Modelling jobs and more...

For their very first job with Models Direct, Sophia & Freya had the amazing opportunity to do a video call with Santa at home. Prior to the project they were not told and they were delighted to get to speak to Father Christmas. I on the other hand was briefed by mail from the company and calls with production both the night before and on the morning to go over all the specifics and details for the day. Due to this the call went really well and Santa was on the phone with both girls for 15 minutes and was very patient with them both as they were very excited. He took time to ask and answer questions and helped unwittingly get the girls to deliver some great content – they even discovered Santa can roll his tongue after asking him. Afterwards production made it easy to send over my content and we are looking forward to seeing the finished result. The girls can’t stop talking about it and can’t wait until they get to do another job. Thanks Models Direct!

My first-ever Lights,Laughter and MY First Photoshoot! My first-ever photoshoot was an absolute breeze! Iv always had a thing for cameras, so stepping in front of one felt like second nature. The real magic happened when the team cracked jokes to get thoses genuine smiles- nothing forced, just pure fun. From the agency to the photographers and clients, everyone was incredibly warm and focused on making sure I was comfortable. It wasn't just about getting the perfect shot; it was about creating a relaxed vibe that made the whole day enjoyable. I had a blast and can't wait to do it all over again. Bring on the next one!

I was greeted with friendly faces from the get go & had all the information I needed to feel safe in the inclusive environment provided.
All staff were helpful & I had excellent guidance from Gemma, hope to work with her & Models Direct again soon!

1st timeI’d like to start by expressing my genuine appreciation for finally being given the opportunity to take part in the recent commercial shoot for Greene King at Cheadle Hulme. This was my first modeling experience with Models Direct since joining back in 2023, and overall, the day itself was incredibly fulfilling. I thoroughly enjoyed being part of a vibrant set, meeting new people, and contributing to scenes I didn’t expect to be involved in — it truly gave me a glimpse into the potential of what this career could be.
That said, I do feel it’s important to share some honest feedback regarding the process leading up to this point. While I’m grateful for the experience, I can’t ignore the fact that it’s taken nearly three years to receive my first assignment. During this time, I’ve seen others come on board and secure shoots within a couple of months, which has been difficult to witness as someone who’s been committed to the journey since 2023.
I understand that opportunities in this industry can be unpredictable, and that sometimes it’s about timing and fit. However, the wait has been disheartening at times, especially without consistent communication or clarity on how I could have improved my chances. I say this not out of complaint, but out of a sincere desire to be considered more actively moving forward.
The shoot reminded me how much I enjoy this space, and I hope this can be the beginning of more regular opportunities. I’m committed, adaptable, and ready to bring more energy and professionalism to future assignments.
Thank you again for the opportunity — I just hope it won’t take another three years for the next one.
Date of experience: 10 April 2025
