My first experience Working with Model Direct
My first experience as a Highlighting model was truly fantastic! From the moment I arrived, I was warmly welcomed and guided through every step of the process. The entire team was incredibly professional, attentive, and made sure I felt comfortable at all times.
The organization was flawless, with every detail carefully planned and executed.
The atmosphere was both friendly and inspiring, which made the experience even more enjoyable.
I appreciated how they took the time to explain each part of the process and ensured everything was tailored to highlight my best features.
Overall, it was an unforgettable experience, and I’m so grateful for the opportunity to work with such a talented and dedicated team!

Hi Gemma,
Following on from the below, we’re prepping for multiple shoots for Fusion Students (https://www.fusionstudents.co.uk/the-fusion-feeling/) to promote their brand new accommodation.
We’d be creating content across the 4 sites (London, Nottingham, York & Liverpool) between July-September, and would likely need around 8 models for each shoot for both photo and video lifestyle content.
We have already worked on similar content for Yourtribe (see below), and we’d like to have the same kind of vibe with a nice varied mix of ‘students’ to represent the target audience. They will be in various social spaces across the site such as kitchen areas, fitness rooms, social lounges and study areas, just relaxing and having a nice time!
https://vimeo.com/1090413802?share=copy#t=0
In terms of usage, this content would be used for;
PHOTO - website, social media, print (A4/A3 formats) and paid media
VIDEO - website, social media (with some formatted to be used in Reels, TikTok etc) and paid media
Do you have people available during that period (exact dates tbc) who you think would be suitable for this, and their day rates?
If the cost for 1 day differs to hiring them for a few days, then it would also be useful to know what that would look like to have them on board for 2 or 3 days.
I hope this is enough info at this stage to get a ballpark figure, but please don’t hesitate to reach out if you need anything further from our side.

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.

CLIMBING IN CONFIDENCE
The assignment Models Direct sent me on with the National Trust was really good fun but I was very nervous because I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. In this modelling shoot I had to overcome my fear of heights as we were asked to climb a tree for the photos! But the photographer was nice and helped a lot. The tree was easy to climb, there were five of us in the tree and we had lots of pictures taken in different poses. In the end I enjoyed climbing and got more confident as I climbed higher and higher. I think everyone should climb trees because this was what the National Trust says is good for us. I would say that being a model is a great way of doing new things and learning new stuff. If you want to be a model you should join an agency and try to keep your e-portfolio up to date. I did this for the experience and have enjoyed my work as a model.
