Modelling jobs and more...

I had the opportunity to be part of the Greene King modelling shoot, and overall it was a smooth and relaxed day, though quite slow-paced.
I arrived at 9 AM and spent the majority of the morning, until around midday, in the waiting room with the rest of the talent. The team was friendly and accommodating, and there was a chilled atmosphere, but there wasn’t much going on for most of that time. We then had an hour-long lunch break from 12 to 1 PM, which gave us a good chance to recharge and catch up with others on set.
After lunch, I was called onto set and spent about an hour and a half standing at the bar, acting as a background extra while the main shots were taken. It was straightforward and easy to follow direction, and the production crew were clear with what they needed. Once that wrapped, it was back to the waiting area again, where we stayed until we were dismissed.
Although there wasn’t a huge amount of activity throughout the day, the environment was positive, and everyone was easy to work with
Thanks for the opportunity

I was surprised that I was shortlisted for this position in Business Disability forum in University of Reading by Models Direct for the SECOND assignment.
I arrived at the University on time, which I had to informed the client by texted I was in the building (that was in the Call Sheet) and the client was very pleased and came down to meet and bring me back upstairs to the top floor and the client introduced me to her team, which I felt at ease and the photographer as well. Didn't get the chance to talk with the rest of the models when I arrive, but as day goes on, I was good to fit in nicely with the models as well.
A productive day for me, I had to work closely with the photographer (she had to walk through or around to point direction for me to take or having a small conversation with the model that I am paired with or just having an eye contact etc) and the model for showing or demonstrated how to do this or that. The client had to be involved in each department (it was nice to explore and to take part in this projects) of how the layout of myself and others models to be, as working together as a team work. Example, I had to deal with a sick patient in knowing in how much pain she could be in etc. I was also working in a laboratory using scientific methods by demonstrated it in how to or use it etc by assisting him. I got to work as staff in the University Reception and having customers come over to me and ask me questions or advice, direction, or interest of where to go etc. This is such a lovely experience for me and the rest of the models that took part in this incredible interesting Business Disability forum.
Very grateful of the outcome to this amazing assignment. Thank you so much for this opportunity! Icelia

CLIMBING IN CONFIDENCE
The assignment Models Direct sent me on with the National Trust was really good fun but I was very nervous because I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. In this modelling shoot I had to overcome my fear of heights as we were asked to climb a tree for the photos! But the photographer was nice and helped a lot. The tree was easy to climb, there were five of us in the tree and we had lots of pictures taken in different poses. In the end I enjoyed climbing and got more confident as I climbed higher and higher. I think everyone should climb trees because this was what the National Trust says is good for us. I would say that being a model is a great way of doing new things and learning new stuff. If you want to be a model you should join an agency and try to keep your e-portfolio up to date. I did this for the experience and have enjoyed my work as a model.

Working with Models Direct is always an experience to see for yourself. I honestly had a good time and felt comfortable on the day. lets do it again right away.
