A MILLION DOLLAR BABE I decided to join Models Direct because I am ambitious and I want to earn extra money using my skills and looks. As a fitness instructor and dancer I invest so much time in my figure and image that I believe it is the natural course of action to add some modelling, or similarly related work, in order to boost my career and my monthly earnings. The day was amazing! It all went smoothly and the outfits and look were perfect. The designer and her team were fantastic and I felt completely at ease. I was a little nervous beforehand but it all came naturally once I was in front of the camera. The most amazing experience was wearing 'a million dollar babe' outfits and posing in front of the camera. The assignment involved hair and make up and clothes modelling (changing into about 18 outfits overall). I was simply required to pose in many ways - and as I was relaxed and knew what I was doing it worked well. It was clear to me the mood that the designer had in mind so I worked according to that, checking myself in the mirror in different outfits to understand what poses would enhance the look of it. I suppose now that I realised how natural it comes to me to pose and model.I would recommend it of course. It's a fun experience, a confidence booster and perfect for someone that works part-time and in a related industry. It is a good idea to be represented by an agency; in fact it's the only way to get some work if you are serious about modelling or related assignments. I will be more active and proactive in pursuing work and uploading and updating my portfolio, as I felt greatly encouraged by this assignment today.
TOTALLY WORTH IT It felt really good to be a promotional model at National Sporting Club for the second time and I had a great time with the other models. I can say I definitely gain more and more experience and confidence after each assignment finishes. It is amazing what great opportunities Models Direct can give you. I would certainly recommend everyone to join the agency and if you haven't what are you waiting for? It's totally worth it.
POSITIVE ENVIRONMENT I had a great time working as a promotional model at the VIP section at a rugby match. It was fun working with the other staff and it was a very positive environment where the work was enjoyable. Thank you Models Direct.
WEDDING DRESSES A-PLENTY! It felt great doing this modelling assignment, they made me feel really welcome and the best part of the job was posing for the pictures. I was asked to try on different wedding gowns and have a couple of photos taken with each of them on. I would definitely recommend it to others because the agency has always got assignments for you, and are willing to help you fulfil the criteria requested by the client. My advice to others would be to always update your e-portfolio so you will be more likely to be put forward for assignments. Also when you're on an assignment - do the best you can so you will get good feedback. I decided to join up with Models Direct mainly because of my ambition for modelling; it’s always been a passion of mine from a young age.
ACHIEVE YOUR DREAMS I really enjoyed this assignment - I had to model for an upcoming Football World Cup billboard. The most enjoyable part was engaging with the photographer and working with the stylist. I would definitely recommend Models Direct agency as they are very professional and are determined to help you achieve your dreams.
SITTING IN A STUNNING DRESS My assignment was great fun. I was modelling plus size bridal wear for Beau Belles, so I got to be a bride for the day. I was dressed in many different styles and colours of dresses and was photographed and videoed whilst wearing each dress. The shots were for their website and YouTube, so their clients could see what each dress looks like.I was very nervous about the assignment before I went and was still nervous once I got there. But Avril the shop owner and the photographer were lovely and put me at ease straight away. I spent a lot of the time having fun and giggling. I'd definitely do this type of shoot again and it has boosted my confidence a lot. I don't think I will be as scared on my next shoot, I can hopefully go feeling a little more relaxed. My favourite part of this shoot was wearing the biggest dress she had and sitting on the floor surrounded by a stunning dress.I think if anyone is looking to get into this industry they would be better with an agency as they can help you find work and know where to look. Models Direct have been great helping me find work to suit me and putting me forward for it as and when it comes up. I picked this agency because they seemed to be the best at what I was looking for. I looked at quite a few before I picked, but Models Direct offered all the things and more to suit me.
WARM, FRIENDLY AND ACCOMMODATING I have done a few assignments now and it is something I very much enjoy. I certainly appreciate the opportunity to do something different. The client was great, welcoming and it was a fun day. You get the most out of the assignment by being warm, friendly and accommodating, not by being moody or bored. You need to appreciate that there can be some waiting around and it's not just about you - it's about the client. If you realise this then you will most certainly get out of it what you put in. From working in the corporate world I very much enjoy this side of things, and if I get a job then that's great. If I don't, I certainly don't stress over it. There is a lot of competition out there, so by being personable and friendly it can help make you much more memorable and likely to be chosen for another assignment. I have always found Models Direct to be lovely and helpful...
POSES AND PROPS This was my first assignment and to be honest I was very nervous, but everyone made me feel comfortable and at ease. The directors were very attentive and the photographer was a nice guy. We all had great fun with the different poses and props. I learnt to be more creative and confident from this shoot and would definitely like to do this again. I would recommend anyone to try it – it is a fun day out and I think it is something that anyone can do at any age. It is always best to update profile regularly for people to see how you look and make any changes if applicable. Models Direct is the best agency to start at a minimum cost for a highly lucrative career. It has been a great experience!
GOAL...! It felt great being a model for FIFA. One of the most enjoyable parts was trying on all the different outfits. We were put in groups and wore different colours amongst ourselves and we were asked to scream and shout "yeah" and "goal" to show our excitement and happiness to be at the football match. I improved my acting skills and became more confident about making faces and expressions. I would definitely recommend this experience to a lot of people as it helps you as an individual in many ways to build confidence levels and professional skills.My advice to any aspiring models / actors would be to believe in yourself and go for what you want, if you believe runway is where your heart is - focus on it, the same applies to commercial modelling and every other talent opportunity you may have. Joining an agency is great as they constantly find you work, they push you in positive ways and by providing you with work, you are able to grow in the industry and be comfortable and confident when called for assignments. I joined Models Direct because I believe I have more than one talent, and by joining an agency that focuses on talent I believed they would be able to help me - and also I would get to do the things that I love and enjoy doing!
A GREAT OPPORTUNITY I really enjoyed my latest assignment. It was a relaxed and fun day but it was also kept extremely professional throughout. It was great to meet new people and when we weren’t behind the camera we were able to relax and socialise with other models and the producing team. The models were a mix of ages and the youngest ones were particularly funny behind the camera. The shoot was great. We were able to be natural and everyone worked well as a team. Thank you Models Direct for giving me this opportunity.
PART OF SOMETHING GLOBAL Being a model for the day was great especially as it was for a well-known football company (FIFA), at first I was a little nervous but as more people turned up everyone was friendly and everyone seemed to get along with one another. This shoot was fun and enjoyable, if I was given the opportunity to do something like this again I would definitely do it.To be honest I enjoyed the whole assignment, especially with meeting new people and being part of something that will be going global for a well-known company. This assignment allowed you to be in your own comfort zone and enjoy what you were directed to do.This assignment involved us acting as though we were at a football match and cheering on our teams. We were put into groups of different ethnic backgrounds. Before our pictures were taken we had the opportunity to be styled by the stylists who provided different colour T-shirts and face painting. Once we were finished being styled by the stylist we were directed to go down stairs to take pictures. A wide range of different pictures were taken. We were directed by the photographer to cheer as though a goal was scored, showing that we were enjoying our time at the game with friends and family.I would definitely say that this has boosted my confidence and that I would not hesitate to do another shoot similar to this. The photographer and groups of people helped each other make it a great experience and boost one another’s confidence. I would recommend the experience to others as people tend to have a different understanding and approach to the modelling industry. This assignment was a fun and an enjoyable experience that I would love to do again.I would personally say go for it, it’s not every day that you get an opportunity to be part of something that could possible go global. At first I wasn’t sure if I should join an agency as you do hear that some companies are not legit but after singing up with Models Direct and receiving this assignment I knew that I could trust them. At first I was very proactive with keeping my e-portfolio up to date and I would get many emails saying that my e-profile has been looked at for an assignment but never received a call, so I left it for a while then eventually I got the call to be part of a shoot for FIFA.I’ve always wanted to have that experience of being a model for a day or even to be in an advert so after searching many agencies I decided to join Models Direct to gain that experience.
FAMILY FUN! The experience was fun – particularly for the children! It was really interesting for the kids to see how filming / cameras work. We had to do lots of acting as if we were watching TV as a family, talking and enjoying ourselves. The company were really lovely and although one of the children felt a little nervous before we started they were soon made to feel very at ease. I'm sure the children have gained some confidence from this Models Direct assignment and we would all consider doing it again.
CONFIDENCE BOOST I was a bit nervous at first, but as I got to know the people and crew it became much more fun. I'd love to do more assignments with Models Direct and it definitely gave me a confidence boost in front of the camera.
HATS AWAY! Being a hat model for Snoxell Headwear was an amazing experience. On this assignment I had to present and model fascinators and hats for different occasions to potential customers at Olympia Exhibition Centre in London. The client was very accommodating and made my day easy and fun, and I am happy I had the opportunity to improve my modelling skills. Also the Models Direct team were very helpful, they were readily available to provide support and answer any questions I might have. The overall experience was incredible, much better than I expected!
MY FOURTH ASSIGNMENT! This was my fourth time as a promotional model for the day so I wasn’t that nervous as I knew what to expect. I must say it was fun talking to all the clients as they were very excited for the match. I would absolutely recommend this as it is a fun and easy job and it is definitely a good move to become part of an agency. What have you got to lose? This way when you have an agency people can see you and I have got a number of roles from Models Direct which has been great.
FIRST ASSIGNMENT IN JUST TWO WEEKS! Within a couple of weeks of joining up with Models Direct, I was lucky enough to receive a call offering me work as a promotional model for a fashion boutique on Oxford Street in London. As it was my first assignment I was a bit nervous, however as soon as I arrived I was teamed up with the other models. Everyone was really nice and friendly and they all made me feel very welcome.
MY SECOND ASSIGNMENTI was really excited to be chosen again by Models Direct. I had such an amazing time being a promotional model on Saturday. It was my second assignment and I wasn't as nervous as I was on the first one. I went feeling confident and I had lots of fun. Once I got there I met the client and the other girls - it was great to make some new friends. The people were very friendly and the environment itself it was enjoyable. I would definitely recommend this assignment, as it was a new experience and great fun.
GETTING PAID TO HAVE FUNThis was my first assignment with Models Direct so I was really nervous beforehand, but after meeting the client and the other girls my nerves settled a little bit. The assignment involved promoting a new designer clothes store in London. Towards the end I actually felt like I was getting paid to have fun!
ONE STEP CLOSER TO MY DREAMSI enjoyed working as a model promoter on this assignment. The best part of the assignment was getting the phone call from my Models Direct. It was a great feeling knowing that I was considered. I would really recommend this agency to everyone as they are very professional and government regulated so the clients are carefully selected by them. I decided to join this agency to get some good experience and get one step closer to my dreams of becoming a commercial model.
A GREAT STEP UP INTO THE INDUSTRYI had a great day working as a promotional model for a designer clothing store on this assignment. I met some lovely people and I really appreciated being given the opportunity to represent Models Direct. I was eager to meet the people I would be working with who turned out to be very friendly. I would definitely recommend the experience, as you are able to work alongside a great team. If you are thinking of joining this agency I would say go ahead - it's a great step up into the industry.
FASHION FUNI was looking forward to the assignment the money and the girls that I was working with kept me motivated. I enjoyed being a promotional model for a new shop as I love fashion - it was for a top designer clothes store in Oxford Circus. I gained some good experience and improved my confidence. I am glad I decided to join with Models Direct as it has given me an insight in to what promotion is all about!
BECOMING CONFIDENTThe assignment was good fun. I had to generate interest in a new shop as a promotional model. I picked up and built upon my previous experience of doing this kind of work. It is a good experience, you become confident in experimenting with different methods of generating interest. It is a good as you get to meet new people, acquire new skills - and have the chance to make some money! I decided to join Models Direct to gain some new experiences and achieve new things.
A PERFECT FIT I am having fun working on the assignments as a shoe fitting model for Matalan, even though it was the first time I'd ever done anything like this before it was an enjoyable experience and I am pleased to be working with them. Models Direct are very helpful whenever I need to contact them, and they always answer any queries and questions I have - I would recommend working with them.
AN EDUCATIONAL SHOOT I had such an amazing time being a model and actress yesterday - I got to be nurse at an actual hospital. With it being my first assignment I was pretty nervous on my way to the hospital but as soon as I got there and met everyone I felt instantly at ease and much more confident. I couldn't name just one part of the day that was the most enjoyable as I had great fun the whole day. Playing a nurse was fun and I got to keep the uniform which was a nice little added bonus. The shoot was for a patch that is soon to be launched in hospitals for cancer patients so the shoot was also very educational. I would definitely recommend doing this to friends as it does give you an amazing high and a big confidence boost. It was so nice to meet other people and share experiences... one of the guys had actually worked with Speilberg! I joined Models Direct a while ago and was starting to lose faith, but it is fully restored now and I am very glad I signed up! Read more about this modelling job
MASTERING NEW SKILLS I felt really privileged to be recruited as a promotional model for 3 weekends running! I felt a little nervous, but I am confident and love socialising and meeting new people. When I got there all the girls were lovely and I found that I had lots in common with the majority of them - we got on so well! I am still in regular contact with the girls from the agency and I had great fun throughout the whole assignment. The assignment involved meeting and greeting the guests, seating them and looking after them throughout their stay. I learnt new skills such as how to carry a tray with 8 drinks on it and not spill any of them, it was on the last day I mastered this. It is definitely something I would love to do again - my favourite part was socialising with all of the guests and making sure that they were being well looked after and that I was doing my job as expected. I would certainly recommend this assignment as it was a good experience and if you are sociable confident and helpful then this is the perfect assignment for you. This was my first assignment and the main reason I wanted to do it was because it was full of variety and used a lot of different skills. Joining this agency is great because it allows you to get work suited to your talents. The main factor that encouraged me to join Models Direct was the opportunity to be involved in a wide spectrum of areas within the industry. Fantastic experience – I am looking forward to the next assignment. Read more about this modelling job
PERSONAL AMBITION This was my first assignment and it was great, I really enjoyed the whole experience. I felt a little bit nervous at the beginning but once I started it was all okay. I was a promotional model and I had to make sure everything went well, socialize, take people to their tables and serve them drinks. The best part about the assignment was meeting new people and earning money. Everyone was friendly and the job itself was fun and enjoyable. This experience has made me feel more confident and I would love to do an assigment like this again. My personal ambition made me decide to join up with Models Direct.

HARD WORK BUT FUN-FILLED My assignment was great. All three days were hard work but were fun-filled and all within a relaxed environment. We were required to socialise with guests and make sure they were happy, keep their drinks were topped up and generally provide a good service. It was good to meet other people within the industry that your working with and the team were great fun. If it wasn't for this Models Direct I wouldn't have had this experience. Thank you.

KEEP FOLLOWING YOUR DREAM I had a great experience on the assignment and everyone was very professional and welcoming.

I was required to serve drinks and keep guests happy throughout the day. Over all it was a very pleasant experience. I decided to join Models Direct for the huge range of contacts and knowledge to get the right work for me. I would say to anyone working in the talent industry to keep following your dream and work hard and you will achieve your goals :-) Read more about this modelling job
A LEG-UP IN THE INDUSTRY I enjoyed the day's modelling assignment and got on really well with the photographer.

I would recommend joining a talent agency like Models Direct as it gives you a leg-up in the industry, and gets you one step closer to great opportunities. Read more about this modelling job
