We had a great experience working as family models at The Paddington Bear Experience in central London. Staff and Photographers are very helpful, nice and professional. We walked through the whole experience, both my children are inspired and excited, especially while we walked through Paddington's kitchen, and Peru garden! We all tried the extraordinarily marmalade sandwiches and amazing cakes in the end. Gemma called us beforehand, and set out the whole brief in emails, she dealt with things in such professional and detailed ways. Gemma also called us right after to make sure we were good and congratulated us for completing the job! In general, a five star fun experience with Models Direct. Thank you.

Fun Shoot Day at Leeds University.Had a really fun day of shooting at Leeds University despite it lasting only a few hours for me. I really enjoyed the relaxed environment that the photographers and the supervisor had set up. It was even more enjoyable with the other models on set from different backgrounds whom I got to meet and work with.Date of experience: 21 August 2024

It was honestly a great experience! As my first original paid shoot, I would say it was a success in every way. Not only did I get to meet other models, but I also had the opportunity to see what is truly like to be a model. Thank you for having me, it was an amazing adventure :)

Models Direct have continued to impress me and find me consistent work, from shoot to shoot the experiences have been better and better. I am gaining a lot of valuable experiences and proud to represent Models Direct. It was great to be out of my comfort zone for a few of the takes and gain a new sense of confidence to bring into my career. The clients were fantastic and knew what vision they needed from me and the other models, the whole day was very smooth and a pleasure to be a part of the shoot today.

We did mini Segway's, bungee trampoline’s, swimming pool shoot, beach shoot, inflatable assault course, crazy golf, crafts, evening dining and we got involved in the entertainment activities also. We had an amazing time and everything exceeded our expectations. We were very looked after throughout the whole process which has left us all feeling very happy.

Today at the Deansgate pub in Manchester was a great first shoot for me, I got to meet loads of great people with a good team who were operating the shoot. We first went round a table and posed for a goal in a football game, next we got some drinks and table food and snacks to make it a natural setting and took more shots. Altogether shoot went well and looking forward to next one.

Another Great ExperienceI am grateful to have been found another job a month after my first with Models Direct, again the communication was top tier and all forms were given to me in a timely manner. I was always reassured that if I had any questions that they were there to answer these. On the day of the shoot everything was professional and a real attention to detail was shown. As it was a big group shoot it was nice to chat and network with other talent models and share stories of our experiences, the day was relaxed and I as given amazing direction in what was needed and all in all it was another successful fun shoot!Date of experience: 18 July 2024

I attended my first assignment, a two day promotional photoshoot with a UK holiday resort. The communication, support and assistance from Charlie from Models Direct was amazing. Any concerns I might have had were nipped in the bud straight away; and to top it off it was an amazing experience!!! Thank you so much Models Direct!

Just finished my first couples shoot - really good fun. Started the day outside in the glorious sunshine, and ended up playing mini golf, rowing a boat, having fun in a swimming pool, rounding off the two day shoot with bar and restaurant photographs. The photographer and the client made us feel very at ease with nothing forced. Overall a very enjoyable couple of days enhanced by the lovely other couple we were paired with.

Another enjoyable shoot expertly arranged by Models Direct!This was for a different client from my previous assignments so I wasn't sure what to expect but the brief sent vis e-mail beforehand was clear and concise.The day itself was great! Helpful supportive crew and as previously, the other models on set were all chatty and friendly and we all enjoyed the experience.Everything regarding the booking, from initial enquiry, pre and post shoot, all wonderfully handled as usual by Gemma and Charlie from Models Direct.More please! :-)

It was a great opportunity and Gemma helped me through the process and followed up afterwards.It was hot work on the hottest day of the year working outside but the production team provided plenty of water and allowed me to sit in the shade.The photographer and his assistants were highly professional and extra patient with this novice.Tim from Efoldi walked me through everything so I didn't need to panic, be nervous or get frustrated.A great experience which I'm looking forward to repeating soon!Date of experience: 25 June 2024
