Professionalism at its finest
It was nice to be back on a set and working alongside other professionals, the shoot today went smoothly and we were all looked after and considered.
As there was a lot of equipment and setting up to be done, there was some down time however production made sure we were aware what was going on and thanked us for our patience.
Everyone was lovely and it is always great to network with other models and hear about their experiences. Production was clear on what shots they were looking for and gave excellent direction for what was needed.
All in all, it was a great day and I am glad I got to be a part of it.

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

Today was my very first ad shoot, and I have to say, it was an exciting, fun-filled, and eye-opening experience.
From the moment I arrived at the studio, there was a buzz of energy in the air. The team was welcoming, and everyone seemed to be in their zone, preparing for what would turn out to be an unforgettable day. As we got started with the first few shots, I was amazed at how many people were behind the scenes, coordinating everything to perfection. The lighting, camera angles, and even the smallest details were all being adjusted to ensure the best results.
It was fascinating to see all the effort that goes into creating a perfect shot. While I expected there to be a lot of waiting around and setting up, the team made it smooth and fun with music, laughter, and light conversation. By midday, I felt like I had settled into my role and was having a blast.
It was not just about posing; it was about feeling the moment and connecting with the camera. I definitely felt more comfortable as the day went on, and there were several moments where I genuinely enjoyed being in front of the camera.
I would also thank my agent, Charlie, for her constand and prompt response to every query I had and in making this process as smooth and memorable as possible for me. In short, my first ad shoot was a thrilling experience. It was everything I hoped for and more, and I can’t wait to do it again!

Today was an exciting and rewarding day on set for my modelling shoot. From the moment I arrived, the energy was upbeat and everyone on the team was welcoming and professional.
The creative direction for the shoot was clear, and I loved seeing how the vision came to life through styling and set design.
During the shoot, I felt confident and focused. The photographer gave great feedback, and the atmosphere on set made it easy to stay comfortable in front of the camera. We worked through several looks, each with its own vibe and story, which allowed me to explore a range of expressions and poses.
I appreciated how collaborative the experience was — everyone was working together to get the best results.
Overall, I left the shoot feeling proud and accomplished. It was a long day, but so worth it. I learned more about how to move with intention and respond to direction quickly, which I know will help in future shoots.
I’m really excited to see the final images and grateful for the opportunity to work with such a talented team
