Modelling jobs and more...

Recently was asked to do a shoot for a local hospice, thoroughly enjoyed the experience, the hospice staff were extremely welcoming and supportive, the production team were very professional and were very attentive. I felt this was a really worthy cause !
All the other models were fantastic company while we waited for our relative shoots, and Gemma kept us informed of any changes and updates regarding the shoot, and thank you for that - fantastic agency.

What a great experience we have just had as a family. Superb organisation right from the very beginning by Gemma @ Models Direct.
Gemma was very supportive and communicative all the way through and everyone involved with the shoot was extremely professional, friendly and made the experience a very enjoyable one.
The shoot was at a Holiday park and we got to experience many aspects of the parks facilities including water slides, restaurant, cinema and even their wave surfer!
All was explained to us before the day and any changes enforced by the weather was communicated with us fully so we always knew what we were doing next.
Great experience. Thank you again for all of the support.

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.

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!
