Modelling jobs and more...

Tuesday turned out to be an amazing day! 7.30am saw myself and two other models along with film crew in Battersea Park to shoot an advertisement feature for Birra Moretti promoting a new venture into catering. There were three vintage Fiat 500s along with their owners and the morning saw us being filmed supposedly delivering ingredients to private homes to create food for a dinner party. The highlight of this was being driven backwards and forwards over Albert bridge weaving in and out of the traffic to enable the camera crew to get the shots they needed!! We then moved to a private house to be filmed delivering ingredients and then cooking a meal. It was a fun filled afternoon with much laughter - the video and camera men were brilliant at setting up the shots they needed and so helpful in their directions. The makeup lady ensured we looked our best and supplies of refreshments were readily available when needed. As usual Molly had given clear instructions regarding requirements for the assignment - thank you Models Direct for a memorable day.

Hi, I want to say first of all how helpful, enthusiastic and supportive Gemma was at every stage of my experience modelling so successfully once again for Models Direct.
I was glad to do it for such a good cause too - Alzheimer's Research UK and found it a very interesting and eye opening experience.
The crew I worked with were all really lovely people. I found them welcoming, warm and they offered very helpful guidance and positive feedback throughout the process. I could see how passionate they were about Alzheimer's UK. My partner for the day was very pleasant and we got on well.
All in all an excellent experience. I'm very happy to have been selected for the shoot.

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

WHAT MORE COULD A GIRL WANT?!
We joined Myleigh up to Models Direct to help build her confidence and gain experience. This was Myleigh's first assignment and it was for Snazaroo, the world's largest face painting company. When we arrived Myleigh was made very welcome, which immediately put her at ease.Her first face paint was a monkey; Myleigh had such fun jumping around and getting into character. Myleigh said the best bit was ' having the girly glittery butterfly face' and pretending to be having a girl's birthday party - they had balloons, music, pretty dresses and wonderfully painted faces...... what more could a girl possibly want?!!Myleigh surprised me with her confidence and patience, they had so much fun and made so many new friends that the time went so fast and she didn't want to go home. She is looking forward to tomorrow when she returns to see what other characters she will be.I recommend signing your children up to Models Direct as they learn so much from the experience. I know for certain Myleigh will remember this for the rest of her life. Thank you Models Direct and thank you Snazaroo for giving Myleigh this fantastic opportunity.
