Modelling jobs and more...

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.

My day yesterday in Southampton was more than I expected. The team of organisers and cameramen were so friendly and inviting and very well organised.My day started with being filmed exercising followed by dancing. We then were given coffee and biscuits. I then was filmed making a cake followed by a walk in the garden before lunch. The afternoon consisted of being filmed eating Christmas dinner pulling crackers playing games and having my hair done. It was a very busy day but so much fun with such lovely people to work with.Thank you Models Direct for giving me the opportunity to work with these super fun people and for me to gain more experience in front of the camera.

I have been extremely impressed with Models Direct as an Agency due to many factors. From the registration process with Heidi who actually had conversations with me and didn't make me feel like just a number to get on their books to pay the fee, but who I felt was completely genuine, watching their active and impressive social media postings (hoping one day I would be up there!), good luck wishes and well done posts and stories, to being active in looking for work for me from the beginning.
And then there's Gemma! Gemma has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She was so helpful in booking in my first job with Models Direct and was in regular contact, sending through booking information, promptly answered any queries that I had, helped me to feel at ease in the lead up, wished me luck on the day and then followed up after the shoot. Gemma really is a credit to the agency as she is professional, friendly, personable, positive, full of encouragement and very knowledgeable.
I am still smiling from ear to ear after the shoot yesterday as I couldn't have asked for a better first experience! My male model partner was a perfect match for me, and the photographers were so helpful, experienced, laid back, calming and such a pleasure to work with, we all enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and had such a laugh! The client was very accommodating also, looked after us very well and made us feel special.
I honestly can't thank Models Direct and Gemma enough and will always have the fondest memories of my first shoot!

Models Direct have continued to impress me with finding work that suits my character and interests. It was great to be working again after some time off, and each shoot my confidence grows and it's lovely to meet and network with new people. Representing Models Direct is always a pleasure. The clients were fantastic and knew what vision they needed from me and made the environment stress free and enjoyable to work in. They even took onboard ideas I put forward and the days on set flew by. It was a pleasure to work with them and be a part of the shoot!
