Interviews

I wasn't nervous before my shoot with the NHS. I had fun chatting to the 'doctor' on the shoot. I just had to lay in bed and answer questions about my reason for being in hospital, then I chatted with the 'doctor' on being discharged. I didn't necessarily learn new skills as I am used to working on stills shoots, but I would recommend this type of work as it is all great experience. In terms of joining an agency, I think you have to be patient and not expect too much too soon. I signed with Models Direct because they approached me.

"Elsie and Mummy had a fun two days on set in Wales. We spent the first day at the beach, and the weather was lovely for most of the day. We made friends quickly with the other families involved in the shoot. The day was enjoyable and went surprisingly quickly. We spent the second day in two different locations. Firstly, in the park, on the swings, scaling the climbing frames and running around with elsie’s new-found best friend Annabelle. The second location was set in the woodlands by a beautiful castle just outside neath. A stroll by the stream further into the countryside, a spot of fishing and splashing away in the water was a great way to finish off our second day. A thoroughly enjoyable first experience, a brilliant learning curve, and hopefully the start of many more to come for Elsie."

The Runnymede on Thames
This is my second times to be on set for Models direct. I had a nice day with 3 others models.
All the teams are also a pleasure to work with, friendly and professional.
The communication is great and they really explain everything you need to know about the shoot.
Everything was smooth on the day shoot. Can't wait to be chosen again for another great shoot.
Thank you so much for putting me through this shoot. I very much look forward to working with the team in the future.
I can't recommend them enough, thanks Charlie.

I had such great fun modeling. Trying on the wedding dresses was just superb! It was a dream assignment! I am not the 'standard' shape for modeling as I am curvy and never
imagined I could do something like this but in fact my shape was just
what the client was looking for and we all really enjoyed ourselves.
Coming from a life of being a mother and hardworking business-woman it
is so nice to be able to do something that i class as me-time, its a
great confidence boost too! Thank you for arranging for me to attend this assignment ! I had a
really great day, I really enjoyed it. I hope that the clients are
satisfied with the results and look forward to doing another assignment
in the future.

First Photoshoot
I had an excellent first photoshoot today. Charlie from models direct was excellent, and guided me through everything I needed to know before the photoshoot, so I was well prepared for it, and knew what to expect.I thoroughly enjoyed it, and felt very relaxed at the event. The whole experience was even better than I expected.I can’t wait for the next one :)

Amazing first time experienceThe whole experience was amazing and i really felt supported.
Meeting other people in the industry was great too because i felt inspired.
The production team was very friendly too.
The shoot was enjoyable and relaxed which worked out for my first project

PAINTED FACES
I had a really good day on this video shoot for FIFA and we all had lots of fun. We had to laugh, scream and shout and dress in different colours and wear different clothes which was fun. The funniest part was when we painted our faces. I joined Models Direct because I'd love to be a model. I have played handball for 12 years so I like the attention and to be in front of a camera.

Another great shoot today. This time, our daughter got to try out a new electronic gadget, and the customer made videos of her reactions. Everyone was very nice. Thank you for the opportunity!
