Modelling jobs and more...

We recently had the opportunity to take part in a family modelling shoot for Verdant Leisure at Pease Bay Holiday Park, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.It was a full family experience for us — myself, my wife, our two children and our dog — and from the moment we arrived, we were made to feel incredibly welcome. The staff at the holiday park were professional, friendly and warm, and the accommodation was beautiful. We were kindly put up the night before, which made the whole experience relaxed and stress-free.The modelling day itself was exceptional. The entire crew were fantastic with both the children and our dog, making everyone feel completely at ease. As first-time models, we weren’t sure what to expect, but the team were incredibly patient and encouraging, and the kids had an absolute blast.What we particularly loved was that it didn’t feel like we were simply posing for photographs. Most of the day involved genuine family activities — playing football, enjoying the play park, building sandcastles, getting involved with the entertainment team and generally having fun together. It felt very natural, and the photographers and crew did a fantastic job of capturing those genuine family moments.The support from Models Direct throughout the whole experience was also fantastic. Their communication was excellent — they called to make sure we had arrived safely, checked in with us throughout the day and were always available if we needed anything. Gemma in particular was amazing and made the whole process flow incredibly smoothly from the modelling agency’s side. It really helped take away any nerves we had as first-time models.From the initial contact through to the actual shoot, the whole experience was incredibly well organised and enjoyable.As first-time models, we can’t wait for our next assignment and would absolutely recommend Models Direct to anyone considering getting involved in modelling.A huge thank you to everyone at Models Direct for giving our family such a fantastic opportunity and making the whole experience so enjoyable!

This was my first ever assignment !!

Thank you , Models Direct a great first time experience.

I thoroughly enjoyed my latest acting role, although I was slightly nervous beforehand as it was the biggest job I have had, however the team really made me feel at ease. I enjoyed shooting all the scenes. I filmed for an NHS information film and had to be filmed using the various facilities around the hospital. I gained some new insight into what it is like to be an actor i.e. how long scenes can take to film. I also gained confidence from the experience and feel it will help with my future bookings. I would recommend the experience to others as it was a useful and enjoyable experience. I would tell anyone looking to get into the talent industry to join an agency, which is a very useful move as well as maintaining a quality and up to date portfolio. I am always on Models Direct's websites and social media keeping an eye out for jobs as being proactive is important in order to obtain more work. I joined up with Models Direct to gain more experience and pursue my dream career as an actor and model, and they have really helped me to move forward in this field.

I Jonathan Harrington had a very good experience with this being my first ever shoot through models direct. Met some lovely people at the shoot and all were very friendly and easy going.I had the opportunity to do a wide of different shots. Some just pictures and other short film. All in all a very good day.Kind regardsJonathan
