Models Direct Reviews - From our Female Models

We had a great experience working as family models at The Paddington Bear Experience in central London. Staff and Photographers are very helpful, nice and professional. We walked through the whole experience, both my children are inspired and excited, especially while we walked through Paddington's kitchen, and Peru garden! We all tried the extraordinarily marmalade sandwiches and amazing cakes in the end. Gemma called us beforehand, and set out the whole brief in emails, she dealt with things in such professional and detailed ways. Gemma also called us right after to make sure we were good and congratulated us for completing the job! In general, a five star fun experience with Models Direct. Thank you.

What an amazing day!!!!
The Paddington experience was just brilliant. So much fun and the other families and team at Paddington were fantastic to work with.
The cakes and marmalade sandwiches were delicious

2nd booking with Models Direct.
I had a great experience at my shoot at Leeds uni. It was an amazing opportunity to get to go to a new city and the other models were very friendly, which calmed my nerves and made the experience more enjoyable. The environment was very relaxed and shoot consisted of a variety of stills and video. Staff were also very nice and informative through out the shoot. I very much look forward to my next booking!

Really great experience, everyone was so kind and welcoming to the shoot in a relaxed but professional environment.

This was my second shoot with Models Direct. The process was very smooth and Gemma is really good with co-ordination and support. She was in touch with me the entire shoot process and even after. The shoot was fun and I met lot of fellow models. I would describe this shoot as very entertaining as we did not realise that we were actually working.

The team was incredible and were all so lovely! Gemma as always made sure I felt prepared and ready for the day.

Gemma has been exceptional. She consistently ensures we're well taken care of and ready for the fantastic opportunities that Models Direct offers us. It's always a pleasure working with her. Also a massive thank you to Kirstie, Tom, Tom & Dan for being such a great bunch to work with. The shoot today was full of laughter and good vibes. Amazing day all round. Thank you!

I had a photoshoot today organised by Models Direct and I had a really good experience overall. Everything was organised well, instructions were clear and easy to follow and most importantly, I really enjoyed myself!
I would highly recommend Models Direct and I'm looking forward to more bookings! :) Thank you!

I am so pleased to share my experience from my first photoshoot work of the day, Models Direct staff was very helpful and guided me to do a great job, they are any amazing team, which look well after their clients. Glad to be part of the team.
Very happy with everything and excited for next ones.

Models Direct is reliable.
I have experiences with other agencies but after the fee was paid never heard from them. However, from Models Direct, I received much guidance and also confirmation/feedback about me and my portfolio etc. I genuinely believe this agency is caring about their clients and works hard in order to improve the person’s career - offering/providing opportunities which can help them to gain more experience and chances to became a more successful model.

We had the best time on our recent family photo shoot. We were able to experience lots of fun activities over the two days.
We did mini Segway's, bungee trampoline’s, swimming pool shoot, beach shoot, inflatable assault course, crazy golf, crafts, evening dining and we got involved in the entertainment activities also.
We had an amazing time and everything exceeded our expectations. We were very looked after throughout the whole process which has left us all feeling very happy.

Thank you for this opportunity, it was a good first booking after a long break from the industry. I have to thank Models Direct for finding me work so soon after signing with them. I had good feed back and a chat after the shoot with my booking agent which was great. We discussed likes and dislikes of the day. Overall it was a good experience. Thank you.

We got our first assignment via Models Direct and we are very happy with the overall experience.

It was a very friendly environment from the beginning of the shoot and I was working with amazing people and an amazing team. It was my first shoot but it didn’t feel like it and I felt comfortable from the get go. They were clear with all instructions and so helpful with anything we needed.

Models Direct has been a great experience for me. Being put forward for a job was so rewarding and they’re great at contacting and helping to keep your profile updates. I’d definitely recommend for anyone starting out in the business as there’s so many jobs available.

I felt comfortable from the moment the shoot began as the team was so friendly.
Beth was amazing, she made it very clear what we needed to do and what to expect when walking to the shoot. The photographer (sorry, I forgot her name) was great with giving directions to ensure the shots came out perfectly. I believe the third lady was called jess, she was lovely and helped us all out where necessary to help everything run smoothly!
The shoot as a whole was fun.
Thanks to Charlie and Gemma for helping me!

Promotional Shoot for eFoldi
This was my first promotional shoot and it was fantastic. I had a wonderful time!
The production team and client representative were very helpful and welcoming and I felt very comfortable from the moment the shoot began.
Gemma from Models Direct was amazing. She kept in touch with us before the shoot advising us of the client's requirements etc., as well as throughout the two days of filming. The communication from Models Direct was always there.
The production team and client were very friendly and patient and always talked us through what was expected of us during filming. I couldn't have asked for a better team for my first promotional shoot.
Thank you Gemma for this wonderful opportunity!

I attended my first assignment, a two day promotional photoshoot with a UK holiday resort. The communication, support and assistance from Charlie from Models Direct was amazing. Any concerns I might have had were nipped in the bud straight away; and to top it off it was an amazing experience!!!
Thank you so much Models Direct!

Just finished my first couples shoot - really good fun.
Started the day outside in the glorious sunshine, and ended up playing mini golf, rowing a boat, having fun in a swimming pool, rounding off the two day shoot with bar and restaurant photographs.
The photographer and the client made us feel very at ease with nothing forced. Overall a very enjoyable couple of days enhanced by the lovely other couple we were paired with.

Had a really enjoyable shoot for a new sportswear brand today. The team behind the shoot were so lovely and made me feel very welcome and at ease. The shoot ran smoothly and efficiently and we finished exactly on time. We even got to choose some sportswear items to keep as a thankyou.

The before and aftercare by Models Direct was great, ensuring I had all the information I needed and then checking to make sure everything had gone to plan. I felt very supported. Overall, it was a positive experience.

The clients were really accommodating and made my shooting experience on set really enjoyable and fun. I felt that I was able to communicate to the clients about anything and everything. I really enjoyed how lunch was provided as I had never been in that area before so was unsure on where to go.
The fellow models that I also was with made the atmosphere really welcoming. At some parts we had to sit around a bit, I found that we were able to talk to each other about life. I had great chemistry with one of the models in particular, where we were able to express that in the photos.

One very wonderful day.
From the time I joined Model Direct I have felt supported and informed as my application progressed. Today I had my first experience of a photoshoot. It didn’t start well as there was a major incident on M25 and I was delayed. Both Charlie from Models Direct and the staff from the company the photoshoot was for were very supportive and assured me not to worry. On arrival I was welcomed warmly and through the process until I left I felt special and accommodated. There was no rush though I was late . My role covered that i needed assistance in my home towards independent living and was receiving guidance encouragement and support by Care Supporting Staff to gain this eg by showing me on how to cut vegetables vegetables, make a sandwich and such.
The venue was just breathtaking and the aura was very calming. This experience was very different from being an extra on film sets. Everyone present were so friendly.

Great first experience with Models Direct, a well organised event and always checking in. The photographer was great and the organisers were so nice so they have a good clientele. Hope to work with you again soon!
