Alongside another model from the company, we had an incredible shoot yesterday with Portsmouth City Council, promoting a new campaign for the local public transport system. The photographer and organiser were so friendly and easy to work with which resulted in a much more comfortable environment in which we all cooperated really well, finishing the two hour job ahead of schedule.

My 11 year old Daughter Chloe had an amazing photo shoot for Aviva last week. She had an awesome time and everyone there made her feel very welcome and she was comfortable straight away. The communication with Models Direct was perfect from beginning to end, Charlie and Justine kept us up to date with information and checked in with us before and after the shoot, they were amazing. Chloe was buzzing after and she cannot wait to do more work. What a fab experience for Chloe for her first photo shoot. Thank you.

I had a fun time whilst shooting with Models Direct. This is due to the easy going approach that they took. As a team, we went with the flow and every shot felt natural and the assistant also supported me and suggested different poses to try. They even provided both food and drink and made sure that I was comfortable with everything that we were doing. After shooting inside the youth hostel, the Photographer suggested that we go outside and experiment with different poses around Covent Garden which was very exciting to do too. On the other hand, they contacted me rather late; being on the day of the shoot, leaving me having to rush to make it on time. Overall, I would say that it was a very fun experience and I did not feel judged or over pressured. I would recommend Model’s Direct!

I was really excited to get the call from Molly and was looking forward to being a model for the day and gaining experience as this was my first time. The 3 men that met us at location were very nice, friendly, especially the photographer who made me feel at ease straight away. We shot various pictures around the Campus, wearing their tshirts, lanyards and sun glasses and had great fun with the other model Ryan. It was nice because it was his first job too so we were just as nervous as each other but no need to be as I feel at home once the camera is clicking! Thankyou for putting me forward for this job and I hope I have many more to look forward to. I have attached some pics of the day.

I attended my very first assignment today which was a small acting part in a training video for Motability Recovery. I was sent through the script and full, clear instructions of the shoot, what to wear, who the other actors and crew were in plenty of time. Everybody at the shoot and the client was really nice to me and made me feel relaxed especially as it was my first assignment. They even altered the script to suit me better. I can't wait for my next assignment as I very much enjoyed the atmosphere.

"Had a really fun day, spent all day shooting for Bluewater on the ice rink. Amazing people and everyone was so professional. Can't wait to do it all again! Waking up at 3 in the morning to catch the bus just to find out it has been delayed! Ended up being 40 minutes late but everyone made me feel welcome and not to worry about it. Went for a walk over to Topshop to find out our outfits! Loved the styles of the outfits I was given. Made me open my eyes and go for colours I wouldn't usually go for. The ice rink itself was such fun to skate on, with the Christmas tree in the middle making it an amazing background."

Bridal photoshoot - I had an amazing experience with working with Models Direct. I was involved with the Brides do good photoshoot, and as well as the shoot being for a good cause (to send proceeds towards ending child marriages) it was also very fun. I feel that through this shoot Models Direct has equipped me with some necessary experience to help me progress in my modelling. Overall, a fun first photo shoot!

This was my first promo event with Models Direct. I was the Easter Bunny for St Marks Shopping Centre in Lincoln. I made my way to the meeting point and the Centre Manager was there to meet me. The costume was in place as described by the Models Direct representative and after some introductions, myself and another model got ready to go out and meet our public. With my basket full of Creme Eggs, I hopped off around the Centre. It was fun being able to put a smile on so many faces, especially young children, who were in awe of the Easter Bunny. After the event, Marie form Models Direct contacted me again to check that all went well, ensuring that I enjoyed the event and kept me briefed about what would happen next. I thoroughly enjoyed my first promo event and look forward to more.

This was my first promotional event with Models Direct which took place at St. Mark's Shopping Centre in Lincoln. Navigating the event was very easy thanks to Marie, Principle Agent at Models Direct, who gave me all the relevant information for me to get the most out of this opportunity. The other model and I worked very well together promoting the shopping centre and handing out Easter eggs to young children, which was very rewarding. After this experience, I am very eager to take part in more events and would definitely recommend Models Direct.

I had a great time on Saturday at Ciroc on Arrival at The Liquorist in Southampton and was surrounded with good staff and a great team. It was a interesting event as I had never done this sort of work before but found it to be a relaxed evening and had fun with the clubbers.
We had started our journey around 6am knowing it would take 2 hours we arrived on time with two very excited children and 2 nervous but excited parents. We were put at easy instantly when meeting our photographer and the two other models from Models Direct. We went and had a quick meeting about what photos we were trying to achieve and quick change we were ready to go. The children were super excited about doing the shoot in such a a massive super store and loved that people were watching, the photographer was giving us great direction and was amazing at making us feel at easy. Always telling the kids they were doing a fab job . This was the first time we had met with other models from the company and they were brilliant so funny and talkative, the shoot went so well and the photos were just as the brief asked. We can't wait till the end of March for our follow up shoot and working with Models Direct we have done a total of 5 modelling shoots now and have always enjoyed our experience and making memories with our beautiful family.

When I arrived, we were met by one of the guys that took us up to Rob, who was the manger director of digital health, who introduced me to the couple of people who were running the event. I was very pleased with the way it was organised and I took instruction well. They showed me the results on the laptop which they were very pleased with for their website. I really enjoyed the experience for my first assignment, and hope for many more.
