First I would like to thank Gemma and Charlie for their constant care and support at Models Direct. My latest shoot in care home was an amazing day. Helping to support those amazing people in there both residents and the staff. My day working alongside other models from Models Direct was amazing some as carers some like me as a resident and another playing a chef. With the chef I went through what I would like to eat for the day from the menu...filming walking around the grounds....chatting to other residents or the carers. Having a dance with another resident to keep us fit.....it is a full day filming with three very professional camera men who kept us informed as how they wanted a scene done....please be committed and the smile at the end of the day must be the same at at the beginning. A wonderful day...ready to do another....

I have been extremely impressed with Models Direct as an Agency due to many factors. From the registration process with Heidi who actually had conversations with me and didn't make me feel like just a number to get on their books to pay the fee, but who I felt was completely genuine, watching their active and impressive social media postings (hoping one day I would be up there!), good luck wishes and well done posts and stories, to being active in looking for work for me from the beginning.
And then there's Gemma! Gemma has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She was so helpful in booking in my first job with Models Direct and was in regular contact, sending through booking information, promptly answered any queries that I had, helped me to feel at ease in the lead up, wished me luck on the day and then followed up after the shoot. Gemma really is a credit to the agency as she is professional, friendly, personable, positive, full of encouragement and very knowledgeable.
I am still smiling from ear to ear after the shoot yesterday as I couldn't have asked for a better first experience! My male model partner was a perfect match for me, and the photographers were so helpful, experienced, laid back, calming and such a pleasure to work with, we all enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and had such a laugh! The client was very accommodating also, looked after us very well and made us feel special.
I honestly can't thank Models Direct and Gemma enough and will always have the fondest memories of my first shoot!

I had a great time on setI had a great time on set, the crew were very welcoming and polite, as this was my first assignment, this put me at an ease that made the day very enjoyable. I had a great time also meeting other people who were having a similar experience to me.I had no expectations to even have an opportunity to be used as an extra but the opportunity that was provided by the crew was most welcome. If I were to give one criticism, it would be communicating were I should go or if I was finished with a shot or not.Great day on set and a wonderful first experienceDate of experience: 27 November 2024

I had my first booked assignment with Models direct and it was fun. I appreciate that communication from Charlie has been so efficient throughout the process. Everything was well-explained and well-organised. During the filming day, I was taking part in a Ted talk style presentation together with another models. While waiting for our time to come in for the scene, I had such lovely conversations with the other models. I enjoyed being in the set with the production team and doing something in a group. It was truly a teamwork. I look forward to working on more projects with Models Direct. Thank you so much.

=Had a great day on set, arrived early and the crew were there to greet and sign me in.
They were a happy friendly bunch, gave us direction when needed, with fun and a laid back approach. Getting the best out of people.
It was interesting and fun meeting fellow models, some newbies like me. Others with more experience giving hints and tips about the industry.

My experience at the shoot was one that I very much enjoyed.
This is my first shoot as a model. The ambience when I first walked in was relaxed. This is good especially for a novice who might be nervous.
The crew were friendly and gave us all the support that was needed throughout all the routines.
Then there was the shoot itself. Due to the relaxed atmosphere, I was comfortable in front of the camera. The guidance of the director was easy to follow and this made the emotions and energies the shots needed to portray, simple to depict.
Overall it was a positive experience and I enjoyed every minute.
Also some pictures from the session.
Many thanksGameli
