Modelling jobs and more...

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

First Family Shoot
We had such an amazing time on our very first family modelling shoot at Woolacombe Bay Holiday Park. The day was packed with fun – from swimming and water slides to the wave surfer, adventure golf, the restaurant and even the beach. It didn’t feel like “work” at all, just a really fun day together as a family.
Kevin and Guy were brilliant – so easy to get along with, very professional and made us feel comfortable straight away. They guided us through everything step by step which really helped, especially as it was all new to us.
A huge thank you to Gemma too – she was incredible from start to finish. She kept in touch the whole way through, always quick to reply to our questions, and just so friendly and reassuring. She made the whole process smooth and stress-free, which meant we could just relax and enjoy the experience.
Thank you Models Direct for such a brilliant opportunity – we had a blast and would love to do it again!

Useful DayToday was a transformative experience.
Not only did I learn more about Crohn’s disease and colitis, but I also had the privilege of meeting extraordinary individuals who inspired me with their strength.
The professionalism of the crew, along with the incredible work of Gemma, made the entire process even more memorable.
I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such an important project and to contribute in some way to sharing the stories of those living with these conditions.
Date of experience: 21 February 2025

This was my first time doing something like this, and it was simply so much fun.
The team was lovely and helpful in giving me directions on how to approach the shoot and where they wanted me to go.
I had so much fun on the shoot, and it was a learning curve and experience.
