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

I recently participated in a booking for a new campaign which must remain confidential at this moment.
Photos and videos were taken of us and we got to talk about digital wellbeing in an interview with a real presenter.
I met new kids who are also with models direct who are interested in the same thing as me and we got to know each other have fun and experience shoots together.
I hope there are many more opportunities like his for me in the future.

My two dalmatians were booked to appear at a Christmas 'animal movie magic' event, held at Two Rivers Shopping Centre in Staines. As this was Bongo and Boris's first assignment I did feel a little nervous beforehand as I didn't know what to expect, but we all ended up having such a fantastic day! Bingo, Boris and I enjoyed the huge attention we received by the general public and this was a great experience from both dogs. Everyone loved having their photos taken with them and it was such a proud moment to see Bongo's poster up on the Two Rivers billboards. This has definitely been a good experience for both dogs and something useful to put on the portfolio as well as probably having some good photos to show as the local paper came to take photos. We decided to join Models Direct to show off our dalmatians as they're very well behaved and classic looking dogs, and they certainly seemed to please all that met them today!

Yesterday, we had our very first family photoshoot at a popular holiday park and it was incredible from start to finish! The entire team made us feel so welcome and completely at ease. Everything was taken care of the moment we arrived, which allowed us to really enjoy the experience.
We even brought our dog along, and he was able to join in on some of the photos. The team had people on hand to help look after him as well, which was a lovely touch.
A special thank you goes to Gemma at Models Direct, who went above and beyond behind the scenes to organise everything and ensure the shoot ran smoothly. Her clear instructions and support made a huge difference.
We’re so grateful for this opportunity. Thank you for making our first shoot so relaxed, fun, and memorable!
