“As this was my first assignment, I was both nervous and excited, also worried about whether I’d brought suitable outfits to wear. I was photographed in a holiday park with the other 2 models, doing various holiday activities for a brochure- relaxing with a drink, cycling, and walking hand in hand with my ‘model’ husband barefoot along the beach with a dog. The weather was glorious, and I was soon relaxing and enjoying the whole experience. The cameraman put us at our ease and the other 2 models, Herb and Marc, were very easy to get on with. I joined Models Direct as I wanted to try something completely different from my office job, having taken early retirement. I definitely want to do some more assignments, and it has given me more confidence. Thanks to Talent Management for the opportunity to try something new, meet interesting people and have fun.”
