I thoroughly enjoyed this assignment, which was my first ever.
There was such a nice vibe! I loved working with my colleagues and the lovely photographer, who put us all at our ease. Daniel was very kind and helpful and I just felt marvellous. It was freezing cold and the outdoor shots were hard on those who hadn't brought gloves, but it was great fun. We also had a lovely lunch, which was a really nice bonus!
I'd love to do more of this kind of work in the future..

"Ellison is only 8 months old so couldn't say in his own words but I could tell he had a really good day, the actors and Director were really nice with him and got through all scenes needed.
This was a first for Ellison and myself and the whole day was enjoyable and seeing him being a good boy while filming made me smile.Ellison had to be a teething toddler in an internal training Video for Tesco that gave examples of how to and how not to deal with customer service in a pharmacy setting.
This assignment, has given me confidence that Ellison interacts extremely well with other Actors/Models and is still happy no matter what the situation.It was a fun day out and gave me a sense of pride and also a nice little bit of money for his savings account for when hes older.
We don't live in or around London so opportunities in acting/modeling there never even come up in this area. Joining an Agency like Models Direct gives us the opportunity to be put forward for exciting opportunities. Models Direct works on your behalf and do the job hunting for you. We have been registered with Models Direct for only a few weeks and he has already had his first job.We signed Ellison up as a bit of fun more than anything. Obviously as his parents we feel he has one of the cutest little faces we have seen :) and would love to flick through pictures or films with him in when he is older. Plus what ever money we get out of this can go into a savings account for when he is older.

The client was lovely and I really enjoyed the day. The Models Direct manager who prepared me for the shoot was very knowledgeable and helpful. Looking forward to the next one!

The whole experience was amazing - I met some really lovely people that I plan on keeping in contact with and it has really boosted my confidence as a model. The best part of the day was when we had all finished and the models got together and did a big silly photo, which worked really well and everyone seemed to be having so much fun! Thank you Models Direct for this opportunity.

Today’s photo shoot went really well! The energy on set was great, and everything came together smoothly—from the lighting setup to the direction and overall flow.
I felt confident and comfortable, which really helped bring out the best in the shots. There were definitely a few standout moments where the creative vision really clicked. I’m excited to see the final edits and feel like we captured something special. Looking forward to the next one already!
I was honestly a bit nervous at first—those pre-shoot jitters definitely kicked in. But as soon as we got started, the team made me feel so relaxed and at home. Their energy was warm and supportive, and it really helped me settle in quickly. Before I knew it, I was fully in the zone and enjoying every moment.

I had an amazing time modelling as a “Country Loving Traditionalist”—such a fun and unique experience! To top it off, I even had a pretend husband for the day, which was a laugh. The shoots took place in stunning locations across Lincolnshire, showcasing the beautiful countryside. Afterward, we visited some charming pubs and restaurants. The whole team was absolutely lovely, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Date of experience: February 26, 2025

The booking was all as advertised.
Very clear instructions and no surprises.
The client was considerate and easy-going. Overall it was a fun day. The only minor issue was that was no-where warm to sit when we were outside, it was a cold day (close to zero) and as usual a fair amount of standing when we could have done with somewhere warm to sit/hold when not being used.

My first experience with Models Direct was better than I expected. The team was very friendly and the process was super seamless.
It was great to meet the other models, they were fun, professional and great to shoot with.
My first shoot was posing as a student in school accommodation. I really enjoyed the different scenes that we shot, the photographer and director gave easy instructions and helpful feedback. Even though we were doing a couple different scenes everything was very quick and easy and the team got us out in a breeze, it felt very organized.
The management team behind the scenes was also helpful, very communicative and is always willing to help.
I feel like we got a lot of great photos and can’t wait to see them.
I’m looking forward to my next experience with Model Direct as my first was so exciting.
I’m eager to see what new opportunities in the future can help hold.
