Modelling jobs and more...

First JobWith this being my first job in the industry I didn’t really know what to expect. However from the minute I got to the job I was made to feel at ease but also throughout the day. I met some great people, and these people had previous experience. Which really helped me when doing the still shots, as it was meant to show people having a good enjoyable time.I’m looking forward to seeing the final shots, but also hopefully getting more jobs through models direct.
Considering my profile has only been live for 2 weeks, I hope this puts me in good stead.
The whole process has been very professional, Gemma has been brilliant. Sending me all the relevant info, and stating she’s there if you have any questions.Thanks to all at models direct again!

I joined Models Direct after I took semi-retirement and had a bit more spare time on my hands. I am a fairly confident person and love meeting new people. I wanted to do something completely different and it seemed like a fun and interesting thing to do. This was my first assignment and I was booked to pose as part of a couple using Airport Parking Facilities for a holiday company. The assignment took place near Aberdeen Airport and was over three days. I didn't quite know what to expect, but I needn't have worried as the crew were fantastic at putting me at ease and explaining exactly what they needed from me. I thoroughly enjoyed working with my partner and the crew and learned about the process of shooting an advert. I found the whole experience totally enjoyable and really exciting, and would certainly like to do more work like this in the future. I think it has been a great move for me to join Models Direct as they have managed the whole booking process with professionalism. They have also been extremely encouraging and supportive.

Models direct got me a great first job!
It was an incredibly different job to what I thought my first job would be but it was so interesting and easy to work with the client and Gemma at MD.
I worked at a dermatology convention on a body scanning machine and it helped build my confidence and they made me feel so welcome.
The client and all the team were so great to work with. I also worked alongside another model from the agency.
This experience was a great job and great working with models direct who helped with parking, travel and getting the job right.
This was great fun meeting all the client and being part of the convention for a few days.

I thoroughly enjoyed my latest acting role, although I was slightly nervous beforehand as it was the biggest job I have had, however the team really made me feel at ease. I enjoyed shooting all the scenes. I filmed for an NHS information film and had to be filmed using the various facilities around the hospital. I gained some new insight into what it is like to be an actor i.e. how long scenes can take to film. I also gained confidence from the experience and feel it will help with my future bookings. I would recommend the experience to others as it was a useful and enjoyable experience. I would tell anyone looking to get into the talent industry to join an agency, which is a very useful move as well as maintaining a quality and up to date portfolio. I am always on Models Direct's websites and social media keeping an eye out for jobs as being proactive is important in order to obtain more work. I joined up with Models Direct to gain more experience and pursue my dream career as an actor and model, and they have really helped me to move forward in this field.
