Modelling jobs and more...

I recently had the opportunity to work with Models Direct for a project with Monopoly, and it was an incredible experience. From start to finish, the team was professional and supportive, making me feel welcome and valued. The atmosphere was energetic and creative, which added to the excitement of being part of such an iconic brand. Throughout the process, I learned so much about the modeling industry, including how to pose effectively and the importance of teamwork on set. The guidance from the directors and fellow models was invaluable, helping me to grow my skills and confidence. I truly appreciated the emphasis on creativity and collaboration, which made every moment enjoyable. Overall, my experience with Models Direct has been one of the highlights of my career. I left the project feeling inspired and eager to pursue more opportunities in the modeling world. I highly recommend Models Direct to anyone looking to embark on a fun and enriching journey in modeling!

1st timeI’d like to start by expressing my genuine appreciation for finally being given the opportunity to take part in the recent commercial shoot for Greene King at Cheadle Hulme. This was my first modeling experience with Models Direct since joining back in 2023, and overall, the day itself was incredibly fulfilling. I thoroughly enjoyed being part of a vibrant set, meeting new people, and contributing to scenes I didn’t expect to be involved in — it truly gave me a glimpse into the potential of what this career could be.
That said, I do feel it’s important to share some honest feedback regarding the process leading up to this point. While I’m grateful for the experience, I can’t ignore the fact that it’s taken nearly three years to receive my first assignment. During this time, I’ve seen others come on board and secure shoots within a couple of months, which has been difficult to witness as someone who’s been committed to the journey since 2023.
I understand that opportunities in this industry can be unpredictable, and that sometimes it’s about timing and fit. However, the wait has been disheartening at times, especially without consistent communication or clarity on how I could have improved my chances. I say this not out of complaint, but out of a sincere desire to be considered more actively moving forward.
The shoot reminded me how much I enjoy this space, and I hope this can be the beginning of more regular opportunities. I’m committed, adaptable, and ready to bring more energy and professionalism to future assignments.
Thank you again for the opportunity — I just hope it won’t take another three years for the next one.

What a great experience we have just had as a family. Superb organisation right from the very beginning by Gemma @ Models Direct.
Gemma was very supportive and communicative all the way through and everyone involved with the shoot was extremely professional, friendly and made the experience a very enjoyable one.
The shoot was at a Holiday park and we got to experience many aspects of the parks facilities including water slides, restaurant, cinema and even their wave surfer!
All was explained to us before the day and any changes enforced by the weather was communicated with us fully so we always knew what we were doing next.
Great experience. Thank you again for all of the support.

Today was my very first ad shoot, and I have to say, it was an exciting, fun-filled, and eye-opening experience.
From the moment I arrived at the studio, there was a buzz of energy in the air. The team was welcoming, and everyone seemed to be in their zone, preparing for what would turn out to be an unforgettable day. As we got started with the first few shots, I was amazed at how many people were behind the scenes, coordinating everything to perfection. The lighting, camera angles, and even the smallest details were all being adjusted to ensure the best results.
It was fascinating to see all the effort that goes into creating a perfect shot. While I expected there to be a lot of waiting around and setting up, the team made it smooth and fun with music, laughter, and light conversation. By midday, I felt like I had settled into my role and was having a blast.
It was not just about posing; it was about feeling the moment and connecting with the camera. I definitely felt more comfortable as the day went on, and there were several moments where I genuinely enjoyed being in front of the camera.
I would also thank my agent, Charlie, for her constand and prompt response to every query I had and in making this process as smooth and memorable as possible for me. In short, my first ad shoot was a thrilling experience. It was everything I hoped for and more, and I can’t wait to do it again!
