Last month, Mark Langridge Photography, a firm that specialises in shooting creative images for businesses, as well as advertising, marketing and design agencies, came to Talent Management seeking models for its latest high profile client – the Fortune 500 pharmaceutical giant, Johnson & Johnson.

Multinational Johnson & Johnson were looking to set up a lifestyle shoot for its well known quit-smoking products brand, Nicorette, and the photographers at Mark Langridge were hired to take on the challenge.

The marketing images Mark Langridge shoots for are designed to be enticing, commercial and effective, and for that, they needed suitably fitting models.

The firm asked the model bookers here at Talent Management for attractive yet ‘real’ looking male and female models between the ages of 28 and 45, who have some experience in front of the camera.

Of course, with a diverse range of models based nationwide, Talent Management was able to provide a great selection of models that fit Johnson & Johnson’s requirements. Of the selection, 39 year old Lizzie, 33 year old Kate, and 36 year old Gareth were the lucky chosen ones.

On the day of the shoot, which was set up in a café in Berkshire, our models arrived on set in their requested smart casual outfits, with nails filed neatly for the close up product shots in the hand, ready to show Nicorette’s quit-smoking products ‘in action’.

Lizzie, whose talent fee for the shoot was an impressive £312.00, told us a little about how the job went: “I modelled for Johnson & Johnson for the day for their Nicorette brand. Although I have modelled before, I’m always quite nervous as you never know what to expect. The team were really friendly and professional and made sure we were looked after especially as we spent most of the day in a car with the windows open on a very windy day. I would definitely recommend Talent Management to others thinking of doing something different. Thanks so much for the experience.”

Kate, our other female model chosen, also had fun on the shoot: “I enjoyed being a model for the first time, it was fun. I don’t get nervous generally, so this was not a problem. I really enjoyed working with the 2 other models, who were great fun. We made each other laugh to keep our smiles genuine for the photoshoot, which was for a Johnson & Johnson quit smoking product. I also learnt some new modelling skills on the shoot, such as learning the correct positioning to avoid the product reflecting light. I initially joined up for extra cash as I am studying for my Masters. Joining a modelling agency like Talent Management makes it so much easier to find work as I am busy with my studies otherwise. Thanks Talent Management!”

Our male model of the day, Gareth, seemed to enjoy the experience just as much as the girls: “I would just like to say thank you Talent Management for the assignment, which was modelling quit smoking products for Johnson & Johnson. As always you were 100% with all your details and phone calls back to me. The day went well with the crew, who were all great and good to get on with, and we had an early finish!”

The team at Talent Management is happy that our models had such a great time – and at the same time get paid for it! Well done guys, we can’t wait to see the stills!
