What a couple of days filming for Campo Viejo we were filming a few scenes over the few days, one at a dinner party with friends. There was loads of amazing food and wine which was all prepared on set by the amazing prop designers. It smelt so good and few times while we were filming a freeze moment, I felt a little dribble sneak out of my mouth lol let’s hope the camera didn’t see. The other scene was a group of friends around the sofa after dinner. We were all playing heads up and catching freeze moments amongst the fun. There was plenty and laughs and moments captured that will produce into a great advert for Campo Viejo. Thanks to Molly for arranging the assignment and thanks to the whole cast for there patients consistency and friendly feedback to allow us all to have such a great experience. Bring on my next assignment which is already in the diary for next week

Finish Dishwasher TV Commercial Last week I completed an assignment which Charlie helped me secure. It was for a commercial for Finish, advertising the new product line of dishwasher cleaners in the UK and Germany. I was playing an engineer who was inspecting the inside of a dishwasher and watching the cleaner at work as it produced a shinny clean wine glass. I can’t wait to see the final edit to add some amazing shots to me showreel and see myself on TV It was a pleasure to work with the whole production team from the runners, catering staff, producers, creative directors, wardrobe etc. So many people made the experience from start to finish a great one. Looking forward to more and more work with Models Direct.. "

If there is anything better that being told you have been selected for a job it receiving the news that a company you have worked for in the past want you back again. This proved to be the case when I was called on by Invacare based in South Wales, so it was with happy heart I set off for the Principality. On the first occasion the shoot took place in their own premises but this time it was in the Pinegate Photo Studios, not easy to find if your sat-nav doesn’t accept the post code but well worth the effort. The welcome I received was that usually accorded to the prodigal son so I can only offer the crew my thanks for their kindness and friendliness making a long trip worth while and of course to Molly at Models Direct who works so hard on my behalf.

Another great assignment from Models Direct ! I arrived promptly for this photo shoot, having checked in advance the detailed arrangements and dress requirements with the client. As a result I was more than well prepared. The shoot was at a Care Home with 48 private apartments and would involve indoor and outdoor shots. Photo shoots with clients, staff and other models would be required. A parking space had been reserved for me which made things much easier in terms of carrying my luggage and props into the venue. - ( a nice touch ) The shoot was fairly advanced when I arrived and the models who were booked for earlier shoots were busy working . After introductions with the photographer and creative director I was briefed and very quickly the shoot was underway. The clients understanding of the assignment was clear and thus enabled a very efficient shoot. Great client, great colleagues, very efficient photographer and wonderful organisation by Charlie from Models Direct and the most hospitable client you could wish for. I would highly recommend Models Direct.

Photo Shoot - When I first received this assignment from Charlie at Models Direct I rubbed my hands together, only twenty miles to drive and on my birthday, what more could I ask for. The shoot was for First City Nursing Services start time 11am and as I said only a short distance to drive Charlie has been very helpful and patient with me especially my complete lack of understanding of modern technology, thank you Charlie for such a great present on my birthday!

Photoshoot Poundland Today I had my first experience with Models Direct, which involved public interaction advertising new fragrances. The organisation and communication meant that the day ran smoothly, meaning I felt at ease with the demands of the job in hand. I would definitely recommend the company to others with an interest for this type of work and it would be a pleasure to experience work with the company again in the future.

"As ever the day went very well and was quite seamless despite the very early start! The crew were very well organised and very welcoming, it was once again a great insight into just how much effort and planning goes into such a short presentation. My short acting role was great fun, I'd like to say it was a high octane stunt scene but in reality I just had to pull up in my car, get out, shake hands with the Kwik Fit engineer and ask for a new tyre! :) This all said, it didn't matter, it was a great experience and I enjoyed it. Let's just hope I did ok!"

It feels great to be back working for Models Direct. I modelled for Axis Security for the day. The location was in central London (Piccadilly Circus) the shoot involved six of us playing various roles with photos being taken in different parts of the clients buildings. Photos were taken of myself and two other models posing as security officers in a friendly manner, talking to customers and checking their I.D’s. We also had some photos taken of us patrolling the outside area of the buildings acting as though we were on our radio’s. I had a great time with the other models and crew members were also very friendly and easy to get along with, which helps towards being relaxed for the shoot.

Hi I just completed a job with Ingenious at Heathrow airport, this was my first assignment and was really enjoyable! I was understandably nervous at first but the Ingenious staff were great putting me at ease and making it a great experience. Thanks so much to Molly at Models Direct for getting me the job and for all the organisation and booking information. This made getting to the job and being prepared for it really easy and allowed me to fulfil my job to the satisfaction of the client. Many thanks!

"I had a fantastic time today at Heathrow Airport. I enjoyed the whole experience. The shoot itself was extremely fun and I enjoyed working with Aira, the other model. The clients themselves were fantastic - very friendly and warm. This was my first modelling experience and the relaxed nature of the client and the photographer put me at ease straight away. I got more and more into it as the shoot went on and am looking forward to seeing the end product. After this experience I very much hope that I will get the chance to do some more work. Thank you for this opportunity."

Heathrow Airport "Hi, I have just had a fabulous experience on my first assignment with Models Direct, courtesy of Molly at Models Direct and working with Ingenious on behalf of Heathrow Airport. Natalie met me on arrival, such a lovely lady, offering refreshments and kept me posted on the time frame and set up status of equipment etc. We started promptly at noon, Steve and Magnus, the team responsible for the shots, were great, made me feel relaxed and confident. We had an initial chat then onto some shots before an informal interview whilst being pictured. The whole experience was simple from start to finish, everywhere was of course accessible, parking was easy, directions and contact info all provided, just very very easy. I thoroughly enjoyed my experience, and hope to promote diversity and inclusion as a wheelchair user in more campaigns such as this in the future. Many thanks to everyone involved in the selection process, it’s been a privilege. Thank you very much Alex Smart"

CASTROL shoot - "I had lots of fun on this assignment. It was amazing to film with a green screen and deliver dialog direct to camera. It was fun and a challenge at the same time, Models Direct kept me fully informed around the location and the clients requirement making the whole experience so much more enjoyable. The client was very friendly and was keen to make sure we were all. Thank you for this experience!"
