Modelling jobs and more...

I had a really nice experience today working with the Models Direct on a shoot for a care home campaign.
The team was professional, friendly, and everything was well organised. The day ran smoothly and felt relaxed.
We had several different settings, which made it interesting. My favourite was the café scene, where we were photographed having a natural conversation with older colleagues.
It felt genuine and not staged, which I really liked.
Overall, it was a very positive experience and I’d be happy to work with the team again.

Summer Campaign – London Shoot
We had an absolutely brilliant day shooting asummer campaign in London.
The energy on set was relaxed, collaborative, and full of those little moments that make a production genuinely enjoyable.
I had the pleasure of working with a mix of familiar faces and new talent, and the blend couldn’t have been better.
The returning models slipped straight back into that easy chemistry we’ve built over previous shoot, while the new additions brought fresh energy and enthusiasm that lifted the whole day.
A special shout‑out to Gemma at Models Direct, who was fantastic from start to finish. She kept me fully informed throughout the entire process — smooth communication, quick responses, and a real sense of care for both the production and the models. It made the whole experience seamless.
And of course… the model of the day — without question — was Lars the Bassett Hound. Stealing scenes, hearts, and probably a few snacks, Lars delivered every look with natural charm and comedic timing that no human can compete with. An absolute pro.
All in all, a great shoot with a great team. Looking forward to the next one.

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.
