Modelling jobs and more...

Fantastic first family modelling experienceWe recently had our first experience of modelling as a family via Models Direct. It was a really fun and comfortable experience. Our agent Gemma was really friendly, caring, communicative and available. She gave us plenty of information to prepare with and answered our questions before the shoot. It was a full day shoot (8hrs) involving different activities to advertise a holiday venue in the UK. We had part of our travel expenses covered and received one night's accommodation on set.At the shoot, we worked directly with a representative from the company organising the shoot and three photographers. They were all really professional, friendly and kind with our children which made us all feel relaxed and happy. The staff at the location were also fantastic, making sure we had plenty of food and water through the day. My two children really enjoyed the shoot. They loved all of the activities they were asked to carry out (football, swimming, enjoying meals, arcade games) and the respect and kindness they were shown. We also thoroughly enjoyed the experience and were really grateful to everyone for making it a smooth one.

Great experience!The agency was very professional with good engagement and comprehensive information in the run up to the shoot.
The day itself was enjoyable, well run and I met some delightful people.

Well organised and great communication
Models Direct are super to deal with, keeping in touch regularly and ensuring everything is in order, both before and after the shoot.
I had a great filming day with a fab team from IMA, who were welcoming and well organised.
I was needed a number of times during the day for stills and video, so I'm glad I took a book to read for the in-between moments.
As I left the venue, the Creative Director spontaneously asked everyone to give me a round of applause, which was lovely!

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
