Modelling jobs and more...

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.

This lovely video feedback from our model Zane for his assignment filming a commercial for Pukka pads last week! On Wednesday I had my first assignment through Models Direct. We did 2 commercials for Pukka Pads. One was for a Puka Fun Colouring Book where we used iPads to scan it and it would come to life and it was really cool. The second one was for this really cool putty and I had just an amazing time.

The staff were really great and accommodating. They guided me throughout the photoshoot and told me how or what to do. However, there seems to be a miscommunication within the files that were sent to us as we didn’t need 3-4 outfits for the photoshoot. The wait for my photoshoot also took quite a while, under an hour. Overall the experience and staff were really good and I want to say thank you to Epson for picking me and giving me this opportunity.

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.
Date of experience: 10 April 2025
