Modelling jobs and more...

I recently had an opportunity to work with Models Direct, This was my first shoot with them and it was very exciting. This was for a well known pub brand, it was a very nice location and all the people involved were exceptional including the staff of the Public House.As a first assignment it was a very interesting day and I gained valuable experience, the team were very professional and supportive.I met a lot of interesting people who gave me valuable insight and information about this industry.All in all it was a very good day.

I wasn't nervous before my shoot with the NHS. I had fun chatting to the 'doctor' on the shoot. I just had to lay in bed and answer questions about my reason for being in hospital, then I chatted with the 'doctor' on being discharged. I didn't necessarily learn new skills as I am used to working on stills shoots, but I would recommend this type of work as it is all great experience. In terms of joining an agency, I think you have to be patient and not expect too much too soon. I signed with Models Direct because they approached me.

Firstly, everyone involved in the shoot was absolutely lovely and welcoming.
The company did really well to provide us with everything that we needed, they looked out for us and this made the shoot much more relaxed. Also, they did really well to explain the purpose of the shoot and what was expected of us which really helped with getting into the right mindset.
I worked both indoors and outdoors portraying a homeless teenager in need of aid and then getting provided with the necessary aid. Working on the streets of Lewisham also helped in order to see the situations homeless people find themselves in. Being in the actual environment was really useful as it allowed me to see exactly what homeless people go through and this only helped me portray a homeless teenager better.The shoot was really fun and this is down to not only my love of being in front of camera but also the team we worked with were not just kind but also fun to work with.
The shoot was similar to how I expected by reading the brief but was different to how I expected in terms of how easy it was to work with the team. Also on a personal note this first experience really helped me to realise that being in front of camera is when I am in my element.

Fantastic Modeling AgencyI recently had the amazing opportunity to take part in a shoot with Games Workshop for Warhammer through Models Direct, and the whole experience was fantastic from start to finish.
It was my first time working on something like this, and I was thrilled to be involved with such a creative and iconic brand.On the day of the shoot, I was joined by a few other models who were also doing this for the first time, which made the atmosphere really friendly and supportive.
It was great to connect with others who were just as excited and a bit nervous—but we quickly bonded, and that helped everyone feel more relaxed and confident.
We shot a variety of scenes, inspired by the Warhammer universe. Scene Studio team was incredibly professional and welcoming, guiding us through each part of the process and making sure we all felt comfortable. The attention to detail on set was impressive, and it was such a fun and immersive experience.
I would like to thank Gemma at Models Direct, the experience was nothing short of fantastic.
From the very beginning, Models Direct were incredibly organised and professional—they kept us fully in the loop at every stage, and their communication was absolutely top class.
I felt well-prepared and confident going into the shoot, thanks to their clear guidance and support.
I’d recommend them to anyone looking to get started in the industry, and I’m really looking forward to my next opportunity!
