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.

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.

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.

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!

I was warmly welcomed on arrival to the assignment & was made to feel comfortable. The day was explained to me in detail. The best thing was working with the kids as they were great to work with. The client Hampshire County Council asked me to have pictures taken of me reading books, listening to music, choosing a CD, working on the computer, playing with the kids in the play area, and reading with the kids. All contacts on the day were polite and friendly. I would be happy to be assigned here again. Models Direct have been excellent at providing suitable roles in photographic and video assignments. My agent is very friendly and great with communication. I was paid the day after the shoot, which is unheard of with other agencies. They are highly recommended.

It was really good fun working with a team of people on the same project. Was nice to see that the chosen picture was suitable for their needs. The professionalism of the photographer was encouraging in helping me perform to their expectations. I was asked to pose behind a sandwich for a series of shots for an advertisement, the project was well explained and I knew what was wanted.

I started of by doing some filming for GMTV. We were all waiting around a TV to watch it on the news, it showed at 8am and again at 8:30am. The client was really friendly and the designer of the gown (Ben de Lisi) showed an interest. I felt like I could be doing this everyday as a full time thing. The best thing was that I was apart of a really important campaign with the NHS. I was proud to be apart of it.

The client made me feel welcome, I had a cup of tea because I was early(amazing) I was then taken in to the shoot. I had to put on these hospital gowns which were a tight fit. The photographer then gave me direction with the designer on what they wanted they were very pleased with shoot which then made me feel great. The shoot was in a fantastic location I have never been to that part of London before. I loved being a model bring on more!

It was something a bit different which is always interesting. The photographer asked me to sit in front of time lapse cameras and pull various facial expressions in order for them to record the range of expressions a face can pull. Then a scanner was used which takes a number of shots per second, with the result being a complete 3D scan of my head. Very relaxed atmosphere and I look forward to seeing the final results once the animation is added.

Its always good to feel like a model, my assignment involved promotional work in a store. I was asked to walk around the the whole department store with the company magazine to show to customers what products they offer and where the company is located in the store. Some customers were interested and some were not. The staff from the company were very helpful and were a pleasure to work for.
