Fashion Modelling

Firstly, everyone involved in the shoot was absolutely lovely and welcoming.
The company did really well to provide us with everything that we needed, they looked out for us and this made the shoot much more relaxed. Also, they did really well to explain the purpose of the shoot and what was expected of us which really helped with getting into the right mindset.
I worked both indoors and outdoors portraying a homeless teenager in need of aid and then getting provided with the necessary aid. Working on the streets of Lewisham also helped in order to see the situations homeless people find themselves in. Being in the actual environment was really useful as it allowed me to see exactly what homeless people go through and this only helped me portray a homeless teenager better.The shoot was really fun and this is down to not only my love of being in front of camera but also the team we worked with were not just kind but also fun to work with.
The shoot was similar to how I expected by reading the brief but was different to how I expected in terms of how easy it was to work with the team. Also on a personal note this first experience really helped me to realise that being in front of camera is when I am in my element.

This was my first time doing a shoot.Alice the organiser for the shoot was fantastic and made me feel at ease straight away.Paul the photographer certainly knew his stuff and we had some good laughs.My co models were all lovely.The only sort of down side was the weather, it rained and rained and the wind was more like November or December instead of May.But, saying that I still enjoyed the day and it was a great experience.

Excellent day , production team were fabulous, and good to meet other colleagues and share our experiences

Great experience working with the production team on a campaign launch in Manchester. Everyone was so lovely and accommodating and the process was easy from start to finish.
It was a delight meeting the other models and getting to know them on the day too. We had a lovely time filming and chatting in between sets.
Models Direct managed the day flawlessly.
Big shout out to Gemma for staying in contact and being on hand should we need anything.
Thanks to Leon and the team for a fun day! And to Vicki for the fab makeup!

Having been with Models Direct for 13 month's now, it was great to finally get my first job/work.
I dealt with Gemma, my Models booking agent, she was fabulous, friendly, caring, respectful, polite.
Great to deal with, very prompt and quick on email replies and calls and messaging. Put my mind at ease. I had full peace of mind going into this job.
On the day, met some great people, and had a great experience.
Was great to be back in front of the camera. I do hope this great day, will lead to many more.
Thank you Models Direct for making it happen. Yesterday was something I won't forget.

I had an all day shoot yesterday with a national pub chain via Models Direct and I had an amazing experience.
I took part in several photo and video materials being produced throughout the day amongst 14 other models.
It was fun and engaging. Everything was of course very smoothly organised by Models Direct, which means I could just concentrate on enjoying the shoot.
The team were such a pleasure to work with, they carefully directed all of the scenes and models.
We all had a meal at lunch break and it was overall a great elpetricence.

I did a photo shoot with Sunrise Medical in Birmingham. It was such good fun, the company made me feel so welcome and I learnt quite a bit from both sides of the camera. I look forward to other opportunities that may come my way.

For my first job with ModelsDirect, I couldn't have had a better experience. From before the shoot, everything was well organised and ModelsDirect were so helpful. The location was great at the studio in East London, and as soon as I got there the whole team were so accommodating and friendly, I felt really comfortable from the get go. Despite the hot weather, the whole team did the best they could to look after us during the shoot, making sure we constantly had water, and even buying us ice lollies at one point! The whole day was great fun, meeting other models from ModelsDirect and the guys from Sky Sports, and all the hair, make up and production team. So excited to get working on more shoots for ModelsDirect and seeing what the future holds!

Fantastic!From start to finish the team made us feel very comfort and relaxed. It made the whole experience fun and we can’t wait to do it again!
Gemma from MD was great, keeping us informed of all details as and when she could and was very helpful on the phone with my numerous questions.
Overall it was a great experience!

I took Logan who is 18 months old to Weybourne Beach to model clothes for the Next winter catalogue. He had a great time playing with the other children and being on the beach. He had to get changed into the clothes that were provided and then we went down closer to the water with a boat and some cliffs in the background and Logan had his photo taken. The photographer and crew were very friendly and Logan loved them! He had his hair trimmed by the hairdresser which was done perfectly and made him look really grown up. I think the most enjoyable part of the assignment for Logan was being on the beach playing with the pebbles and being around the other children. This was Logan's second assignment though Models Direct so he is gaining experience in front of the camera. I would definitely advise people to join this agency as everyone is so friendly and helpful and it is a great experience going out there and getting dressed up to have your photo taken for a big brand. I originally decided to join Logan up with Models Direct as he has a very distinctive look as he has a big afro so I thought it would be nice to try and show all his hair off and get him into something like this. Before this assignment I hadn't updated Logan's e-portfolio for a while, but I will definitely start updating it more regularly again now! Thank you, Elishia

Santander photoshoot - Excellent communication from Models Direct for my assignment in Greenwich in June 2018. Lots of notice of what to do and where to be so I felt very confident on the day. Really nice client who we spent the day with completing lots of shots for an internal promotion scheme...easy to follow direction, clear ideas regarding images and location, patient approach to the end. Really impressed all round with the client and the agency - looking forward to more to come in the future.

What a fantastic photoshoot with so many amazing products shortly due to hit the market. The children had a blast!
Models Direct kept us up-to-date with important details leading up to the shoot, ensured all questions were answered, and shared a clear itinerary so we all knew what to expect in advance.
On set, the photographers and client put the children and ease, quickly built a rapport and balanced support with giving them the freedom they needed to really show the products off. The children’s input was valued throughout the day and it was a great opportunity for the client to ‘road-test’ the products too.
Models Direct followed up with us the next morning and shared some brilliant feedback. Their communication and support throughout has been exemplary.
Overall, there was lots of fun and laughter, and some fabulous photos as a result. The whole experience has given the children a real confidence boost and they can’t wait to get involved in more!"

This was my first photoshoot at Crystal Palace stadium. I was nervous at first going in but the camera crew and the atmosphere allowed me to ease in within the first 10 minutes and it ended up being a really good shoot in the end. I was surrounded by really good people and also the other model I was partnered up with.
