Models Direct Reviews - From our Female Models

Had a great experience at my first shoot with Models Direct!

Instructions were clear and I felt well looked after. Everyone on set were super friendly, and it was nice getting to know other models coming from all walks of life.

Overall a great experience and looking forward to any other potential opportunities with them in the future.

The Anchor representative and photographer were very patient, friendly and understanding. As a result my late attendance, due to a transport issue, was bearable. T

he day was made enjoyable by the company of my fellow models and the staff at the centre.

Thanks 

I thoroughly enjoyed this assignment, which was my first ever.

There was such a nice vibe! I loved working with my colleagues and the lovely photographer, who put us all at our ease. Daniel was very kind and helpful and I just felt marvellous. It was freezing cold and the outdoor shots were hard on those who hadn't brought gloves, but it was great fun. We also had a lovely lunch, which was a really nice bonus!

I'd love to do more of this kind of work in the future..

I was very well supported all of the way by Charlie, Models Direct’s booking agent. She was able to answer all of my questions and was extremely reassuring, given this was my first assignment, ever.

She made regular contact prior to the assignment and followed up afterwards with all the feedback I was looking for.

I cannot wait to work with Models Direct again.

It was lovely to do another modelling assignment for Models Direct.

I got to meet other amazing models in a relaxed environment. Everyone got on really well and we were made to feel at ease.

The shoot was for a well known pub chain and the day went smoothly as we were given clear directions on what to do.

I’m looking forward to my next assignment.

Hi

I attended my 1st assignment for Models Direct yesterday with Greene King as an extra.

I had losts of support and encouragement from models direct.

I over thought my wardrobe but did take other outfits so was able to read the vibe of the room and change accordingly.

I really enjoyed the experience in seeing how a video production works and chatting to other models.

After much waiting I finally played a background scene astanding and chatting it was great fun coming up with conversation topics and expressing in a joyful way.
Overall I very much enjoyed the day and a big thanks to all at Models Direct, the production team, staff at Greene King and of course all the other models that I worked with that made me feel welcome

Another great shoot for the Six Nations.

I enjoyed the day and was great Fun!

Thanks 

It was a great experience to participate in the presentation, the teams were very friendly, engaging and organised. We had to wait a bit for the start of the shooting but overall it was fantastic to be involved in the project!

Thank you! xx

Today was my very first ad shoot, and I have to say, it was an exciting, fun-filled, and eye-opening experience.

From the moment I arrived at the studio, there was a buzz of energy in the air. The team was welcoming, and everyone seemed to be in their zone, preparing for what would turn out to be an unforgettable day. As we got started with the first few shots, I was amazed at how many people were behind the scenes, coordinating everything to perfection. The lighting, camera angles, and even the smallest details were all being adjusted to ensure the best results.

It was fascinating to see all the effort that goes into creating a perfect shot. While I expected there to be a lot of waiting around and setting up, the team made it smooth and fun with music, laughter, and light conversation. By midday, I felt like I had settled into my role and was having a blast.

It was not just about posing; it was about feeling the moment and connecting with the camera. I definitely felt more comfortable as the day went on, and there were several moments where I genuinely enjoyed being in front of the camera.

I would also thank my agent, Charlie, for her constand and prompt response to every query I had and in making this process as smooth and memorable as possible for me. In short, my first ad shoot was a thrilling experience. It was everything I hoped for and more, and I can’t wait to do it again!

It was my first assignment for me from models direct and I enjoyed every minute.

New experience from the camaraderie from my new colleagues to the profesionalism of the crew.

A lovely day and a lovely experience

I really enjoyed my photoshoot for a campaign booked through Models Direct. 

Charlie was great at providing me with the info and making my booking smooth. The photoshoot was fun and professional.

I really enjoyed the assignment and hope for many more through Models Direct.

Thank you for all the support!

What a great cause

Hi, I want to say first of all how helpful, enthusiastic and supportive Gemma was at every stage of my experience modelling so successfully once again for Models Direct.

I was glad to do it for such a good cause too - Alzheimer's Research UK and found it a very interesting and eye opening experience.

The crew I worked with were all really lovely people. I found them welcoming, warm and they offered very helpful guidance and positive feedback throughout the process. I could see how passionate they were about Alzheimer's UK. My partner for the day was very pleasant and we got on well.

All in all an excellent experience. I'm very happy to have been selected for the shoot.

Everyone we worked with today was really welcoming.

They made myself and my little one feel at ease.

Direction was clear on what we needed to do and my 3 year old took to what was being asked of him quite well and with all members that was there with him. They told me that for a 3 year old and his first time shooting, he had done very well, which was great and reassuring to hear. Also hearing directly from the photographer that we had taken the visual shot that he was hoping for, was a very awesome feeling.

This shoot has a very moving concept and myself and my little one feel privileged to have been chosen to be a part of it. The additional unexpected gifts that were given to my little one at the end of the shoot was really kind of everyone and it is greatly appreciated...he absolutely loves his Christmas themed musical bear.

I would also like to say thank you to Charlie for the opportunity and for continually checking in to make sure that any questions we had were answered, and that we were happy as well as up to date with everything that was happening.

Our first photoshoot as mother & daughter in UK went brilliantly!

From booking the job with lovely Charlie and the onsite team was super friendly.

We really enjoyed it.

Thank you Models Direct!

Lovely shoot today at a hospice.

Staff were competent and managed to put me at ease. Hair and make up artist was great and i was a fantastic time!

Great experience.

I had my first photoshoot ever like a model 40+ and it was great. Atmosphere was relaxing as I was bit nervous, instruction clear and so professional. I had fun on the session with other models.

Thank you

I was surprised that I was shortlisted for this position in Business Disability forum in University of Reading by Models Direct for the SECOND assignment.

I arrived at the University on time, which I had to informed the client by texted I was in the building (that was in the Call Sheet) and the client was very pleased and came down to meet and bring me back upstairs to the top floor and the client introduced me to her team, which I felt at ease and the photographer as well. Didn't get the chance to talk with the rest of the models when I arrive, but as day goes on, I was good to fit in nicely with the models as well.

A productive day for me, I had to work closely with the photographer (she had to walk through or around to point direction for me to take or having a small conversation with the model that I am paired with or just having an eye contact etc) and the model for showing or demonstrated how to do this or that. The client had to be involved in each department (it was nice to explore and to take part in this projects) of how the layout of myself and others models to be, as working together as a team work. Example, I had to deal with a sick patient in knowing in how much pain she could be in etc. I was also working in a laboratory using scientific methods by demonstrated it in how to or use it etc by assisting him. I got to work as staff in the University Reception and having customers come over to me and ask me questions or advice, direction, or interest of where to go etc. This is such a lovely experience for me and the rest of the models that took part in this incredible interesting Business Disability forum.

Very grateful of the outcome to this amazing assignment. Thank you so much for this opportunity! Icelia

My first photo shoot

I had my first photo shoot, booked through Models Direct a few days ago. It was a great experience, it was ran very smoothly and was very professional. Everything was catered for, drinks and lunch was supplied. Great people to work with I would highly recommend anyone who is thinking of signing up with a model agency to definitely try Models Direct.

It was an amazing experience. The team was very friendly and I had the chance to meet so many people. I can't wait for the next ones.

I had my first photoshoot booked

I had my first photoshoot booked through modals direct a few days ago. Amazing experience the shoot was very professionally put together and we were provided with drinks through the day and given a comfortable place to wait. The only struggle for myself was a lot of waiting involved as I arrived at 8:50 and wasn’t needed till after 1:15pm

Being a Model has been one of the best experiences of my life

Hi Gemma
I hope you are fine.
This experience was amazing, so far one of the most enjoyable experiences.
All team, backstage, photographers, models and all the rest involved in the process were amazing.
We spoke about our experience like models. Everybody was so nice and kind with a good vibe. Everything so organize and clean.
I enjoyed so much this time and experience.
Thank you so much

Brilliant first photoshoot. 

Had an amazing first photo and video shoot for Six Nations campaign. Met loads of other models and the client provided us with lunch. Thanks to Gemma for all your support and being super helpful providing the brief of what to expect and answering questions. Date of experience: 07 November 2024

Had my first modelling project yesterday and it was an amazing experience. I was fortunate to work with a team that was not only skilled but also incredibly friendly and supportive. From the moment I met them, they made me feel comfortable and at ease, which made the entire process enjoyable.
I also have to commend Models Direct for being so communicative, always keeping me informed with the status of my portfolio and also for finding me this project. All my doubts/queries were promptly responded to.
Overall, the experience was fantastic. It was a great start, and I’m excited for more experiences with Models Direct in the future!

Please be proactive in updating your profiles because this has helped immensely in securing a booking. hopefully one of many! The atmosphere that team fostered on set was welcoming. They made sure to give direction whilst allowing me to test poses without judgement, communicated off the set adding to my comfortability and they were genuinely positive people. I couldn't have asked for a better crew to be under the care of.
Another piece of advice that helped is preparation. I would have had a tough time having to figure out body and facial poses on the spot. Luckily, I looked on social platforms beforehand.
Best of luck!
