FACE SCAN It was exciting to be a model for the day for Models Direct; I couldn’t wait to get there! The best thing about the modelling assignment was getting to see all the equipment. I was asked to sit in a chair and wear a hat so my hair didn't stick out, they then took a scan of my face.
EASY GOING The modelling assignment for Models Direct was all in all a very enjoyable experience! It was very easy going and short, as I was informed. I was asked to sit in various positions as the photos were taken. The gentleman taking the photos was very friendly and easy-going; he explained what the photos were for and how the computer graphics work.
KEEPING FIT Due to an upcoming Models Direct event, I’ve been training and dieting well recently, so felt comfortable modelling at the Brighton Photo Festival for Models Direct. The best part of the day was when my 2 year old girl ran up to me with a big surprised face screaming 'Daddy' and then having a BIG hug.
VALUABLE EXPERIENCE It was a good feeling to be a model for the day and a privilege to represent Models Direct, especially as my physical appearance was acknowledged and found to be suitable for this particular assignment. During the shoot, the client asked that I sit in different positions in order to capture various angles of my face. I was also asked to wear tights over my hair, as several face shots minus the hair were required. This was my first experience of modelling, and the assignment on the whole was very enjoyable. Hopefully I’ve gained some valuable experience, which will help me to gain further opportunities within the industry.
AMAZING EXPERIENCE It was an amazing experience to be a model for the day on behalf of Models Direct. The photographer was very friendly and interesting to talk to. I felt great and confident. The assignment itself was very straight forward, I only needed to sit and face different directions and have my photos taken. The photographer was really professional and I liked the overall experience. I am happy the job was assigned to me.
PRETTY COOL! The shoot with Models Direct was very interesting. I was asked to sit in a chair with a blank facial expression as 6 different cameras took photos from different sides of my face. After this I was asked to stand on a rotating board as a full body computer animated image was made of my figure. Seeing myself as an avatar was pretty cool!
A DIFFERENT TYPE OF SHOOT The modelling assignment was very good. A 3D model was created from pictures that were taken of me, so this was very different to your normal modelling shoot.
IN PRINT It felt great to be a model for the day. It was a really enjoyable promotional day. The best thing about the modelling assignment was seeing my picture on all the promotional magazines and advertising from the previous photo shoot.
GLIMPSE OF THE COUNTRYSIDE The modelling assignment was quite easy; there was no pressure at all. I had to sit and look at the camera. At first I was a bit nervous because it was my first assignment, but after I met the photographer everything settled down. The photographer was a nice guy and his approach was very calm. The best thing about the assignment was that I got the chance to travel to a new place. It was quite an adventure and I got the chance to have a glimpse of the countryside.
"A GREAT LAUGH" I felt the shoot went really well. I was pleased they were able to get the shots that they needed for the outfits. The group of people doing the shoot were fantastic, a great laugh and very friendly. I had to wear different fancy dress outfits. It was very enjoyable and I hope to work with them again.
MATURE MODELLING Firstly, the modelling assignment was very enjoyable, Mike MacNicholas and his colleagues made me very welcome and we were well looked after. Secondly, the venue was a beautiful country house and the owner was always on hand with cups of tea etc. The stills photographer and the video lady were very clear with their directions and patient if I didn’t exactly come up with the goods first time round. The assignment was to highlight the various benefits of beds and chairs, in nightwear and daywear highlighting the flexibility of the various products on view.
NO SNOW! The people at Columbia Sports were very friendly and welcoming. The focus for the day was to pitch the new sports plus ski range for the next season to Blacks. This involved wearing the outfits to display the 'look' of each product.
SNAP HAPPY I had an enjoyable day doing the photoshoot. Everyone was really friendly and i felt totally comfortable.
BLESS YOU! I was pleased with how the assignment went today. I would love to do it again. I enjoyed getting into character for the specific task presented to me. I portrayed a person suffering with cold/flu. I had a prop for this and dressed suitably for the role so that the shoot was more realistic.
CLOSE TO HOME It felt great to be a model on this NHS assignment. The shoot gave me an opportunity to use my acting skills. The best part of the assignment for me quite apart from the pleasant friendly people I was working with, was the closeness to my home. I only had to go ten miles!
A 'COOL' SHOOT The photoshoot arranged by Models Direct went really well. I was asked to model a fridge that will be used in supermarkets. Everyone was friendly and the client got what they required. I really enjoyed myself.
BARE FEET The assignment for Hill and Knowlton was a really nice experience and awesome. The best thing about the assignment is that the client was very friendly and polite. We were asked to remove our shoes and socks and sit on the grass with bare feet and have some photos taken in different postures. It was very interesting and am looking forward to the next opportunity.
LOOKING THE BUSINESS The experience was great and a very laid back and enjoyable shoot for The Cobra Group. We were shooting for professional marketing i.e. website, brochure business images.
HAVING A LAUGH I felt good being a model for the day, as it was my first shoot - the shoot was for The Cobra Group. The other models were all very nice and so were the photographers. The best thing about the assignment was having a laugh with the models so we could get the required look for the picture. We were asked to act as sales reps, and look like part of the business.
FEELING SPECIAL To be a model for The Cobra Group was great, feeling like you are that someone which is a little bit special compared to everyone else makes you appreciate what your doing even more. For this assignment the best bit was the chance to work outdoors, normally only being in a studio where there is artificial lights. Our main roles where to pretend that we were doing door to door sales, with group meetings involved in the day to see how each was getting on.
SMILING ON THE JOB I had a really great day at the assignment for The Cobra Group. Everyone was really relaxed and friendly, so I didn't feel nervous at all, even when it was my first shoot. I liked how the photos were of us all together, this put less pressure on us i think. We were asked to just chat and pretend we were in a business meeting, while smiling and laughing the photographer then just took photo's.
WEBSITE MODEL The assignment for The Cobra Group's new website went well. The photographer was great to work with. We modelled poses like their workers i.e in work, at meetings and having fun. Overall the Models Direct assignment was a good day - I enjoyed it.
OUT ON LOCATION I had a great time at the assignment from Models Direct. The client 'The Cobra Group' was friendly and easy going. The other models were cool too. We went out on location and took a bunch of photos whilst doing role playing. The client allowed us be creative and they were very flexible with our ideas. I can't wait to see the photos.
LOOKING GOOD IN SHORTS Being a model for the day felt great. I was asked to hand out promotional bags whilst wearing a pair of the company's branded shorts. I felt a bit conscious at first but soon got into it, would be fine doing it again and to have photos taken with people and for the company Aaduki Multimedia.
FLEX YOUR MUSCLES Being a model for the day felt really good. The best thing about the assignment was being in the spot light with people. I was asked to play the role of a computer game character called Rick, a muscular man, for the client Namco Bandai.
ON STAGE I was very well looked after and treated with great courtesy. My accommodation was excellent. I was part of a presentation at a sales convention in which I performed a monologue and role play live, in front of an audience of 800 foreign delegates.
WORKING THE CATWALK I really enjoyed the assignment, it was a great experience. The best thing about the assignment was the experience invoked by the catwalk and the people were great . Alan and Helen the clients (The Ultimate Pet Show)were nice and Charlene and Lana were great (other models). I was asked to model clothes such as bags, hooded tops, and beech wear on a catwalk.
SCENE OF THE CRIME This was my first assignment. We were whisked off to a private dining room to film the first few scenes. I knew I had a walk on part but had no idea we would be ad-libbing as well as eating on camera. Once this was complete we were driven to another location to film at the murder scene for Crime Watch. The other 'actors' were far more experienced than me but were easy to work with. The experience was invaluable and I hope to do more soon.
READY FOR YOUR CLOSE-UP? When I arrived at the house the photoshoot took place at, I felt very welcome straight away and completely comfortable with the people there and the surroundings. The clients Hillary Fletcher were very professional, also completely down to earth and all seemed very lovely people. The best thing about the assignment for me was the fact that I was doing something I really loved and enjoyed doing! I was asked to sit on a stool pointing slightly toward the left hand side, a shot of the right hand side of my face was required whilst holding a phone. For each individual shot i repeated the line "It's the black one" several times before changing to the the line "it's the green one" in order for the photographer to capture the right expression on my face so that the image could be conveyed correctly. The picture was supposed to show me trying to explain something to someone. The second and last shot required was a medium close up of the left hand side of my face. This photo was supposed to show me happy and smiling, as if a problem had reached its solution. The photographer seemed throughly organised and experienced, he knew exactly what he was doing and so together we managed to get the job done very efficiently. I truely had a lovely time, so thankyou so much for providing me with the great opportunity!
CALENDER BOYS Being a model felt great and the assignment was really exciting.The place where the photo shoot was held was really nice and everyone made me feel welcome. I was asked to pose sitting on the bed holding the calender. All in all it was a really good experience and would be happy to work with the client Hillary Fletcher again.
