I had the pleasure of participating in a shoot today, and I wanted to share my experience. The day began with a warm welcome at reception, where I enjoyed a refreshing cup before heading to the set. There, I met Chris Golding, whose exuberance whose and detailed briefing set the tone for the day. His perspective in the country setting and clear outline of the project were both engaging and informative.
Caitlin, one of the key team members then arrived, while others assumed their roles. I was particularly struck by the fact that two of the carers featured were real-life community staff. Their soothing presence and dedication brought a genuine energy which was infectious.
The photographer’s expertise was exceptional, with some great lighting and angles for every scene. The shoot was a pleasure, thanks to the variety of backdrops—kitchen, living room, bedroom, garden, and market—each thoughtfully scouted. Some scenes were bathed in soft pastel hues, while others, like the riverside walk, were beautifully dappled, creating a joyful atmosphere. The focused nature of the work yet on such a pleasant day was disciplining.
The shoot balanced the challenge of portraying the emotional weight of separation with the need to make the living accommodation accessible and appealing. Having experienced loss myself last year, I found the sensitivity with which this was handled quite moving.
Thank you for the opportunity to be part of it and I look forward to future collaborations.
Best regards, David Dean

Tuesday turned out to be an amazing day! 7.30am saw myself and two other models along with film crew in Battersea Park to shoot an advertisement feature for Birra Moretti promoting a new venture into catering. There were three vintage Fiat 500s along with their owners and the morning saw us being filmed supposedly delivering ingredients to private homes to create food for a dinner party. The highlight of this was being driven backwards and forwards over Albert bridge weaving in and out of the traffic to enable the camera crew to get the shots they needed!! We then moved to a private house to be filmed delivering ingredients and then cooking a meal. It was a fun filled afternoon with much laughter - the video and camera men were brilliant at setting up the shots they needed and so helpful in their directions. The makeup lady ensured we looked our best and supplies of refreshments were readily available when needed. As usual Molly had given clear instructions regarding requirements for the assignment - thank you Models Direct for a memorable day.

We had a great experience and Gemma was supportive throughoutWe had a fantastic experience with Models Direct from start to finish. Gemma organised everything so well for our family shoot at the caravan park, and the whole process was smooth, professional, and completely stress free. Communication was excellent throughout, and we always felt well informed and looked after from the moment we were contacted.The shoot day itself was such a lovely experience for me, my partner, and our little boy Logan. Everyone involved was friendly, welcoming, and very professional, which made us all feel relaxed and comfortable straight away. Logan was made to feel really included, and the team were so patient and understanding, which made a huge difference and allowed the day to flow naturally.Everything was very well organised, from timings to the overall setup, and the atmosphere was relaxed while still being professional. We never felt rushed or pressured, and the team made the experience genuinely enjoyable for all of us. It was lovely being able to take part together as a family and create such positive memories along the way.A huge thank you to Gemma for all of her help, support, and organisation throughout the entire process. She was approachable, helpful, and always quick to answer any questions we had. We’re so grateful for the opportunity and would highly recommend Models Direct to anyone considering family modelling or lifestyle shoots. A truly positive experience from beginning to end.
