Modelling jobs and more...

First shoot was a success!!Was booked for a video shoot and had a great time! Met loads of other models and actors from the agency with different levels of experience.It was a day shoot and we had time to eat in the middle too which was good! All the staff and models were very friendly and I enjoyed speaking to everyone and hearing about the different kinds of jobs they’ve done in the past to get where they are now!I had fun, learned a lot and got to work with amazing people so overall, shoot was incredible considering it was my first one!!Date of experience: 28 November 2024

LUXURY PET CLOTHING AND ACCESSORIES
When I saw the advertisement from Models Direct for a dog model, our Sid sounded like he'd fit the bill! He had recently modelled in a local photo shoot for a clothing brand and he was the star of the show!The shoot we attended was for a London based dog clothing and accessories brand that are launching this September and needed some photos for the website and other relevant media. It helped when I was giving Sid commands so that he posed well, and he also got lots of treats for being good. He sat well for what they needed and fell asleep a few times on set - which was sometimes perfect for the image of the photo, but sometimes we did have to wake him up!As he is only five months we were a little worried about his reaction to trains, tubes and the business of London travelling in peak times but he was brilliant and even fell asleep a few times on the journey.The best part of the day for Sid was all the fuss and treats he was getting. He learnt a lot from the day and it did wonders for his training. It’s certainly made me more confident in taking him places and being able to trust his behaviour in different circumstances and environments.I would recommend to other puppy owners to do something like this because it’s excellent for socializing your pup and getting some lovely photos of them while they are still small!We would love to do more of these shoots and hope to build him a portfolio that will allow us to do so more often. It was a great experience for him so we would like to keep it going!

I took Logan who is 18 months old to Weybourne Beach to model clothes for the Next winter catalogue. He had a great time playing with the other children and being on the beach. He had to get changed into the clothes that were provided and then we went down closer to the water with a boat and some cliffs in the background and Logan had his photo taken. The photographer and crew were very friendly and Logan loved them! He had his hair trimmed by the hairdresser which was done perfectly and made him look really grown up. I think the most enjoyable part of the assignment for Logan was being on the beach playing with the pebbles and being around the other children. This was Logan's second assignment though Models Direct so he is gaining experience in front of the camera. I would definitely advise people to join this agency as everyone is so friendly and helpful and it is a great experience going out there and getting dressed up to have your photo taken for a big brand. I originally decided to join Logan up with Models Direct as he has a very distinctive look as he has a big afro so I thought it would be nice to try and show all his hair off and get him into something like this. Before this assignment I hadn't updated Logan's e-portfolio for a while, but I will definitely start updating it more regularly again now! Thank you, Elishia

My first experience with Models Direct was better than I expected. The team was very friendly and the process was super seamless.
It was great to meet the other models, they were fun, professional and great to shoot with.
My first shoot was posing as a student in school accommodation. I really enjoyed the different scenes that we shot, the photographer and director gave easy instructions and helpful feedback. Even though we were doing a couple different scenes everything was very quick and easy and the team got us out in a breeze, it felt very organized.
The management team behind the scenes was also helpful, very communicative and is always willing to help.
I feel like we got a lot of great photos and can’t wait to see them.
I’m looking forward to my next experience with Model Direct as my first was so exciting.
I’m eager to see what new opportunities in the future can help hold.
