Modelling jobs and more...

I took Logan who is 18 months old to Weybourne Beach to model clothes for the Next winter catalogue. He had a great time playing with the other children and being on the beach. He had to get changed into the clothes that were provided and then we went down closer to the water with a boat and some cliffs in the background and Logan had his photo taken. The photographer and crew were very friendly and Logan loved them! He had his hair trimmed by the hairdresser which was done perfectly and made him look really grown up. I think the most enjoyable part of the assignment for Logan was being on the beach playing with the pebbles and being around the other children. This was Logan's second assignment though Models Direct so he is gaining experience in front of the camera. I would definitely advise people to join this agency as everyone is so friendly and helpful and it is a great experience going out there and getting dressed up to have your photo taken for a big brand. I originally decided to join Logan up with Models Direct as he has a very distinctive look as he has a big afro so I thought it would be nice to try and show all his hair off and get him into something like this. Before this assignment I hadn't updated Logan's e-portfolio for a while, but I will definitely start updating it more regularly again now! Thank you, Elishia

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!

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!
Date of experience: 20 May 2025

On the day of my photo shoot I was a bit nervous as it was my first time but I was also really excited and eager to get started the company I worked with were really friendly and welcoming they were constantly making sure I was always alright throughout the day they provided us with meals refreshments and anything else we may have needed we started off the day getting acquainted with everyone on the team e.g(camerman ,directors ,videographer and the other models ) we then moved to a few different locations where we would take the photos the cameraman was very nice and helpful he gave clear instructions and directions as to what poses and facial expressions to make throughout the photoshoot we would take regular breaks with refreshments provided majority of the photos taken were solo but there were some group photos the company/cameraman made sure we were comfortable at all times which was very reassuring. The experience I had was extremely fun as it was easy to get along with everyone there. Before the final photoshoot we went to dinner at a restaurant and had an enjoyable time which made the experience that much more fun .I would personally say that this is similar to what I expected because overall it was a photoshoot but I didn’t expect to have such a great time and a thrilling two days . To sum it all up I had an amazing experience for my first photoshoot the people I worked with were great I was extremely happy with the way I was treated and is something I would most definitely like to do again
