Working with this company was such a genuinely lovely experience. From the moment I walked through the door, I was greeted with warmth, kindness and a really positive atmosphere. Even though the session was fast-paced to fit everything into the timeframe, the team made sure I felt comfortable and supported throughout.
They walked me through every part of the process as many times as I needed, offered drinks, set up a portable heater because the warehouse was cold, and made sure I had privacy whenever I needed it. They also helped with hair and make-up, and their photographer was so friendly and reassuring — it made the whole shoot feel relaxed, fun, and natural rather than strict or pressured.
There were lots of smiles, lots of laughing and so much encouragement. I genuinely enjoyed every shoot and working with their products. Overall, it was such a lovely experience and I would 100% work with them again.

My Nintendo photoshoot went very well, the clients were very helpful.It felt amazing, dressing up, pretending to be a princess, you can't complain! The best thing was the clients telling me that they were very pleased with my performance. I was asked to act like a princess and dance as if i was at a ball, smiling and feeling excited to see my prince.

Really enjoyed today at the framework innovation shoot , the photographer was easy to work with and we had some laughs along the way.
Amy the other model was very easy to work with, in a professional business setting with great facilities, the owner was very exact in his requirements and everything just flowed along great.

I had an all day shoot yesterday with a national pub chain via Models Direct and I had an amazing experience.
I took part in several photo and video materials being produced throughout the day amongst 14 other models.
It was fun and engaging. Everything was of course very smoothly organised by Models Direct, which means I could just concentrate on enjoying the shoot.
The team were such a pleasure to work with, they carefully directed all of the scenes and models.
We all had a meal at lunch break and it was overall a great elpetricence.

First assignmentI recently completed my first assignment with Models Direct and it was a brilliant experience from start to finish. As this was my first shoot, I was naturally a bit nervous beforehand, but the organization and clear communication I received quickly alleviated any nerves.
The information provided in the talent booking form was spot on, ensuring I knew exactly where to go, what to wear for the February weather, and what to expect on the day. During the shoot, the atmosphere was incredibly supportive. The production team and lead provided excellent direction, making me feel comfortable and confident while working as part of a 'group of friends'.
It was truly amazing to combine the joy of being out in nature with a professional team dedicated to capturing that essence. I am very impressed with how Models Direct handled the representation and would certainly accept an opportunity to work with them again.
