Modelling jobs and more...

Recently was asked to do a shoot for a local hospice, thoroughly enjoyed the experience, the hospice staff were extremely welcoming and supportive, the production team were very professional and were very attentive. I felt this was a really worthy cause !
All the other models were fantastic company while we waited for our relative shoots, and Gemma kept us informed of any changes and updates regarding the shoot, and thank you for that - fantastic agency.
Date of experience: 15 November 2024

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 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!
