Had a great time at my shoot.
Gemma from models direct spoke with me a few times before so I knew exactly what was expected of me and also followed this up with an email.
The shoot was extremely professional and a lot of fun.
Thank you so much!

I joined Models Direct after I took semi-retirement and had a bit more spare time on my hands. I am a fairly confident person and love meeting new people. I wanted to do something completely different and it seemed like a fun and interesting thing to do. This was my first assignment and I was booked to pose as part of a couple using Airport Parking Facilities for a holiday company. The assignment took place near Aberdeen Airport and was over three days. I didn't quite know what to expect, but I needn't have worried as the crew were fantastic at putting me at ease and explaining exactly what they needed from me. I thoroughly enjoyed working with my partner and the crew and learned about the process of shooting an advert. I found the whole experience totally enjoyable and really exciting, and would certainly like to do more work like this in the future. I think it has been a great move for me to join Models Direct as they have managed the whole booking process with professionalism. They have also been extremely encouraging and supportive.

Thank you for an amazing first campaign experience.Just wanted to take a moment to thank Models Direct for booking my first campaign shoot. It was a wonderful experience and the details provided were clear and accurate, ensuring that I knew exactly what to expect. Clear instructions/directions were provided to reach to the location, the crew were not only professionals but also very kind and supportive. It was nice meeting and chatting with my fellow models and Gemma, the talent manager. Overall it was a great experience, I look forward to working with Models direct more in the future and recommend to others as well. ThanksDate of experience: 28 November 2024

Highly recommend Models DirectEveryone at Models Direct is really friendly, professional, and eager to help you.
I had my first shoot, which was straightforward, and everyone on set was welcoming and nice to work with.
Looking forward to more bookings.

I had my 2nd booking today. It was a charity photoshoot for Alzheimer's UK to raise awareness and health information about brain health.
I was so warmly welcomed. It was a great and very enjoyable time all through the entire photoshoot. There were various activities for each section of the photoshoot - reading, catching up with a friend, playing a board game (scrabble), cooking, dancing, gardening, playing a musical instrument, making a video call, the outdoors - out for a walk and also reading a book at the bus stop.
I commend the team who were all fantastic, amazingly wonderful and worked so well together.
I was so impressed with their professionalism and beautiful attention to detail.
I thank Models Direct immensely for a special and memorable day.
Thank you.

1st timeI’d like to start by expressing my genuine appreciation for finally being given the opportunity to take part in the recent commercial shoot for Greene King at Cheadle Hulme. This was my first modeling experience with Models Direct since joining back in 2023, and overall, the day itself was incredibly fulfilling. I thoroughly enjoyed being part of a vibrant set, meeting new people, and contributing to scenes I didn’t expect to be involved in — it truly gave me a glimpse into the potential of what this career could be.
That said, I do feel it’s important to share some honest feedback regarding the process leading up to this point. While I’m grateful for the experience, I can’t ignore the fact that it’s taken nearly three years to receive my first assignment. During this time, I’ve seen others come on board and secure shoots within a couple of months, which has been difficult to witness as someone who’s been committed to the journey since 2023.
I understand that opportunities in this industry can be unpredictable, and that sometimes it’s about timing and fit. However, the wait has been disheartening at times, especially without consistent communication or clarity on how I could have improved my chances. I say this not out of complaint, but out of a sincere desire to be considered more actively moving forward.
The shoot reminded me how much I enjoy this space, and I hope this can be the beginning of more regular opportunities. I’m committed, adaptable, and ready to bring more energy and professionalism to future assignments.
Thank you again for the opportunity — I just hope it won’t take another three years for the next one.

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 daughter came to wacky warehouse today to do a some videos shoots today.
She absolutely loved it from start to finish. The people who she was working with throughout the day were amazing so kind and really funny and definitely knew there business and knew what there were doing. They were so lovely to me my daughter and my dad aswell - supplied refreshments when needed.
My daughter had so much fun she was full of smiles throughout the shoot and she said at the end of the day Mum I loved it today it was so much fun, and I loved how I felt confident and loved playing on the soft play and just being myself and having loads of fun throughout.
My daughter also mentioned how sweet the little ones were following her about especially when she was wearing world book day outfit like Where is Wally !! and when they wanted her to play with her throughout the videos she was doing really good interaction with children lots of fun and brilliant experience.
Thanks MD

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.
