Models Direct Reviews - From our Female Models

I had a lovely day today promoting 'Share Something Amazing' on behalf of The Fertility Partnership. I learnt a lot from doing this campaign, including how lovely the cause is. The job was easy and fun.  Thank you Models Direct!

I had a really good time helping to promote awareness for woman donating their eggs as it is such a good cause to be able to help so many people who potentially wouldn't be able to have a family without that generosity. I learned a lot in relation to donating and also gained confidence in talking to people in the street and surprised to hear people's interests and positive reactions.

I joined Models Direct in order to gain experience, learn new skills and meet new people. I think that this is a great experience to do if maybe you're lacking in confidence when speaking to people as it kind of throws you in the deep end a little, but by the end of the day it's second nature!

I really enjoyed being part of the 'Share Something' Amazing project.  It's a cause I am actually passionate about which made it that much more enjoyable and rewarding.  I enjoyed talking to the public and teaching them about the lack of egg doners in the country. 

Thank you Models Direct for booking me.

I had a fantastic day promoting The Fertility Partnership. I've learned a little more about fertility issues nationwide and the possibility of donating eggs for IVF treatment, which helps so many couples to have children and make their life happier. I would definitely recommend this experience to others because it is so great to share the knowledge and experience with other women. I personally think that it is a great idea to join the agency such as Models Direct for a various reasons - it can be a second job and possibility to make extra pocket money.  It is always a great fun and all people involved such as models and the staff members are absolutely fantastic, friendly and very supportive. :)

Once again, I had such a brilliant experience on this being my 3rd assignment through Models Direct. The idea of this project was to hand out balloons in a busy town centre on behalf of a fertility clinic.  I was required to engage the public and raise awareness of the national shortage of egg donors in the UK. Working closely with the team from the fertility clinic and the advertising company from 6am till 1pm, the £160 I will receive for this assignment is extremely worth it as it was very enjoyable. I really recommend using this agency and I look forward to my next assignment.

I thoroughly enjoyed my recent promotional assignment.  I was asked to help out at short notice and having not done anything like this before, I had no idea of what to expect. Mike from the agency met us promptly at 6am to brief us about the campaign. He was clear, concise and answered all of our questions. After I had spoken to the first members of the public, I felt much more relaxed and jumped straight into the challenge. It was really nice be able to inform others about a subject they may otherwise not have any idea about. Also, speaking to so many different people and learning their stories was equally rewarding. I would definitely consider doing something like this again in the future with Models Direct.

I was really nervous before starting my contract to be a fittings model for Matalan, but everyone really made me feel at ease. I'm learning new things every day!  Thank you Models Direct.

The whole experience was amazing - I met some really lovely people that I plan on keeping in contact with and it has really boosted my confidence as a model. The best part of the day was when we had all finished and the models got together and did a big silly photo, which worked really well and everyone seemed to be having so much fun!  Thank you Models Direct for this opportunity.

This was a great second assignment where I was asked to stand with a blank cheque whilst the client took photos.  My expression was supposed to be that of someone who had won a lot of money, it was such a fun experience!  I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere and the people who were there to greet me were very kind and welcoming. As always, Models Direct have been brilliant at keeping in touch and finding me fun and interesting assignments. I will look forward to my next one.

It was my first assignment and I was slightly nervous, but mainly excited. The assignment involved posing as a jackpot winner in a casino. It was brilliant posing for pictures imagining I had won a huge sum of money.  Everyone was friendly and explained everything and I enjoyed meeting the other models who were great.  Absolutely brilliant experience, thank you Models Direct!

I was acting as an office worker for the day. It was great to meet with new people and understand the business I was on the assignment with. Everyone was really friendly and this is certainly something I would do again.  I really enjoyed my role among all the interviews taking place throughout the day.  I was asked to dress as a professional and smart worker who was employed by an estate agent. This to me came easily as I am already working in an office environment full time.  New skills I learnt include patience and networking with people.

I would recommend this experience as you get to meet new people and learn something new about different business or companies.

Anyone thinking of joining a talent agency, I would advise you to do so. It is not full time but when you get a job it's nice to do something on the side that is different from your normal day to day work. I haven't updated my portfolio that much as not much has changed since I registered.  Models Direct are very good at keeping you in the loop and they explain the process very well. I signed up with Models Direct as I wanted to do something different aside from my 9-5 working week. This offers the opportunity to meet with new people and place yourself in situations that you wouldn't have expected to be in. It is also great to get the extra cash on the side!

My first assignment for Models Direct was for an estate agency advert. My role was to play an office worker on camera. It was a fun and relaxed afternoon’s work and I got to meet some lovely people. I would definitely recommend Models Direct to anyone looking to get professional work in the modelling / film industry or even if you just want to earn some extra cash! I’ve already got my next assignment booked with Models Direct - looking forward to it!

This is my second assignment for Models Direct within two days! Today, I modelled wedding dresses and accessories for a bridal wear company. Once I arrived, I had my makeup and hair professionally done then I was helped into a beautiful wedding dress. I got to work with two other lovely models from Models Direct and we all had a great time getting glammed up and posing in front of the camera! I would highly recommend Models Direct to anyone, whether you are new to the industry or already experienced. Either way, it’s a fun way to make some extra money on the side! Can’t wait for my next booking!

My first assignment through Models Direct was with Stargem Bridal. Beforehand I was very nervous as it was my first time modelling. The people from Stargem were extremely wonderful and made me feel comfortable right from the start. I was nervous with meeting the other models but they were both so kind, it was great to become friends with them. The whole day was so much fun, filled with laughter! I definitely would love to work with them all again and I certainly will just enjoy every moment of any model assignment I may come across.

Although I am an experienced model, I thoroughly enjoyed the new experience with both Molly at Models Direct and all responsible people involved at the Aspers Casino photographic assignment. It was handled very professionally and with an easy approach to make us models feel very comfortable. No stress at all, it was fun to present a happy face for the photographer and it was great to be able to interact with the other models! Thank you for choosing me.

Hi, I am Jennifer.  I did a photo shoot at an NHS hospital, and this was my second assignment through Models Direct.  I was not nervous, the staff were very helpful and made it fun. Also the other models were very kind and one female model helped me remove a bracelet that I couldn't (it was necessary to complete the job). I was asked to change into uniform and pretend to be a nurse.  The best part was to work with a child model who was really lovely and made my job so easy. I was asked to pretend to be a nurse taking notes from a doctor and then take the child's temperature.  It was a really fantastic experience, and I enjoyed every minute of it. The more jobs you do the less nervous you become, because you tend to have an idea of what to expect. I will definitely recommend Talent Management to anyone who is interested in the industry.

I wasn't nervous before my shoot with the NHS.  I had fun chatting to the 'doctor' on the shoot.  I just had to lay in bed and answer questions about my reason for being in hospital, then I chatted with the 'doctor' on being discharged.  I didn't necessarily learn new skills as I am used to working on stills shoots, but I would recommend this type of work as it is all great experience. 

In terms of joining an agency, I think you have to be patient and not expect too much too soon.  I signed with Models Direct because they approached me.

It was great being a model for the day, I was relaxed and had fun with the others, and I would definitely to do that again.  I enjoyed every moment of the assignment.  I was acting as a child patient's mother for NHS Professional's latest advertising material. What I have learnt from this experience is to devote yourself, contribute towards great team work and be confident.  I would recommend other people to take the opportunity for this kind of work through Models Direct as I am doing.  It requires ambition to gain experience and through this you will certainly gain good money.

I was feeling very comfortable about the assignment. I was asked to be a doctor for an NHS photo shoot. I had the good fortune to be able to interact with an adorable little Chinese girl, who was to be my patient. I adore children so to  interact with her was a real treat. Her pretend mum and myself managed to make her feel more at ease and managed to draw a few shy smiles out of her. That alone was such a pleasure. We were asked to look like we were talking to her and the mum, then a bit later I had to report to a nurse about my patient. If the shoot had been a longer affair, I would have had an even more fantastic time with my little patient, who was in the end warming up to her role.

Any advice for someone else? Such jobs can be fun for sure. It is my first one with Models Direct, but I am used to have my pictures taken or being filmed for other purposes, so I have no confidence issues about it. I loved being able to interact with everyone involved in the shoot. I hope they all remember how I made them all laugh a little!

Why joining you? I did it years ago when my life circumstances were different, and regular work would have been so welcome. Today, I am in a different place, but I would still hugely welcome doing more such work to take my mind off more demanding responsibilities. Being way too busy these days, I forget to look on your site for jobs but if you can put me forward for more assignments, I would certainly consider them, if my time allows.

Thank you for giving me the opportunity. Warmest regards to the whole team. Isabelle
