Modelling jobs and more...

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

First shoot 10/10
I had my first shoot today organised my Gemma from Models Direct, she was amazing start to finish, I was really nervous about it being my first but Gemma reassured me that I would have an amazing time! I really did, the shoot was so fun and the photographer and business owner for the shoot were so nice and fun.
We had a really good day, the photos were a fun style, I enjoyed every bit, the owner was so lovely and was so appreciative of me doing this for her. T
he photographer had me laughing so much so a lot of pictures were genuine laughter.
I would 100% do it again and I can’t wait for my next job!
Date of experience: 20 July 2025

My two dalmatians were booked to appear at a Christmas 'animal movie magic' event, held at Two Rivers Shopping Centre in Staines. As this was Bongo and Boris's first assignment I did feel a little nervous beforehand as I didn't know what to expect, but we all ended up having such a fantastic day! Bingo, Boris and I enjoyed the huge attention we received by the general public and this was a great experience from both dogs. Everyone loved having their photos taken with them and it was such a proud moment to see Bongo's poster up on the Two Rivers billboards. This has definitely been a good experience for both dogs and something useful to put on the portfolio as well as probably having some good photos to show as the local paper came to take photos. We decided to join Models Direct to show off our dalmatians as they're very well behaved and classic looking dogs, and they certainly seemed to please all that met them today!

This was my third booking and it was absolutely phenomenal. The small group of us were all very warmly welcomed by the Founder of The Beauty Beat . We were all older women, but we felt slightly nervous about the shoot as it involved working in pairs being interviewed by one another with set questions Donna had drafted and also working as a group. There was lots of laughter, fun and joy. The Beauty Beat shoot was a wonderful and beautiful experience. I thank the amazing and outstanding Models Direct team immensely. I was kept well informed by Charlie and contacted up to the day of the shoot to ensure I had the correct address and contact details. I was also contacted after the shoot. Thank you so much Models Direct.
