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.
Date of experience: 10 April 2025

When we received the call from Models Direct about the assignment, we were very excited as it was the first time Adam was called for a shoot. We told him that he was going to play in a little movie. Adam thought it was going to play in Annie, the musical - he was very excited and couldn't wait. On the way to the set we explained his role which was to play happy child of foster parents and play with them on a bed. Anyway, Adam who is a very sociable child got along with everyone on set - the actors, the producers etc and he did exactly as he was told. The more Adam was asked to repeat his scene, the better he was getting as he bonded with his model parents. Overall, Adam said that he had a great time and he would do it again!

I couldn't have hoped for a better 'first time experience' with Models Direct if I had wished for it! The communication with Charlie was exemplary from start to finish! I received all the shoot information long before day with numerous opportunities to ask questions at every stage! The information was detailed, clear and concise and even provided background information regarding our Production Team! If that wasn’t enough, what pleased me the most was the thorough post shoot catch up. I have rarely been asked my personal views on a shoot , particularly from a view of improvements for future shoots!Thank you Models Direct particularly Charlie - heres to our continued success!!

Absolutely amazing members of staff. We had a fab day out with the family. Our daughter enjoyed her experience as it was her first photo shoot. The staff made her feel very relaxed and forgetful of any cameras being around. They had plenty of activities organised for the children while the photo shoot was happening. Then as a family we had a free pass of the area for the rest of the day. Refreshments and ice creams were available for the whole family as well. Couldn't have asked for a better experience! Thanks everyone!
