Modelling jobs and more...

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.

We were invited to take part in a children’s wear shoot for a high end brand at an iconic location!
The sun was shining and everyone was super friendly & accommodating to Cheddar, ensuring we had everything we needed to keep him happy & cool in the heat.
He had plenty of breaks between shots to rest and his safety was a priority when shooting outside.
Models Direct supported me throughout the process with detailed briefs, emails & phone calls in the lead up, and a follow up phone call afterwards to see how it had gone.
Shout out to Gemma who is always great to chat to & answer any questions.
Thank you

I really enjoyed this second assignment through Models Direct. Thank you to Charlie for all her support before and on the day, making sure I had all the necessary project information. I met the client on location, and after the initial briefing, quickly got into action involving shots both indoors and outdoors. Filming social media content is really creative and fun. The photographer and I worked really well together and laughed a lot, which made the time go quick. Really enjoyed this project on a beautiful sunny day.

I took Logan who is 18 months old to Weybourne Beach to model clothes for the Next winter catalogue. He had a great time playing with the other children and being on the beach. He had to get changed into the clothes that were provided and then we went down closer to the water with a boat and some cliffs in the background and Logan had his photo taken. The photographer and crew were very friendly and Logan loved them! He had his hair trimmed by the hairdresser which was done perfectly and made him look really grown up. I think the most enjoyable part of the assignment for Logan was being on the beach playing with the pebbles and being around the other children. This was Logan's second assignment though Models Direct so he is gaining experience in front of the camera. I would definitely advise people to join this agency as everyone is so friendly and helpful and it is a great experience going out there and getting dressed up to have your photo taken for a big brand. I originally decided to join Logan up with Models Direct as he has a very distinctive look as he has a big afro so I thought it would be nice to try and show all his hair off and get him into something like this. Before this assignment I hadn't updated Logan's e-portfolio for a while, but I will definitely start updating it more regularly again now! Thank you, Elishia
