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

We recently took part in our first family photoshoot. It was a swim shoot, where we each had individual photos and videos taken as well as together as a family. The focus was on capturing us all having fun, and it was a great experience from start to finish. We all genuinely enjoyed the afternoon.The staff were friendly and approachable, taking the time to chat with us and make sure we were comfortable throughout.The whole environment was relaxed, which helped us feel comfortable in front of the camera, especially as it was our first time. It didn’t feel rushed or pressured at any point.It’s definitely something we’d love to do again in the future. Thank you to everyone involved for making it such an enjoyable afternoon.

WHAT MORE COULD A GIRL WANT?!
We joined Myleigh up to Models Direct to help build her confidence and gain experience. This was Myleigh's first assignment and it was for Snazaroo, the world's largest face painting company. When we arrived Myleigh was made very welcome, which immediately put her at ease.Her first face paint was a monkey; Myleigh had such fun jumping around and getting into character. Myleigh said the best bit was ' having the girly glittery butterfly face' and pretending to be having a girl's birthday party - they had balloons, music, pretty dresses and wonderfully painted faces...... what more could a girl possibly want?!!Myleigh surprised me with her confidence and patience, they had so much fun and made so many new friends that the time went so fast and she didn't want to go home. She is looking forward to tomorrow when she returns to see what other characters she will be.I recommend signing your children up to Models Direct as they learn so much from the experience. I know for certain Myleigh will remember this for the rest of her life. Thank you Models Direct and thank you Snazaroo for giving Myleigh this fantastic opportunity.

A Truly Immersive and Well-Organised Shoot I had a wonderful experience during today’s shoot. The entire staff was incredibly kind, welcoming, and accommodating. The script provided was very clear, and the team was extremely patient and supportive with all the models. Although we quickly understood the client’s requirements, the team ensured that everyone felt comfortable and confident throughout the process. The level of involvement and enthusiasm from everyone on set was amazing... we became so immersed in our characters that it genuinely felt like the scenes were unfolding in real life. We were so engaged in the shoot that we completely lost track of time. The day was well organised, with sufficient breaks, and it was a great opportunity to connect and network with everyone involved. The entire team was professional, friendly, and very easy to work with. Last but not least, I would like to extend a special thank you to Charlie for being so supportive and for always ensuring that we, as models, felt safe, comfortable, and happy throughout the shoot. I would also like to thank Models Direct for providing me with this wonderful opportunity. It was truly a memorable experience.
