Modelling jobs and more...

I had an all day shoot yesterday with a national pub chain via Models Direct and I had an amazing experience.
I took part in several photo and video materials being produced throughout the day amongst 14 other models.
It was fun and engaging. Everything was of course very smoothly organised by Models Direct, which means I could just concentrate on enjoying the shoot.
The team were such a pleasure to work with, they carefully directed all of the scenes and models.
We all had a meal at lunch break and it was overall a great elpetricence.

AN EXPERIENCE TO REMEMBER
I personally joined Models Direct as I have always wanted to do modelling. This was my first modelling assignment and it is something I would definitely like to do again.I was really nervous to begin, but all the staff were very welcoming and made my time there enjoyable. The best part of the assignment was being able to try different clothes on while the stylist decided what looked best. The assignment was based on mother/daughter relationships which involved me having an informal interview over the phone answering questions about my mum, before travelling to the studio in London. There I had clothes chosen, a hair and make-up stylist and then a photo shoot.I gained confidence in this shoot, thanks to the welcoming staff, and gained the skills of posing in front of the camera, and socialising in a different environment. I would definitely recommend this to others - everyone enjoys a bit of pampering and this is exactly what happened! The whole day was informal and friendly and it was an experience to remember, especially having everything done for you.

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!

Shoot with the British Red Cross
Had my first shoot booked with models direct yesterday for the British Red Cross. Had an amazing experience from start to finish.
Gemma was amazing at helping get me all the information, arranging access for my wheelchair and was such a lovely helpful person to talk to. She really set my mind at ease.
The shoot itself was amazing and all the other models, the co-ordinator, photographer and make up artist were so kind and fun to work with.
Was great fun and can’t wait to do another shoot with models direct soon.
Date of experience: 16 July 2025
