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.

I had an amazing time modelling as a “Country Loving Traditionalist”—such a fun and unique experience! To top it off, I even had a pretend husband for the day, which was a laugh. The shoots took place in stunning locations across Lincolnshire, showcasing the beautiful countryside. Afterward, we visited some charming pubs and restaurants. The whole team was absolutely lovely, and everything ran smoothly from start to finish. Date of experience: February 26, 2025

I was surprised that I was shortlisted for this position in Business Disability forum in University of Reading by Models Direct for the SECOND assignment.
I arrived at the University on time, which I had to informed the client by texted I was in the building (that was in the Call Sheet) and the client was very pleased and came down to meet and bring me back upstairs to the top floor and the client introduced me to her team, which I felt at ease and the photographer as well. Didn't get the chance to talk with the rest of the models when I arrive, but as day goes on, I was good to fit in nicely with the models as well.
A productive day for me, I had to work closely with the photographer (she had to walk through or around to point direction for me to take or having a small conversation with the model that I am paired with or just having an eye contact etc) and the model for showing or demonstrated how to do this or that. The client had to be involved in each department (it was nice to explore and to take part in this projects) of how the layout of myself and others models to be, as working together as a team work. Example, I had to deal with a sick patient in knowing in how much pain she could be in etc. I was also working in a laboratory using scientific methods by demonstrated it in how to or use it etc by assisting him. I got to work as staff in the University Reception and having customers come over to me and ask me questions or advice, direction, or interest of where to go etc. This is such a lovely experience for me and the rest of the models that took part in this incredible interesting Business Disability forum.
Very grateful of the outcome to this amazing assignment. Thank you so much for this opportunity! Icelia

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.
