LIVING LIFE TWICE! I had my second assignment from Models Direct last Saturday and, as expected, everything went well. I had good support from the Models Direct team. The photo shoot required me to do a few shots doing day to day activities. The photographer was nice and made me feel comfortable. He was talking all the way through. It is quite fun being a model for the day. I have a full time job, and doing something different is rather refreshing. Feels like I'm living my life twice. I would do it more if I had been selected for more assignments. Thanks to the team.
POSING IN STUNNING GOWNS I had fantastic time modelling bridalwear for the day. I'm very confident so I wasn't nervous beforehand. The part I enjoyed the most was that I got to wear absolutely stunning bridal dresses and pose in front of the camera. I would definitely recommend this experience to other people as I think it is great, especially for models that are just starting to work in the industry. When you work for an agency you can be sure that the people who you work with are professional and your safety is the priority. I have personally chosen to sign up with Models Direct agency to gain more experience in different kinds of modelling. I also believe this assignment can help you out with updating your portfolio which helps to find more assignments in the future. Read more about this modelling job
MODELLING 14 WEDDING DRESSES! I had the most amazing day in Brighton. The photoshoot was for a bridal company called 'Victoria Kay Gowns'. I spent the whole day trying on different bridal gowns and was photographed in different locations around The Thistle Hotel. I wore 14 dresses in total! The people were so friendly and it was lovely to work with Carolina, another model from Models Direct. I can't wait for my next assignment, thank you Models Direct! Read more about this modelling job
GETTING INTO CHARACTER I really enjoyed the experience - everyone at the shoot, including staff from the client company and the other models, was really lovely and easy to work with. The most enjoyable part was getting into 'character' and posing for the camera! It was a photo shoot for an NHS client; I was required to dress as a nurse and pose with the other models, also dressed as nurses, in different locations around a hospital. The experience definitely improved my confidence in doing this kind of work and I'd love to do it again. It also increased my understanding of how these sorts of shoots work. I joined Models Direct as I wanted to gain more experience in working in front of a camera. I hope to pursue a part time acting career in the future and felt this type of experience would improve my confidence. The money is also an attraction! Hopefully the photos came out well!
POCKET MONEY My assignment for Cheil Communications today was a great experience. I only recieved a call this morning asking me to help promote a new Samsung Ap and so I didn't have time to feel too nervous, just very excited! I had to copy a fitness workout that was happenning on a large screen, and try to get as many other people as possible involved in trying out the new Ap. The assignment was very well organised on Models Direct and Cheil Communications' part and I was made to feel welcome and comfortable when I arrived there. I would recommend the experience with Models Direct to others as I had great fun and earnt some nice pocket money!!
FIRST JOB This was my first modelling assignment with Models Direct. It was a morning photoshoot working for NHS Professionals. The shoot was set in a London hospital and it was a lovely opportunity to meet the other models too. The team was really friendly and made it easy to do the shoot. I would definitely like to be considered and put forward for more work like this as it was great fun.
TALKING ON THE JOB I had a lovely day on the Models Direct assignment and met some very nice people. The other models were professional and friendly and the client the same. The most enjoyable part of the assignment was how casual it was. We all ended up talking most of the time and our pictures were taken as we did this. We were directed to look like nurses and just look natural. We had group shots and single shots inside and outside of the hospital. We looked very realistic. I would definitely recommend this experience to others; it was a very good time and great opportunity to meet new people. I believe it is good to join an agency as the main work is done, all you have to do is follow instructions and have fun. I chose Models Direct based on the positive website. It was designed well and the person I spoke to initially was very positive.
FITNESS APP I had a great time working with the people from Cheil. They were very welcoming and eased my nerves. I was asked to promote and demonstrate a brand new, very exciting Samsung TV and fitness App. I had a great time thanks to Models Direct and would definitely do something like this again if the opportunity arose.
REALLY EXCITED! I was really excited and happy to go to the photoshoot that Models Direct arranged and meet new people! I enjoyed the assignment, which was in a hospital and we were wearing nurse’s outfits. It was a great experience to work with a friendly and helpful team and to chat with other models. I think that the modeling opportunities that Models Direct provide are very important, not only for experience and confidence building, but also for making new friends!
FUN 'ZAPPING' I really enjoyed my 3 days modelling for Models Direct at the Renewable energy trade fair at the Excel centre, custom house. I met some really great people and it was interesting finding out more about sustainable energy. The assignment involved welcoming prospective customers to the stall and logging their details for entry into a data base via electronic scanners. We had a lot of fun 'zapping' people with our scanners! I would recommend the experience to others as an enjoyable way to make a bit of extra money and it's also a good way to meet other people working in similar fields, whether it's modelling, acting or the Arts.
DRESSING GLAMOUROUSLY This was my second time hostessing for the National Sporting Club at Twickenham rugby ground, so I wasn't as nervous this time, as I knew what to expect. My assignment was to meet and socialise with guests, keeping them happy. The assignment was fun as I met some lovely people and I got to dress up glamorously. Thank you to Models Direct for enabling me to get the job, I would definitely recommend them. Getting work in the talent industry can be hard, but you should follow your dreams.
MEMORABLE EXPERIENCE My Models Direct assignment at Twickenham has been such a memorable experience. As it has been my second modelling job there, and I have become more confident on the job as well as loving the sociable atmosphere. Thank you.
EVENT MODELLING I have enjoyed my Models Direct jobs over the 2 events at Twickenham and am looking forward to modelling at next year’s round of events.
CLOSE WITH THE GIRLS Once again I loved being able to model/host at the Twickenham Rugby ground. I had such a great time with the girls as we have all become very close. Would love to do it again and I'm sure everyone else would too. Without Models Direct I would never have known about the assignment so I would advise those wanting to become a model to get an AGENT!!!
WORKING AT EXCEL I have taken away a positive experience from this assignment and wouldn’t hesitate to recommend Models Direct modelling agency. The overall experience, which was working at Excel for Renewable Technologies, was a positive one. I was not particularly nervous before hand, as I have a good bit of experience of working at these types of events as a hostess/model. It is something that I would do again as the atmosphere was a good one as well, as the Excel exhibition centre was busy and therefore you always had something to do. The Renewable Technologies employees that my colleague and I were working with on the three days were extremely welcoming and treated us both really well, making us feel part of their team. The assignment involved meeting and greeting all guests that came to the stand, as well as getting them refreshments and passing on any of their enquiries to the correct person in the Renewable Technologies Team. The other main part of the assignment was to scan each person’s badge that made contact with the stand - so that Renewable Technologies could store these details at the end of the day, for potential future business opportunities I look forward to my next assignment.

FOLLOWING DREAMS This was my second time hostessing for the National Sporting Club at Twickenham rugby ground, so I wasn't as nervous this time, as I knew what to expect. My assignment was to meet and socialise with guests, keeping them happy. The assignment was fun as I met some lovely people and I got to dress up glamorously. Thank you to Models Direct for enabling me to get the job, I would definitely recommend them. Getting work in the talent industry can be hard, but you should follow your dreams.
TRYING NEW THINGS I was very nervous for my assignment at the Twickenham rugby club as a hostess. But I had a lot of fun and I would definitely do it again. The reason I joined with Models Direct was because I wanted to try something new and gain some new experiences. On the job I gained confidence by speaking to many different people and would recommend other girls try hostess work because it is a great experience. The most enjoyable part of the assignment was meeting the other girls and meeting and socialising with the catering staff as well. My advice to anyone getting into modelling or hostess work is to not be nervous and have fun.
LOOKING FORWARD TO THE NEXT I didn't know what to expect when I went for my Models Direct assignment for The National Sporting Club, but when I met all the people I was working with I understood what I was doing for the day. I had to welcome all the clients, take their coats and take orders for drinks. Looking forward meeting all the other models I worked with again on the next assignment later this month.
BONUS! I found the Models Direct assignment at the Twickenham Rugby Club very interesting and a different but good experience, as it was something I had not done before. I also found it a bonus as I do enjoy the game of rugby. The other models were very helpful and friendly.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED This Models Direct assignment was the second time I have worked at the Twickenham Rugby Club, so I wasn't too nervous because I knew what to expect. I very much enjoyed it; it was very fun meeting the clients, making conversation and would love to do it again. The most enjoyable part was meeting the clients, talking to them and just having fun. On this assignment I learnt team working skills, as we had to work in a group of 8 models. I would absolutely recommend modelling, meeting and greeting clients is pleasant as most of them are really funny and make you laugh. It's a very good idea to join Models Direct because you get many clients who view your profile and then might book you to be a model; it’s a stepping stone and sets it off. I joined Models Direct because I was particularly interested in doing modelling work and read the feedback Model's Direct had and everyone had positive comments so I decided to join.
NEW EXPERIENCE The hosting job with Models Direct was such a new experience for me. From the beginning, navigating the guests to their seats made me anxious and quite nervous, although I managed to get the hang of it. This is the same for serving the drinks. I still made sure to smile all of the time. I believe the occasion has given me even more confidence. This is because I am not used to crowded places. I really hope I can become better next time. In my opinion, modelling is a great and glamorous job to have; I feel it suits me. Thank you very much for this opportunity.
EXTRA, EXTRA I loved being an extra in an ad very much. It was a good experiment; a glimpse to another world. I liked the feeling of pretending to be someone else. I was very pleased with my model booking agent, who took very good care of me. I would recommend modelling to anyone and I hope I can get more assignments in the future. The reason I have joined with Models Direct is because I am an aspiring singer and think this agency is a great help in achieving my goal; to live and work as a singer. Thanks Models Direct.
THANKS MODELS DIRECT! My modelling assignment involved being a hostess at Twickenham Rugby club. As part of the role I socialised with guests and assisted other members of staff in keeping the guests happy. The job was fun as I enjoy meeting new people. Dressing up glamorous was part of the fun too. I would definitely do the job again. Thanks to Models Direct for helping me get the job.
LOOKING FORWARD The modelling experience with Models Direct on the whole was both pleasant and enjoyable. The assignment required us to greet and entertain guests, escort them to their tables and ensure that they had everything they needed for the day. I found the hours fairly long but we were given a two hour break to compensate. I would recommend this assignment to others and look forward to hopefully working with the client in future.
A MODEL FOR THE DAY Being a model with Models Direct for the day felt very good, much better than my day job! I felt nervous because I wanted to do a good job. I had a lot of fun on the day and I enjoyed making others laugh! I would love to do it again. The most enjoyable part was the feeling of being a full time model for the day! The assignment involved me dressing as a nurse for photos for an NHS brochure; I had to walk with other models and real doctors whilst photos were being taken. My confidence grew the more photos I had taken on the day. I do recommend others to try this out, it’s a lot of people’s dream to be model even if it’s just for a day! I’ve always wanted to do modelling work as people tell me I have a good face and body for it. I have enjoyed it for the experience.
LOVED IT! As this Models Direct assignment was my second time hosting at the Twickenham rugby stadium, my nerves were rather steady. I had a great time and loved meeting up with the other models again! The most enjoyable part had to be interacting with all different people and just generally having a good time. The assignment involved serving drinks and talking with the clients, which was great fun! As a hostess I received many compliments, which made me walk away with a smile on my face, I LOVED IT! I would recommend joining a modelling agency 100% as it was a great way of making money, doing things that you enjoy, being around friendly people and making/ meeting new friends. I would definitely say join an agency like Models Direct, as they help out as much as possible!
GROWING IN CONFIDENCE I had a great experience being a model for the day, it was fun. The most enjoyable part of the assignment, which involved promoting the diverse roles of NHS staff, was meeting others members of the Models Direct agency. Through this job, I believe I have developed my acting skills, and the experience has definitely given me more confidence. To succeed in this industry patience is the key.
PLAYING DOCTORS & NURSES My modelling assignment with Models Direct was to be photographed for a recruitment campaign for the NHS. I had the role of being a doctor and there were 5 other models dressed as other medical staff, and photos were taken of us walking around the hospital. We were asked to look like we were happy in our jobs and to look professional. The photographers and everyone involved were friendly and helpful. I was a little nervous as this was my first assignment and I didn't know what to expect but I quickly felt very comfortable and really enjoyed the experience and would be very happy to do it again.
UPLIFTING EXPERIENCE This was my first experience of modelling, and, although I was a little nervous at first, I was soon put at ease by the other, more experienced models, and the film crew, who were very professional. I decided to join Models Direct agency, not just to boost my income, but to broaden my horizons - and it was fun! I actually enjoyed doing the shoot, which was filmed with me in a Comformatic bed, both sat upright and led down 'asleep'. The bed was actually so comfortable I could have easily fallen asleep! I now have the confidence to pursue this line of work and update my portfolio, which I have neglected to do to date, therefore I haven't really promoted myself. This will now change as I would like to do more as it was quite uplifting, and the money was good!
A WELL-PREPARED MODEL As a professional model undertaking many jobs in many locations, I was not nervous before this Models Direct shoot for Comformatic because I relied on my experience and professionalism. The day before the shoot, I spent time checking and packing my wardrobe and making sure I had plenty of choices of clothes for the client. I also packed make-up, hair essentials, my model portfolio, and took copies of maps and location instructions with me before I set out. I made sure I was on time, and introduced myself to the people in charge of the shoot. I conducted myself in a quiet, businesslike and conscientious manner. The assignment involved being filmed 1) at the front door of the house welcoming the bed fitter, and 2) in twin bed with a male model, reading magazines, pretending to be asleep, using the controls on the electrically operated bed. The gentleman representing the bed company was kind and courteous to us all. Each job brings a new experience, and of course, confidence comes from knowing that one is doing a great job. Would I recommend the experience to others? Yes, if they are comfortable with the camera, and prepared to put the work in beforehand, have huge amounts of patience, and understand that there is a lot of hanging around on the shoot day.
