Modelling jobs and more...

We recently had the opportunity to take part in a family modelling shoot for Verdant Leisure at Pease Bay Holiday Park, and we honestly couldn’t have asked for a better experience.It was a full family experience for us — myself, my wife, our two children and our dog — and from the moment we arrived, we were made to feel incredibly welcome. The staff at the holiday park were professional, friendly and warm, and the accommodation was beautiful. We were kindly put up the night before, which made the whole experience relaxed and stress-free.The modelling day itself was exceptional. The entire crew were fantastic with both the children and our dog, making everyone feel completely at ease. As first-time models, we weren’t sure what to expect, but the team were incredibly patient and encouraging, and the kids had an absolute blast.What we particularly loved was that it didn’t feel like we were simply posing for photographs. Most of the day involved genuine family activities — playing football, enjoying the play park, building sandcastles, getting involved with the entertainment team and generally having fun together. It felt very natural, and the photographers and crew did a fantastic job of capturing those genuine family moments.The support from Models Direct throughout the whole experience was also fantastic. Their communication was excellent — they called to make sure we had arrived safely, checked in with us throughout the day and were always available if we needed anything. Gemma in particular was amazing and made the whole process flow incredibly smoothly from the modelling agency’s side. It really helped take away any nerves we had as first-time models.From the initial contact through to the actual shoot, the whole experience was incredibly well organised and enjoyable.As first-time models, we can’t wait for our next assignment and would absolutely recommend Models Direct to anyone considering getting involved in modelling.A huge thank you to everyone at Models Direct for giving our family such a fantastic opportunity and making the whole experience so enjoyable!

What a fantastic photoshoot with so many amazing products shortly due to hit the market. The children had a blast!
Models Direct kept us up-to-date with important details leading up to the shoot, ensured all questions were answered, and shared a clear itinerary so we all knew what to expect in advance.
On set, the photographers and client put the children and ease, quickly built a rapport and balanced support with giving them the freedom they needed to really show the products off. The children’s input was valued throughout the day and it was a great opportunity for the client to ‘road-test’ the products too.
Models Direct followed up with us the next morning and shared some brilliant feedback. Their communication and support throughout has been exemplary.
Overall, there was lots of fun and laughter, and some fabulous photos as a result. The whole experience has given the children a real confidence boost and they can’t wait to get involved in more!"

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

I recently had the pleasure of working with Models Direct on a really interesting assignment – being the model for a mole-analysis machine! From start to finish, my experience was overwhelmingly positive, and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend Models Direct to aspiring models.
What stood out most was the clear communication throughout the entire process. From the initial booking to the day of the shoot, I was kept well-informed and knew exactly what to expect. This really helped to put me at ease.
The professionalism of everyone involved, both from Models Direct and the client, was exceptional. The team on set was friendly, efficient, and created a comfortable working environment. I felt well-looked after and that my time was valued.
Overall, it was a smooth and enjoyable experience, and I'm very impressed with Models Direct's organization and the quality of the opportunities they provide.
I would absolutely recommend Models Direct to others looking to get into modelling; they are a truly professional and reliable agency.
