One of our female models, 35 year old Elena, has been modelling for Models Direct since 2009. Not only has this highly professional model bagged a total of nine jobs so far and received great feedback from her clients, but she’s also provided some fantastic feedback of her own on her personal blog.

Yesterday, after completing her latest modelling gig for luxury bedding, clothing and home accessories chain The White Company, she published the following on her very own WordPress site: “I started a new modelling job with the White Company yesterday. It’s great fun. I get to travel to beautiful places like Tunbridge Wells, a charming relaxed posh town only an hour away from Charing Cross, London, by train. I also get to wear lots of the White Company’s comfy warm clothes. Their shops are great places to work in, especially for me as I am absolutely crazy about white. There is something electrifying and energizing about that colour (well, technically a non-colour, but never mind).

“I feel very grateful to Models Direct. It feels so easy to work for a highly professional modelling agency that looks after me like my parents used to do… I miss that now. Katie is the best modelling agent to have: she is prompt, lovely and savvy. She keeps me informed about the job I am about to do. She simply makes me feel at ease with my task. I am looking forward to the other three assignments in Marlow, Brighton and London next week. I have a feeling I might end up buying the grey wool and cashmere Poncho I got to wear on the catwalk. I just love it!”

Back in November last year, Elena also wrote about another of her modelling assignments with Models Direct that involved a photoshoot for a product called SpaTone by Nelsons: “It was fun. Easy work when everyone knows what they are doing. Lovely photographer, who promised to send me a few of the photos he took of me today… Really nice, relaxed but equally focused ladies representing Nelsons; the company that this advertising material was created for. I had to just sit in front of the camera, lit by many bright lights, smile, be myself and be receptive to the little adjustments I had to do on the way. It was a lovely, creative environment. We were all happy with the results of our work and finished everything an hour and a bit earlier than scheduled. Great way of starting the week. And certainly great way of beating the lousy weather.

“Oh, the product I advertised is called SpaTone and is great for women. It is a 100 per cent natural liquid iron supplement that comes in sachets you can take by themselves or with a bit of juice, if you cannot stand the metallic taste it has… The one I drank today in the photoshoot was a new improved version with apple juice in it, so you simply open the sachet and drink it in a blink. And so since iron is hard to absorb from food in the quantity that our body needs daily, well, I guess, it is something to consider if the level of Iron in your body is low. I was given a box of these sachets, so I will start taking them and promise to let you know when I notice the difference…

“Also, thanks to Katie (Models Direct) for looking after me today. It feels great to know that someone out there looks out for you and makes sure you reach your destination.  I am looking forward to new assignments like this one.”

We love the fact that Elena has blogged about her modelling experiences with us – self promotion like this, as well and getting yourself on Facebook and Twitter, is a fantastic way to boost your profile and get you noticed in the modelling industry. Well done Elena and keep up the blogging!
