A fantastic day being a “Country Loving Traditionalist” for Destination Lincolnshire.@Tonypleavin the photographer was so calming and clear with his direction that it felt like a genuine walk in the park, meal out, drinks in the hotel with @tamsinlorna_Clear instructions from the moment the last minute booking came in from Gemma made the day so smooth too.Thank you!

I had the pleasure of participating in a shoot today, and I wanted to share my experience. The day began with a warm welcome at reception, where I enjoyed a refreshing cup before heading to the set. There, I met Chris Golding, whose exuberance whose and detailed briefing set the tone for the day. His perspective in the country setting and clear outline of the project were both engaging and informative.
Caitlin, one of the key team members then arrived, while others assumed their roles. I was particularly struck by the fact that two of the carers featured were real-life community staff. Their soothing presence and dedication brought a genuine energy which was infectious.
The photographer’s expertise was exceptional, with some great lighting and angles for every scene. The shoot was a pleasure, thanks to the variety of backdrops—kitchen, living room, bedroom, garden, and market—each thoughtfully scouted. Some scenes were bathed in soft pastel hues, while others, like the riverside walk, were beautifully dappled, creating a joyful atmosphere. The focused nature of the work yet on such a pleasant day was disciplining.
The shoot balanced the challenge of portraying the emotional weight of separation with the need to make the living accommodation accessible and appealing. Having experienced loss myself last year, I found the sensitivity with which this was handled quite moving.
Thank you for the opportunity to be part of it and I look forward to future collaborations.
Best regards, David Dean

Following our recent family photoshoot, we wanted to take the opportunity to share what a truly fantastic experience we had from start to finish.
From the moment we arrived, we were made to feel incredibly welcome by the whole team. Everyone was friendly, professional, and genuinely invested in helping us achieve the look and outcome we were hoping for. As a family, it can sometimes be challenging to coordinate everyone and keep young children engaged, but the crew made the entire process feel effortless.
The team went above and beyond to ensure the children were comfortable and entertained throughout the session. They provided colouring books, snacks, and plenty of encouragement, helping to keep the atmosphere relaxed and enjoyable. Their patience, energy, and ability to engage with the kids made a huge difference and allowed us all to enjoy the experience rather than feel rushed or pressured.
What stood out most was how naturally the crew encouraged us to interact as a family. They created a fun and relaxed environment where the children could simply be themselves, resulting in genuine smiles, laughter, and special moments together. The team's guidance helped us feel confident in front of the camera, and they were always on hand with suggestions and support to get the best out of every shot.
The whole photoshoot felt more like a fun family activity than a formal photography session. The children had an amazing time on set, and it was wonderful to see them enjoying themselves while creating memories together. The atmosphere was warm, friendly, and professional throughout, making the experience one that we will remember fondly.
We left feeling excited and grateful for such a positive experience and are now eagerly looking forward to seeing the final photographs. Based on our experience, we would highly recommend this team to any family looking for a fun, relaxed, and professional photoshoot experience. Thank you to everyone involved for making it such a memorable day and thanks to models direct for introducing us to the client!!!

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!
