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!

Useful DayToday was a transformative experience.
Not only did I learn more about Crohn’s disease and colitis, but I also had the privilege of meeting extraordinary individuals who inspired me with their strength.
The professionalism of the crew, along with the incredible work of Gemma, made the entire process even more memorable.
I am truly grateful for the opportunity to be a part of such an important project and to contribute in some way to sharing the stories of those living with these conditions.

PLAYING A UNIVERSITY STUDENT
I was very nervous beforehand as this was my first job, but it was a very enjoyable experience. There was a lot of waiting around but the actual shoot was really fun. I had to act as a university student who had built a solar car with two other Models Direct models. The team were very helpful and nice and it was a great experience - it has definitely made me feel more confident to do further jobs. I decided to choose this agency as it gave me a wider choice of work, not just modelling, but also dancing and performing.

Had a great time at my shoot.
Gemma from models direct spoke with me a few times before so I knew exactly what was expected of me and also followed this up with an email.
The shoot was extremely professional and a lot of fun.
Thank you so much!

AN EXPERIENCE TO REMEMBER
I personally joined Models Direct as I have always wanted to do modelling. This was my first modelling assignment and it is something I would definitely like to do again.I was really nervous to begin, but all the staff were very welcoming and made my time there enjoyable. The best part of the assignment was being able to try different clothes on while the stylist decided what looked best. The assignment was based on mother/daughter relationships which involved me having an informal interview over the phone answering questions about my mum, before travelling to the studio in London. There I had clothes chosen, a hair and make-up stylist and then a photo shoot.I gained confidence in this shoot, thanks to the welcoming staff, and gained the skills of posing in front of the camera, and socialising in a different environment. I would definitely recommend this to others - everyone enjoys a bit of pampering and this is exactly what happened! The whole day was informal and friendly and it was an experience to remember, especially having everything done for you.

CLIMBING IN CONFIDENCE
The assignment Models Direct sent me on with the National Trust was really good fun but I was very nervous because I wasn’t quite sure what to expect. In this modelling shoot I had to overcome my fear of heights as we were asked to climb a tree for the photos! But the photographer was nice and helped a lot. The tree was easy to climb, there were five of us in the tree and we had lots of pictures taken in different poses. In the end I enjoyed climbing and got more confident as I climbed higher and higher. I think everyone should climb trees because this was what the National Trust says is good for us. I would say that being a model is a great way of doing new things and learning new stuff. If you want to be a model you should join an agency and try to keep your e-portfolio up to date. I did this for the experience and have enjoyed my work as a model.

Had a great day today with easyjet and the guys and girls with us both models and the back-up crew were all lovely! Was a fun day although tiring and I can't wait for the next assignment now!! think it all went well and the agency seem to think we got some great pictures to be used in the PR promotion. We were promoting the new easyjet credit card style for speedy boarding plus and traveller details on a chipped card. Generally showing us moving through the queues/check-in desks etc and through the airport in both business style and casual wear. all great fun and much interest from other airport users and Easyjet staff!! It was really cool being a bit of a star for the day!

The client and the other model were lovely and I really enjoyed the morning.
We did have a giggle pretending to be patients for the morning! Hopefully there are some great shots for the new website.
The Models Direct manager who prepared me for the shoot was very knowledgeable and helpful.
Looking forward to the next one!

Greene King Sport’s Six Nations.
Great experience - The whole experience from getting the email from Models Direct (Gemma), followed by a phone call with details on the location for the Greene King shoot was perfect. The day itself went really smooth. It was great to meet and talk to other people who were there for the shoot. Overall, we were really well looked after, with food and drink. The staff shooting and location staff were very helpful and supportive with a lot of positive encouragement.
Thank you Models Direct and Gemma.
