. This made me feel less nervous and more relaxed.
All the information I received from Gemma from the initial telephone call, emails and messages up to the date of the shoot was most helpful. Thank you Gemma. Thank you so much. I had a great experience and I thank Models Direct immensely for the opportunity of being a part of this amazing charity shoot.
