RAVER STYLING Being picked to do an assignment in the first place makes you feel great! The best thing about the assignment were the crazy raver-style outfits we were wearing. They were eye catching and certainly stuck us out from the crowd! Me and one other girl were asked to advertise their rally day bye giving out leaflets, chatting to people and having our photos taken with people.

THRILLS The thrill of my first assignment was so great, and it was an enjoyable experience. The people that I worked for were very friendly and made me really welcome. I was asked to try on different outfits and then go in to a different room and model the outfits one by one. If your thinking of being a model, do it! The trill of your first assignment is amazing and the people are so friendly, after actually doing the assignment you don't know why you were so nervous at the beginning.

FOLLOWING DREAMS I feel very pleased that I completed this assignment, i really enjoyed it. I felt great to be a model, its something I've always wanted to do. The assignment went well; the clients made you feel comfortable and they made you fit in. It was also great to have my photo taken and knowing so many different people have my photo. I was asked to promote MCE by handing out cards and walking around the show. I also had to have my photo taken with people who requested one with a model. If your thinking of modelling I would say follow your dreams all the way, everyone can make it. Models Direct were very helpful.

The assignment was an enjoyable one. The best thing was being in front of the camera professionally & also being part of a very friendly team. Models Direct have been very helpful. I was asked to do many different facial shots in a variety of clothes in front of coloured backgrounds. I had to adapt myself to show different levels of emotions. Some thing I would say to someone thinking of being a model is try it, its a great experience to see how these things are done. Models Direct have been very helpful with this assignment and any questions I have asked have been more than adequately dealt with.

The Joico hair show was really exciting, and such a great experience. I was nervous about having my hair cut and coloured at first but once they started doing it, i loved what they had done. The catwalk show was amazing and was such a good experience. The two days that i spent there was really good and most importantly i had fun.

I enjoyed this experience because it was new and exciting, I was able to work with children of all ages. I found it interesting the way they used different ages ranges in the same project. I had a lot of fun while taking the photos and David was very helpful in transporting us back to the train station. I look forward to more work with models direct.

We arrived early but were made to feel very welcome. We were briefed on the nature of the photo shoot and expectations, etc. Aman had some individual shots taken, we then went onto a local park where group and individual shots were taken. Everybody was very friendly especially David and the photographer Steve. Aman had a great time at his first photo shoot and can't wait to do it again. Also David said that we would be able to view the pictures either through you or by contacting him, could you let us know maybe we could then add these to his profile? Look forward to hearing from you.

I really enjoyed the shoot. The people there made me feel really comfortable and relaxed. I was a little nervous at first but when the camera was in front of me I just got into it and had some fun.When we arrived there we entered a small waiting room with another model (Leanne) and her mother. It was their first time too and they were really friendly. It was a pleasure working with her and the rest of the models. Then I was called upstairs and I had my individual shot taken. I was a little bit nervous at first but then just let loose. Then when that was over we headed to the park. At the park there was a little skate ramp. We all had our group photo taken there. Then After that we went to this little shed thing at the park and had another group shot taken there. Then we had another individual photo taken. I was one of the last to go and everyone was having about 15 photos taken to get the right shot and then it was my turn. I only had 3 taken and he said perfect and I was like "Oh My God, that was quick". Aha. I really enjoyed the experience and I hope I get another opportunity to do it again. I Love Modelling and I hope it can play a big part in my future.

I completed my first modelling assignment for Models Direct on a photo shoot for South Western Railways. Everyone met under the clock at Waterloo Station. We all then boarded a train to Southampton and Basingstoke. En route photos were taken and from then on until we arrived back at Waterloo in the afternoon. From start to finish I had a brilliant day, plenty of fun and really enjoyed working with such friendly, very nice, and extremely professional people. I got on great with John the Photographer and Alice and Gary the directors. They seemed very pleased with my contribution to the day. Many Thanks

Both days went well Saturday was lovely, was a nice chance to be out making the most of the nice weather and Sarah the girl i was with was really nice and easy to get along with which made the day go a lot faster, even with sore feet! Sunday was pretty good too, when i went in at 10 i was told they'd had some interested in one of the flats we were advertising in the leaflets, and one couple wanted to buy which was encouraging and made it seem more worthwhile to get on and hand out some more leaflets even though it was raining that morning! The lady there, i think her name was Hilary, was really friendly and relaxed which was nice and they took a few photos on the Saturday which was cool too. So overall, a great weekend for my first experience doing promo work, i'm and i'm glad to have been offered the chance and look forward to what's thrown my way next!
"Yesterday's assignment was my first one, so I was obviously slightly nervous to say the least. I had however, nothing to worry about as Jacqui and the team were so down to earth and made me feel relaxed right from the beginning. I thank them for their professionalism, kindness and patience. It was great to be part of their team, and also knowing that it was for a good cause was an added bonus. It was a great way to spend the afternoon and I was buzzing when I had finished!"
"I am pleased to advise that the assignment yesterday was very well organized, professional and comfortable. The atmosphere was relaxed and friendly. Malcolm and the Active Images representatives, Alan & Alistair were very supportive, fair, patient and aware of all the crowd present - they took time out to make the effort to talk to everyone and generally put people at their ease. Overall a good, professional and fun day’s work. Thank you and best regards."
"Just to thank you for putting Mollie forward for her first assignment which she thoroughly enjoyed (despite discovering today that she had a chest infection all along)! It was for Barclays promoting their Spaces for Sports, a 3 yr regeneration programme for sporting facilities all over the country. Shots were taken while the models re-enacted all types of sport. Mollie showed very willing and put her hand to everything, she really enjoyed the rugby and hockey, including the Johnny Wilkinson pose. She interacted well with everyone and I got the sense that the agents / photographer found her full of character as they were always talking to her and jesting and having a bit of banter. Paul the photographer said he thought she was 'fantastic' and Malcolm (PR for Barclays) stated on day two that 'she would probably be the star of the show again'! They loved the way she was able to just switch on the best smile and found her really humorous. They even used her as the ref in a football shot against two men one of whom she had to send off. I feel it all went very well indeed and know for a fact that Mollie really enjoyed it. I think she is greatly suited to modelling and am confident she will receive good feedback from Action Images / Barclays and hope that you will use this to put her forward for more jobs as she is also keen to do more. Many thanks once again."

"I Really enjoyed the shoot on Friday for the Bliss Magazine, I was very nervous at first though! The other girls modelling had done quite a few shoots before so they were quite confident. The first outfit I had to wear was an awful white suit and black shirt, but I really enjoyed myself when we were doing the shoot. Thank you for all your help and time."
