When it comes to modelling, fashion brings with it a whole world of on-trend apparel, splashed with funky key colours, prints and designs. Think of supermodels such as Gigi Hadid and Hailey Bieber, through to Hu Bing and David Gandy strutting it down the catwalk like a boss in statement pieces for top names in fashion like Marc Jacob, Chanel and Max Mara. But fashion modelling goes beyond a catwalk and filters into other industries too, such as advertising and marketing.
Our expert modelling agency , Models Direct, is direct with our approach. We know that fashion models are sought after where our clients are on the lookout for the next model to showcase their products. (We like to tell you how it is, that's our ethos – direct, bold and out-of-the-box).
Our team of modelling experts have in-depth wizardly knowledge that’s been acquired and nurtured through our years of experience in this industry (rolling back since 1990 in case you’re wondering!).
Models Direct want to get the word out that fashion modelling is another booming subsidiary in the modelling world that you can easily break in to. You'll be paid for glamming up and showcasing key apparel – no doubt, a perfect job that you’d love waking up and getting ready for. What’s not to love?
Regardless of age, size or ethnicity, any budding model can tap into this field making it another diverse opportunity to be a part of.

Very good experience!Today we took our daughter to a private home, where she got to play as the misbehaving teenager who spends too much time on her phone and on video games. Everyone was very nice, and it was a lot of fun. The photo shoot took just over an hour. Even mum and dad got to be in a few of the photos.Date of experience: 30 September 2024

Today was my very first ad shoot, and I have to say, it was an exciting, fun-filled, and eye-opening experience.
From the moment I arrived at the studio, there was a buzz of energy in the air. The team was welcoming, and everyone seemed to be in their zone, preparing for what would turn out to be an unforgettable day. As we got started with the first few shots, I was amazed at how many people were behind the scenes, coordinating everything to perfection. The lighting, camera angles, and even the smallest details were all being adjusted to ensure the best results.
It was fascinating to see all the effort that goes into creating a perfect shot. While I expected there to be a lot of waiting around and setting up, the team made it smooth and fun with music, laughter, and light conversation. By midday, I felt like I had settled into my role and was having a blast.
It was not just about posing; it was about feeling the moment and connecting with the camera. I definitely felt more comfortable as the day went on, and there were several moments where I genuinely enjoyed being in front of the camera.
I would also thank my agent, Charlie, for her constand and prompt response to every query I had and in making this process as smooth and memorable as possible for me. In short, my first ad shoot was a thrilling experience. It was everything I hoped for and more, and I can’t wait to do it again!

I thoroughly enjoyed my latest acting role, although I was slightly nervous beforehand as it was the biggest job I have had, however the team really made me feel at ease. I enjoyed shooting all the scenes. I filmed for an NHS information film and had to be filmed using the various facilities around the hospital. I gained some new insight into what it is like to be an actor i.e. how long scenes can take to film. I also gained confidence from the experience and feel it will help with my future bookings. I would recommend the experience to others as it was a useful and enjoyable experience. I would tell anyone looking to get into the talent industry to join an agency, which is a very useful move as well as maintaining a quality and up to date portfolio. I am always on Models Direct's websites and social media keeping an eye out for jobs as being proactive is important in order to obtain more work. I joined up with Models Direct to gain more experience and pursue my dream career as an actor and model, and they have really helped me to move forward in this field.

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

WHAT MORE COULD A GIRL WANT?!
We joined Myleigh up to Models Direct to help build her confidence and gain experience. This was Myleigh's first assignment and it was for Snazaroo, the world's largest face painting company. When we arrived Myleigh was made very welcome, which immediately put her at ease.Her first face paint was a monkey; Myleigh had such fun jumping around and getting into character. Myleigh said the best bit was ' having the girly glittery butterfly face' and pretending to be having a girl's birthday party - they had balloons, music, pretty dresses and wonderfully painted faces...... what more could a girl possibly want?!!Myleigh surprised me with her confidence and patience, they had so much fun and made so many new friends that the time went so fast and she didn't want to go home. She is looking forward to tomorrow when she returns to see what other characters she will be.I recommend signing your children up to Models Direct as they learn so much from the experience. I know for certain Myleigh will remember this for the rest of her life. Thank you Models Direct and thank you Snazaroo for giving Myleigh this fantastic opportunity.

I had the opportunity to be part of the Greene King modelling shoot, and overall it was a smooth and relaxed day, though quite slow-paced.
I arrived at 9 AM and spent the majority of the morning, until around midday, in the waiting room with the rest of the talent. The team was friendly and accommodating, and there was a chilled atmosphere, but there wasn’t much going on for most of that time. We then had an hour-long lunch break from 12 to 1 PM, which gave us a good chance to recharge and catch up with others on set.
After lunch, I was called onto set and spent about an hour and a half standing at the bar, acting as a background extra while the main shots were taken. It was straightforward and easy to follow direction, and the production crew were clear with what they needed. Once that wrapped, it was back to the waiting area again, where we stayed until we were dismissed.
Although there wasn’t a huge amount of activity throughout the day, the environment was positive, and everyone was easy to work with
