A couple of weeks ago, the team at Talent Management congratulated 2 of our Norwich-based models, 23-year-old Tom and 26-year-old Victoria, when they were booked in for a 2-hour photoshoot in Norfolk.

The shoot was with local photographer David Burton at one of the world’s leading crop science companies, Bayer Crop Science – which we’re sure you’ll agree is not your average shoot location!

David chose our models for their smart, professional look requiring them to pose as professional business associates, scientists and onsite workers in shots that will be used on an online library for editorial stock images.

In some shots, our models had to wear goggles, hardhats and reflective jackets, while others saw them in typical business attire posing as though they were in a meeting.

For our male model Tom, this was his second assignment with the agency in the space of 4 weeks. Here’s what he had to say about his latest job: “Once again it was a very enjoyable experience and I felt my previous Models Direct shoot helped me to know what to expect. The client was very friendly and helped us enjoy the experience. The assignment took place at the BayerCrop Science facility in Norwich and we were asked to wear fluorescent jackets, safety goggles and hard-hats for the shoot. There were various photographs at different areas around the plant, taken for what will eventually be a stock catalogue. A very enjoyable day on the whole.”

Victoria had an equally good time, and told us after the job: “The day was fantastic; we had a very sunny day and it was a different type of modelling from what I do usually. I really enjoyed working with a new photographer and having a new experience working in a laboratory setting. The assignment involved posing as a scientist in a chemical factory. I would recommend modelling to anyone, but I think it’s important to keep your e-portfolio updated as customers are always looking for fresh shots. I joined Models Direct to try some different types of modelling and already have dome something different!”

Well done to both our models, who seem to have done a great job looking at a few of the final images we received from the photographer this morning! Check them out below and let us know what you think of Tom and Victoria’s modelling efforts!
