Models Direct Reviews - From our Male Models

Hi ya. My name is Deon. I’m eighteen years old and I’ve just had my first shoot with Models Direct. I was a bit nervous going into the shoot as it was my first, but thanks to the Models Direct staff the made me feel comfortable and welcome. They also gave me that confidence boost I needed. So I’d love to say a massive thank you to Models Direct for giving me this first opportunity to take on board because it has now given me a stepping stone into the modelling industry.

Hi there. So about a week ago I had the opportunity to have a shoot thanks to Models Direct. On the day I met a few amazing artists, a DJ, a rapper producer and a singer. I also met quite a few other extras, exchanged contact details with them. Overall it was just a really good day, fun experience as well and met really good people.

Hi. My name is Emmanuel. I’m a freelance model with Models Direct. A few days ago Models Direct contacted me to do a photo shoot. I met new friends, I met some models, some my own age, some doing modelling part-time some full-time, different parts of London and Scotland and Wales and we had an amazing time. The shoot consisted of 3 artists, I can’t remember the names but one was as singer, one was a DJ and the other was a rapper. What we had to do for that day was dance and sing along. We had an amazing time. I met the crew as well, they were a lovely crew. I’d like to thank Models Direct to work with such a big brand. Thank you very much.

Hi. My name’s Oscar and I’d like to say thank you to Models Direct for giving me the opportunity to do an amazing shoot last weekend. I met loads of great people, really exciting and I can’t wait to do it again so many thanks.

Hi I’m James. I’d like to thank Models Direct for the assignment I had in London on Sunday evening. It was great fun, I met lots of interesting people, it was very professional and very relaxing. I felt extremely comfortable. This was my first assignment with Models Direct and I enjoyed it thoroughly. I look forward to other assignments in the future.

Hey, so I’m Isaac. I was one of the extras today. It was my first ever shoot and to be honest I had such a sick time. It was generally so cool. I’m a musician and the fact we were filming a music video with live music, it was completely awesome. It was really cool,I was really happy, I’ve met so many cool people and I got on with everyone I spoke to. Thank you to Models Direct for getting me that job. They made my day - I had the best Sunday. Thank you Models Direct and see you later.

Hi guys. So I’m talking about my shoot yesterday. It was a commercial in Regent Street. It was a really fun shoot, quite easy, good atmosphere. I would recomend it through Models Direct - just give it a go.

Hi. My name’s Gavin. My assignment was for the NHS. I arrived, was met and made to feel really welcome. It was a really good set, the photographer was really helpful and I enjoyed the day. I would like to do it again and be involved with other work with the NHS. It was really good, really enjoyed it. Thanks.

Thanks to Talent Management / Models Direct I’ve had some really good opportunities. I had the opportunity to be an underwear model in Birmingham. This was brilliant and I met new people. I also had the opportunity to become an entertainer in Leicester. This was far a wrap battle competition where people competed wrapping presents. This was brilliant. We had fun, they had fun, the audience had fun. I was able to attract a lot of audience in with my performance which was great. Thanks to Talent Management and Models Direct I hope to have more assignments and I’m excited to have more assignments. Thank you.

Hi this is Catalin. I just wanted to let you know a bit about my experience with Models Direct / Talent Management. I had my first assignment with them about a month ago and it was really fun. It was a fancy dress photoshoot, something I’ve never really done before, it was great, the client was awesome. It was a lot of fun on set and I got a nice pay cheque at the end of the day for not too many hours. I had a good time and I would definitely recommend it. Thanks.

“Hi. It’s Fabrico here. Just giving you quick feedback regarding the commercial shot in Shoreditch. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience, despite the weather. We spent four hours on the bus and almost forgot about the cold, although my toes didn’t. It was a great experience for me, the first time I was playing a character. I was asked to be a passenger on the bus, half asleep which was great fun. The team were very professional, friendly and we really, really had a good time, immediately at ease, well cared for, the makeup people (who unfortunately did not do any work on me), costumes and we were even given a cup a soup! So thumbs up, it was great. Whenever you need an Italian looking and sort of ‘daddy’ looking - I’m here. Thank you.”

“Hi there. This is Kian. I just want, first of all, to thank Models Direct for the opportunity for my assignment which was on Thursday. It was a very enjoyable day. I meet some great people. It was very simple. The instructions for what I had to do, costumes, everything, timing was up to scratch as well and generally a very nice enjoyable day. So I look forward to hopefully getting some assignments coming through and hopefully see where that leads to. Once again, thanks very much Models Direct for the opportunity.”

“Hi. My name is Ramone. I work for Models Direct. First of all, they’re a great company. I recommend them to anyone, especially if you're a young person, it’s a lot of fun work. I’ve done video shoots, I’ve done photo shoots, for different companies and they’re very helpful and very supportive and I would definitely recommend them again. Thank you.”

Really enjoyable experience on site with the other models and crew for Ford Motors Company. Learnt a lot and was treated very well. The other models were top fun to be around and I'd definitely do something like this again. Thanks Models Direct First time doing this sort of thing and really satisfied with how it went. 

It was really good to being a model for Ford Commercial cars today, and I would love to do it again. The most enjoyable part of my assignment, is networking and  working with other models. I was ask to sit in a mini truck playing the part of the as the driver,. I felt  confident and comfortable.

The photo shoot for Cineworld was a different, fun and a chilled-out experience and I would definitely do it again. I was a bit nervous as you naturally are but I was also excited because I'm a big movie fan! The most enjoyable part of this assignment was working with a fellow  female model. It was really chilled out, we laughed and just had fun doing the shoot; even got some free popcorn and drinks! Who wouldn't want a fun and enjoyable experience? I'd definitely recommend it! 

This shoot helped me to improve my movement, comfortability and confidence in front of the camera. I joined Models Direct  2 years ago to see if I had potential in this tough modeling industry. At first, I didn't think I'll get much work but the team started to contact me about shoots not long after joining. The MD team have been so supporting and caring from the start!

This is my second assignment from Models Direct this month, this involved performing (rapping)  during a Christmas wrapping competition in Highcross shopping center,  I performed  and edged the contestants on. Being an entertainer for the day was nerve racking at first but after the first wrap competition I gained confidence. The people hosting and organizing the event were really nice and showed me a lot of support throughout the day. I mostly enjoyed performing to a crowd and being able to attract an audience.  I would recommend the experience to others because it was extremely fun to do and allows you to build your confidence . Advice I would give someone wanting to pursue work in the talent industry, is to go for it there are many opportunities and you will be doing different things all the time. Curiosity, Experience, Money and Fun made me decide to join up with Models Direct.

I wasn't too nervous if anything I was excited to see what I would be doing. We were being filmed for a house party for a well known food brand, I was tasked with taking selfies with cut out Instagram board and then joining the rest of the revelers to let loose in the main party scene. My favorite part had to be the ending shot with all of us partying in the main area it was also were we would all get our main camera exposure. It was great fun being apart of the advert and I'd love to get the opportunity to do something like that again. I'd definitely recommend others to look at  joining Models Direct with the opportunity to take part in great things like this advert. It shows that you don't have to be a professional but it certainly helps you build a good portfolio for if you are looking to take up modelling or acting etc.

Harry has asked me to relay his experience...
He said he was nervous before the shoot but "Dan" from the crew gave him some tips on how to manage his nerves and from there he threw himself into the shoot and really enjoyed it! He loved the live band and has now become a fan.

The scene was a "live" party with 360 degree cameras and Harry and the other models were asked to dance and enjoy themselves while eating the "snack" being advertised.

Harry says he definitely feels more confident and would like to access more modelling work. Thank you Models Direct!

I really enjoyed the assignment as an extra for Walkers Christmas campaign  and met some lovely people. It was my first experience as a model and it was a real eye opener. The crew were professional and I would love to do more of this kind of work. 

I wasn't nervous because we were given good directions and the nature of the assignment was explained well. 

Models Direct are a well run and professional agency and I'm looking forward to getting more work through the agency.

This assignment for Bullring shopping center in Birmingham was very intriguing and the actual content of the build up to Christmas is important to some. It felt great knowing that a positive impact could be made interacting with the public. Looking forward to my next one. Thanks Models direct.

We were shooting a promotional feature with Northshot productions for an internet stock investment site. We all had a great time - the crew was very professional. They really put us all at ease. The production ran smoothly and we all got out on time. I'd do it again in a minute! Thank you  Models Direct!

I did my first assignment  being a model in Birmingham's Shopping center. I had a fantastic day with a bunch of other models from Models Direct. 

I was nervous as this was my first assignment ever, I was asked to be an extra for a Walkers Christmas social media Campaign, At the end of the assignment I thought my confidence improved. Everyone was so friendly and informative. I would recommend joining Models Direct.

It was really enjoyable and eye opening assignment  from Models Direct, for a Doritos Campaign and I would love to take any other chances I get.I felt like I was home
