Models Direct Reviews - From our Male Models

PROMO MODELLING

The modelling assignment for Models Direct, which involved promoting Aaduki insurance at a posh venue in Watford, felt good. My job involved giving out info in a pair of logo covered boxers.

PORTRAIT MODELLING

I believe that the modelling job with Talent Management was a good experience for me. I really appreciated Katie's input as Manager of Talent Management's Assignmnet Team, as she was supportive and helpful. She organised every thing beforehand. The job was to be a portrait model for adult education course. I was asked to sit on a chair while the class drew me and took pictures. Although I was a bit nervous, I found it easier than I thought I would. All the people on the job were nice and friendly with me, and allowed me to take break between each class. I found it quite interesting when I looked the drawings, as they were very close to my look. I really appreciate Talent Management for this opportunity, and would like to continue to working with them in the future.

A NATURAL!

I really enjoyed another day doing promotional modelling from Models Direct for Aaduki Camera Insurance. The modelling assignment was local for me this time and it didn’t even feel awkward, even though I was wearing minimal clothing.

BEING RECOGNISED!

I really enjoyed the modelling assignment at the Ricoh arena. I was asked to help promote Aaduki, an insurance company. I was dressed in the Aaduki branded shorts and spoke to visitors handing out promotional literature. The best thing about the assignment was the opportunity to engage with a section of the public that I have not worked with previously and the chance to meet some really interesting people. I particularly enjoyed working with my on site contact who I found to be very helpful and fun to work with. It was also nice to be recognised on numerous occasions from my appearance on celebrity Come Dine With Me. I look forward to the next assignment from Models Direct.

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 Talent Management 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 Talent Management 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.
