Modelling jobs and more...

I recently did a promotional shoot with models direct in Manchester.
It was so calm and fun, everyone from the team were so friendly and I met so many nice people.Everyone is so encouraging and will guide you in how to get the shot.Always appreciative of Gemma as she makes sure you feel comfortable before the shoot and also checks up afterwards aswell :)

I had the opportunity to be part of the Greene King modelling shoot, and overall it was a smooth and relaxed day, though quite slow-paced.
I arrived at 9 AM and spent the majority of the morning, until around midday, in the waiting room with the rest of the talent. The team was friendly and accommodating, and there was a chilled atmosphere, but there wasn’t much going on for most of that time. We then had an hour-long lunch break from 12 to 1 PM, which gave us a good chance to recharge and catch up with others on set.
After lunch, I was called onto set and spent about an hour and a half standing at the bar, acting as a background extra while the main shots were taken. It was straightforward and easy to follow direction, and the production crew were clear with what they needed. Once that wrapped, it was back to the waiting area again, where we stayed until we were dismissed.
Although there wasn’t a huge amount of activity throughout the day, the environment was positive, and everyone was easy to work with
Thanks for the opportunity

CLIMBING IN CONFIDENCE
The assignment Models Direct sent me on with the National Trust was really good fun but I was very nervous because I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. In this modelling shoot I had to overcome my fear of heights as we were asked to climb a tree for the photos! But the photographer was nice and helped a lot. The tree was easy to climb, there were five of us in the tree and we had lots of pictures taken in different poses. In the end I enjoyed climbing and got more confident as I climbed higher and higher. I think everyone should climb trees because this was what the National Trust says is good for us. I would say that being a model is a great way of doing new things and learning new stuff. If you want to be a model you should join an agency and try to keep your e-portfolio up to date. I did this for the experience and have enjoyed my work as a model.

Shoot and ServiceAll started of with kara lots of appreciation towards you! , Excellent service from her , who chose my son and always updating us with any information and having the correct photos up to date and always staying in contact and then we went in touch with Gemma and she’s absolutely a star, thank you so much! the customers service , the interaction on daily basis always keeping in contact and updating us with anything related to the shoot and we felt really comfortable in contacting both team members we didn’t feel any different but felt like a big part of a family any procedures we went through was really fast and efficient with no delays from their side having calls to generally catch up with anything making us sure and comfortable having the perfect information all set up instructions going with the flow , reliable company really great team workers everyone was really good.
On the day of the shoot we went and we had a really nice and warm welcome, we had an induction and went around the rooms so in each room what will be happening and where the toilets /cafe everything is ect making it easier to follow through and navigate. We had a really amazing time being cared of and making it feel like a home! The service and hospitality were really great. The model himself really enjoyed and the staff in the shoot (all) were fabulous and a friendly team with great service provided from all staff on the day.
