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.

Today’s photo shoot went really well! The energy on set was great, and everything came together smoothly—from the lighting setup to the direction and overall flow.
I felt confident and comfortable, which really helped bring out the best in the shots. There were definitely a few standout moments where the creative vision really clicked. I’m excited to see the final edits and feel like we captured something special. Looking forward to the next one already!
I was honestly a bit nervous at first—those pre-shoot jitters definitely kicked in. But as soon as we got started, the team made me feel so relaxed and at home. Their energy was warm and supportive, and it really helped me settle in quickly. Before I knew it, I was fully in the zone and enjoying every moment.

What a fantastic time we had at a shoot for a supermarket collaboration. My daughter went with no experience and was guided and helped throughout the shots. Everyone was so friendly and kept me involved with what was happening next (I even got to see some of the wonderful photos being taken!).My mum was also asked to participate in some of the shots as my daughter’s grandparent and she was blown away by how lovely everyone was and kept saying what a great morning she had.Charlie from Models Direct was in contact by phone and email and was amazing also, before and after the shoot.

LUXURY PET CLOTHING AND ACCESSORIES
When I saw the advertisement from Models Direct for a dog model, our Sid sounded like he'd fit the bill! He had recently modelled in a local photo shoot for a clothing brand and he was the star of the show!The shoot we attended was for a London based dog clothing and accessories brand that are launching this September and needed some photos for the website and other relevant media. It helped when I was giving Sid commands so that he posed well, and he also got lots of treats for being good. He sat well for what they needed and fell asleep a few times on set - which was sometimes perfect for the image of the photo, but sometimes we did have to wake him up!As he is only five months we were a little worried about his reaction to trains, tubes and the business of London travelling in peak times but he was brilliant and even fell asleep a few times on the journey.The best part of the day for Sid was all the fuss and treats he was getting. He learnt a lot from the day and it did wonders for his training. It’s certainly made me more confident in taking him places and being able to trust his behaviour in different circumstances and environments.I would recommend to other puppy owners to do something like this because it’s excellent for socializing your pup and getting some lovely photos of them while they are still small!We would love to do more of these shoots and hope to build him a portfolio that will allow us to do so more often. It was a great experience for him so we would like to keep it going!
