Modelling jobs and more...

I thoroughly enjoyed my latest acting role, although I was slightly nervous beforehand as it was the biggest job I have had, however the team really made me feel at ease. I enjoyed shooting all the scenes. I filmed for an NHS information film and had to be filmed using the various facilities around the hospital. I gained some new insight into what it is like to be an actor i.e. how long scenes can take to film. I also gained confidence from the experience and feel it will help with my future bookings. I would recommend the experience to others as it was a useful and enjoyable experience. I would tell anyone looking to get into the talent industry to join an agency, which is a very useful move as well as maintaining a quality and up to date portfolio. I am always on Models Direct's websites and social media keeping an eye out for jobs as being proactive is important in order to obtain more work. I joined up with Models Direct to gain more experience and pursue my dream career as an actor and model, and they have really helped me to move forward in this field.

I have been extremely impressed with Models Direct as an Agency due to many factors. From the registration process with Heidi who actually had conversations with me and didn't make me feel like just a number to get on their books to pay the fee, but who I felt was completely genuine, watching their active and impressive social media postings (hoping one day I would be up there!), good luck wishes and well done posts and stories, to being active in looking for work for me from the beginning.
And then there's Gemma! Gemma has been an absolute pleasure to work with. She was so helpful in booking in my first job with Models Direct and was in regular contact, sending through booking information, promptly answered any queries that I had, helped me to feel at ease in the lead up, wished me luck on the day and then followed up after the shoot. Gemma really is a credit to the agency as she is professional, friendly, personable, positive, full of encouragement and very knowledgeable.
I am still smiling from ear to ear after the shoot yesterday as I couldn't have asked for a better first experience! My male model partner was a perfect match for me, and the photographers were so helpful, experienced, laid back, calming and such a pleasure to work with, we all enjoyed ourselves thoroughly and had such a laugh! The client was very accommodating also, looked after us very well and made us feel special.
I honestly can't thank Models Direct and Gemma enough and will always have the fondest memories of my first shoot!

Recently was asked to do a shoot for a local hospice, thoroughly enjoyed the experience, the hospice staff were extremely welcoming and supportive, the production team were very professional and were very attentive. I felt this was a really worthy cause !
All the other models were fantastic company while we waited for our relative shoots, and Gemma kept us informed of any changes and updates regarding the shoot, and thank you for that - fantastic agency.

I did my first assigment with three other women in a social media content with up and coming brand focused on women of colour.
Our segment was aimed at mature women and we were permitted to discus our various beauty regimes we use,and it's impact on our shades of black skin.
I had an absolutely fantastic first time speaking into" the fluffy mike" . Speaking my truth about my oily skin which some of us most own, and making it work for you.
Being photographed individually and as a group and speaking ,was a little nerve racking but was made to feel very comfortable by the all female cast that facilitated the shoot.
It has given me a little more confidence in performing in front of a camer
