ART MODELLING I had a great time doing art modelling for a lovely group of talented artists. I have never done art modelling before. It is a skill in itself trying to stay as still as possible and I am grateful for the experience and would love to do this type of work again. The most enjoyable part of this assignment was seeing the outcome – 15 paintings of myself and seeing how talented the artists were - amazing. I gained positive feedback from the client and artists. I felt I carried out the assignment well and what was required of me. I think it is a good thing being part of Models Direct as clients can view your e-portfolio and you can get selected for assignments and I personally find it very enjoyable. I was very happy to represent the modelling agency and I look forward to other assignments in the future.
GROWING CONFIDENCE Day two at The White Company, this time in Marylebone Road. Another fun night of wearing lovely comfy clothes and meeting new people. It really didn't feel like work at all and my confidence has really grown. It was so lovely to see the other Models Direct model Elena again - I met Elena on my first assignment with Models Direct and we instantly hit it off! Modelling with her helped me with my nerves; she completely put me at ease and showed me the ropes! We had so much fun! We've since exchanged numbers and are hoping to meet up soon. I really hope I'm lucky enough to have another assignment. Fingers crossed!
ENHANCING A MODELLING CAREER What better location for a job than the White Company in Sloane Square? As I used to live in Chelsea, that made me instantly feel like home. I had a wonderful time yet again in my modelling career. I also got to work with a charming lady, Natalie, also a modelling assigned by Models Direct. We had great fun and I believe we both enjoyed working with each other. As we were asked to change in a room with no full length mirrors, we ended up being each other's mirror and that worked perfectly well. Stasha Subotic, a wonderful lady who works for the White Company in Symons Street (located just behind Peter Jones) was of great help. We needed a hand with our quick changes as we were flying in and out of the changing room straight on the shop floor. A big thank you to all involved who were extremely supportive: Katie at Models Direct, Stasha and all the staff at the White Company in Sloane Square. Also, thank you for the glass of champagne served on our way out! I had to wear four different outfits while Sally-Ann was describing the clothes I was modelling. Easy and fun! The audience was extremely friendly and the atmosphere relaxed. To many more such jobs!
A GREAT EVENING So happy to have been chosen by Models Direct to model for The White Company. It was a great evening and fun to model. The best thing about the modelling assignment was that the people were friendly and the night flew by. Looking forward to the next model assignment!
PROUD TO BE REPRESENTED BY MODELS DIRECT I had a great time in Tunbridge Wells on Wednesday modelling clothes at the White Company. The atmosphere was very welcoming, the catwalk fun and the people I worked with were extremely warm and genuine. My job as a model was really easy. Katie at Models Direct made sure I had all information I needed to get there without any worries or effort to find my way around. Once at location half an hour prior to the agreed time, I followed the instructions the White Company representative, Sally-Ann gave me and the whole event ran smoothly. The best thing was definitely the people I got to meet and the lovely clothes I got to wear. I had to wear them, imagine they were mine and that just made the trick. Quite a few ladies came up to me to ask about the coats or dresses I wore and ended up buying them straight away. I was asked if I model for the White Company exclusively. I ended up speaking about Models Direct and their professionalism and realized I felt proud of being one of your models. Thank you for putting me forward but most importantly, for getting a wonderful job for me which I know I will be talking a lot about.
FASHION MODELLING The assignment was in-store modelling for The White Company London; this involved modelling the new autumn collection for a special VIP party of around 70 people. It was a great experience and fun. I was the only model selected for the assignment-so a big thank you to Models Direct for promoting me and their guidance along the way with travel directions etc. The best thing was the opportunity to wear a new collection of clothes!
MODELLING FOR 50 GUESTS The modelling assignment with Models Direct was an enjoyable and fun experience. It was my first assignment and I was made to feel at ease and relaxed the whole time. The best thing about the assignment was being able to model and try on a whole range of new clothes. I had to showcase a variety of clothes for the new winter collection for The White Company in front of 50 guests in store.
MODELLING THE NEW SEASON RANGE It was my first assignment with Models Direct, but I was informed of all the necessary information on what to expect from the job. We were asked to model the White Company’s new season clothing for an exclusive open night. It was a really good evening and I was made to feel comfortable and made very welcome in the company. The other Models Direct model that was also hired was lovely, and Katie, the Assignments Manager, was very helpful and professional. The best thing about the job was meeting a range of people and enjoying 'the buzz' of the event.
MODELLING FOR THE WHITE COMPANY My assignment was to model for The White Company shop in Edinburgh. During the event I wore 5 outfits from their new autumn collection and did a semi catwalk while the presenter explained what each piece of clothing was. A make-up artist did my make-up beautifully and I had great fun trying on lots of different outfits. I would love to have this kind of experience again! Thank you Models Direct!
MODELLING AT THE TATE I had a great day on the photo shoot at Tate Gallery. The clients were so professional and friendly. The best thing about the assignment was being in the Tate Britain surrounded by the work of some of the greatest artists ever. Didn't get the modern ones, but it was still wonderful. Thanks Models Direct and Models Direct!
HAIR MODEL I really enjoyed the shoot with Models Direct. The shoot was a hair shoot and I really like the style they gave me. The photographer was really good, giving lots of guidance to get a really good shot.
A CUT ABOVE THE REST I really enjoyed the modelling assignment. Another model and I were chosen to do a photoshoot for a London hair salon, so they cut my hair and it looks really great now! They also took photos of us in four different dresses. It was great fun! Everyone was very friendly and helpful. It felt fantastic to be a model for the day! Would be great to do some work with these people again and I can't wait for the next job! Thank you, Models Direct!
AT EASE I would like to say how pleased I was overall with the modelling assignment for Models Direct. The client I worked with was extremely welcoming, productive and put me at ease throughout. I would be more than happy to be part of modelling assignments again.
NATURAL MODEL It felt really good to be a Gelert model for a day for Models Direct. :) The Gelert staff were really friendly and it felt like being in a team from the beginning. The best thing about the modelling assignment was that all the settings were natural, and all they asked was that I was as natural as possible, which made me feel comfortable in what I was doing. The clothes we had to wear were really nice, warm and comfy.
RE-BOOK The modelling assignment with Models Direct was a really friendly, nice job, and everyone was very welcoming. We had to model a variety of outfits on a catwalk in a store to members of the public. There were no complications and the instructions were clear. It was a very fun job with lovely people. I enjoyed it very much, and would hope to be asked again. The client did say that they would re-book Vanessa and me again for the Christmas show, which I would love to do.
CATWALK MODELLING I had a wonderful time modelling for Models Direct at a fashion show for Elys Department store in Wimbledon. Everyone involved was so lovely. It was great being a catwalk model for the day having my hair and makeup done professionally and wearing such wonderful clothes. I can't wait to do it all again! Thanks ever so much Models Direct!
FEELING AT EASE I really enjoyed working for Models Direct and with make up artist and photographer; they were lovely people and made me feel at ease! I hope I achieved the photos they wanted and needed and I am looking forward to seeing the final result!
ALL ANGLES I enjoyed the modelling assignment with Models Direct; it was done quickly and efficiently, and the instructions were clear. I had to look at a mirror while cameras shot all angles on my face.
SOMETHING DIFFERENT The assignment with Models Direct was interesting. I enjoyed it as it was something different. I was asked to sit in a chair and face various cameras or sit at various angles. My face was scanned and pictures were taken. I also stood on a rotating stand and a full body scan was taken. The client was organised and the session took 30 minutes as indicated.
BODY POSES I was really happy doing what I enjoy doing - modelling. On the Models direct assignment, I was given instructions as to my body poses - sitting down and standing up. It was a good experience on the whole.
GREAT LEARNING EXPERIENCE The client appreciated my looks and made me feel positive about the modelling experience for Models Direct. I was asked to partake in 3D scanning to be used in a gaming product. The assignment was interesting as it did not involve traditional photography: it was a great learning experience!
MEETING FAMOUS FACES! I had such a great time as a model for Models Direct at Twickenham; everyone was lovely and I even got to meet a few famous faces. I would really love to do something like this again as I enjoyed it so much and modelling is what I have wanted to do for such a long time. Thank you very much for the opportunity Models Direct, hopefully with many more to come!
EXPRESSIONS Had a really great day being a model for Models Direct! The photographer was lovely and really made me feel comfortable. I was asked to do a series of expressions in a variety of outfits. The photographer was very good as he let me choose whether to stand or sit, which ever was most comfortable. I really want to do more now as I enjoyed it so much!
SHORT & FUN The modelling assignment for Models Direct was short and fun. It lasted about 20 minutes in which they scanned my face and my head.
IN THE MARQUEE I was asked to model again for the National Sporting Club. On this modelling assignment for Models Direct I was in the large marquee. If asked I would definitely do it again!
MAKING FRIENDS The modelling assignment was good. The best bit was meeting the other models, because they were all so friendly and I made a couple of good friends.
2ND MODELLING JOB It was my second time working as a model at Twickenham Rugby stadium and once again I enjoyed every bit of it. I made new friends and got along well with both the clients and the other models. I would definitely do it again!
FLATTERED TO BE CHOSEN It felt different being a model for the day. I spent time talking to the photographer about his work and why I was chosen and I was flattered to find that he had chosen me based on my look specifically. I built up a nice rapport with the photographer and his directions were simple and easy to follow. The best thing about the assignment was seeing the pictures being transformed into the cartoons that would become the final product. I was asked to sit in a chair and sit very still and frequently asked to move the angle of my face. It was not a long project, but very enjoyable!
BONUS! Being a model for the day was very enjoyable. The best thing about the assignment was meeting new people, and getting to know what they do. The people were very kind and made me laugh which is always a bonus!
VIRTUAL CHARACTER This was my first modelling assignment and I really enjoyed it. The photographer was very good. He told me what he wanted and helped me step by step, with no pressure at all. I was asked to sit down and face the camera and let the photographer take photos at different angels. The photos will be transformed into a 3D version to make up a virtual character. It was very good!
