Modelling jobs and more...

Working as a model for Models Direct for a promotional shoot in a studio was such a fabulous experience, and something completely unknown and new to me of what actually happens BTS in a studio and how all the takes complete a final product!
Models Direct (Gemma) was once again supportive from the beginning with issuing a brief beforehand of what to expect, a check-in phone call the day before the shoot, a follow-up call the day after the shoot and lots of encouragement and praise, thank you! Models Direct nurture us models from start (signing up) to finish (booking jobs) and it is so lovely to experience the care and support given, and something I'm sure doesn't happen with every Agency.
I had such a fun day and am grateful for the opportunity.

Organising the shoot was really smooth. Charlie, at Models direct was amazing, keeping us informed, sending information and answering all our questions.
This was our sons first shoot, with me tagging a long. We did a son and father shoot for a new campaign. We got their in plenty of time. Both me and son were nervous as we were not sure what to expect. But the shoot crew were really nice and down to earth and made the whole experience really fun and enjoyable.
We took photos and videos performing some of the new online trends and playing games. My son had a great time, especially laughing at me.
The crew were amazing, keeping us informed, working with us to get the photos and videos right and coaching and explaing to my son. We were at the shoot for about 4 hours which was about right, we had drinks, breaks and lots of laughs. Couldnt ask for a better first time experience.

I had my first shoot with models direct at Erigmore holiday park.
I was extremely nervous but the communication from Gemma was second to none! Unfortunately due to weather, the shoot was postponed a couple of times but on the day the sun was shining for us which was amazing!
The photographers were so lovely and I was made to feel so comfortable and at ease throughout the shoot.
Some of the locations we were taken to in the area were amazing and we all shared a lovely lunch and got to know each other.
I have made some friends from this and hopefully will get the opportunity to work with them again. It definitely was a very memorable experience, one I will never forget.
I'm really looking forward to working with Models direct again in the future

Firstly, everyone involved in the shoot was absolutely lovely and welcoming.
The company did really well to provide us with everything that we needed, they looked out for us and this made the shoot much more relaxed. Also, they did really well to explain the purpose of the shoot and what was expected of us which really helped with getting into the right mindset.
I worked both indoors and outdoors portraying a homeless teenager in need of aid and then getting provided with the necessary aid. Working on the streets of Lewisham also helped in order to see the situations homeless people find themselves in. Being in the actual environment was really useful as it allowed me to see exactly what homeless people go through and this only helped me portray a homeless teenager better.The shoot was really fun and this is down to not only my love of being in front of camera but also the team we worked with were not just kind but also fun to work with.
The shoot was similar to how I expected by reading the brief but was different to how I expected in terms of how easy it was to work with the team. Also on a personal note this first experience really helped me to realise that being in front of camera is when I am in my element.
Date of experience: 22 July 2025
