Modelling jobs and more...

I was surprised that I was shortlisted for this position in Business Disability forum in University of Reading by Models Direct for the SECOND assignment.
I arrived at the University on time, which I had to informed the client by texted I was in the building (that was in the Call Sheet) and the client was very pleased and came down to meet and bring me back upstairs to the top floor and the client introduced me to her team, which I felt at ease and the photographer as well. Didn't get the chance to talk with the rest of the models when I arrive, but as day goes on, I was good to fit in nicely with the models as well.
A productive day for me, I had to work closely with the photographer (she had to walk through or around to point direction for me to take or having a small conversation with the model that I am paired with or just having an eye contact etc) and the model for showing or demonstrated how to do this or that. The client had to be involved in each department (it was nice to explore and to take part in this projects) of how the layout of myself and others models to be, as working together as a team work. Example, I had to deal with a sick patient in knowing in how much pain she could be in etc. I was also working in a laboratory using scientific methods by demonstrated it in how to or use it etc by assisting him. I got to work as staff in the University Reception and having customers come over to me and ask me questions or advice, direction, or interest of where to go etc. This is such a lovely experience for me and the rest of the models that took part in this incredible interesting Business Disability forum.
Very grateful of the outcome to this amazing assignment. Thank you so much for this opportunity! Icelia

Fantastic Modeling AgencyI recently had the amazing opportunity to take part in a shoot with Games Workshop for Warhammer through Models Direct, and the whole experience was fantastic from start to finish.
It was my first time working on something like this, and I was thrilled to be involved with such a creative and iconic brand.On the day of the shoot, I was joined by a few other models who were also doing this for the first time, which made the atmosphere really friendly and supportive.
It was great to connect with others who were just as excited and a bit nervous—but we quickly bonded, and that helped everyone feel more relaxed and confident.
We shot a variety of scenes, inspired by the Warhammer universe. Scene Studio team was incredibly professional and welcoming, guiding us through each part of the process and making sure we all felt comfortable. The attention to detail on set was impressive, and it was such a fun and immersive experience.
I would like to thank Gemma at Models Direct, the experience was nothing short of fantastic.
From the very beginning, Models Direct were incredibly organised and professional—they kept us fully in the loop at every stage, and their communication was absolutely top class.
I felt well-prepared and confident going into the shoot, thanks to their clear guidance and support.
I’d recommend them to anyone looking to get started in the industry, and I’m really looking forward to my next opportunity!

I have been extremely impressed with Models Direct as an Agency due to many factors. From the registration process with Heidi who actually had conversations with me and didn't make me feel like just a number to get on their books to pay the fee, but who I felt was completely genuine, watching their active and impressive social media postings (hoping one day I would be up there!), good luck wishes and well done posts and stories, to being active in looking for work for me from the beginning.
And then there's Gemma! Gemma has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She was so helpful in booking in my first job with Models Direct and was in regular contact, sending through booking information, promptly answered any queries that I had, helped me to feel at ease in the lead up, wished me luck on the day and then followed up after the shoot. Gemma really is a credit to the agency as she is professional, friendly, personable, positive, full of encouragement and very knowledgeable.
I am still smiling from ear to ear after the shoot yesterday as I couldn't have asked for a better first experience! My male model partner was a perfect match for me, and the photographers were so helpful, experienced, laid back, calming and such a pleasure to work with, we all enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and had such a laugh! The client was very accommodating also, looked after us very well and made us feel special.
I honestly can't thank Models Direct and Gemma enough and will always have the fondest memories of my first shoot!

The shoot was okay. There was no problems. Thank you!
