Models Direct Reviews - From our Child Models

EXPERIENCE & MONEY

Christian loved the assignment. It involved face painting and was fun. I will definitely recommend the experience to others. Christian loved modelling a lot and decided he wanted to join Talent Management himself to get the experience and money.

TIGER, OCTOPUS & KNIGHT

Jack absolutely loved his assignment and had so much fun! He wasn't fazed by the camera at all and kept saying "next time..." so obviously wants to do more assignments!

The whole assignment was fun as it was for the world's largest face painting company so Jack got to be a tiger, an octopus and a knight all day. The photos were of step-by-step instructions of how to paint the above, so Jack had photos taken at different stages of the painting.

We would definitely recommend this experience to friends and in fact already have! I'm sure this sort of work isn't everyone's cup of tea but I can only go by what we have experienced and it has been a very positive experience.

Being with Talent Management has been good because you can see the jobs on the job board and apply for them if you think you would be suitable. Also, being in control of your own e-portfolio is brilliant.

ENJOYING THE THRILL

Connor loved being a model for the day. He really had fun, enjoyed it and would love to do it again. He enjoyed the thrill of a new experience, being painted and being able to work with new people. The modelling job involved going to a farm and spending 1/2 day having his hands and face painted to advertise for face painting designs step by step. He would recommend this to others and has not stopped talking about the experience. It was a good move signing Connor to Talent Management and we hope more work will follow.

FACE PAINTING FUN

Darina enjoyed the assignment day; she was absolutely fine, had lots of fun, and made new friends. She's looking forward to doing more modelling jobs in the future. The most enjoyable part was changing into different outfits for the photoshoots. The assignment involved trying on outfits, face painting and after posing for photo shoots. She learnt to be confident and work in a group of other kids. We would 100% recommend this to others, as it is great fun. The thing that made us to decide to join Talent Management was that we could see our daughter's potential and also because we believe that this agency is well managed, plus Darina's ambition.

2ND JOB

I'd love to do a job like this again, and again it was brilliant like the last job. I wasn't nervous, I just couldn't wait. As this was my second job, I knew what I was doing, as it was with the same company as before. I'd totally recommend it to anyone, it's fun to do and I'm always learning new things and making new friends. If I could do it all again I would over and over. The best bit was meeting all the people again. The job was doing a shoot for ADHD medicine. I'm on leaflets all over, and am glad I can help people who have this form of ADHD.

A NICE DAY OUT

This Models Direct assignment was only a fitting, but Sienna loved getting changed and trying clothes on. The atmosphere was relaxing as the people were nice. Sienna wasn't nervous at all and enjoyed travelling and having a nice day out!

NINTENDO ADVERTS

I had a really good time at the Nintendo casting Models Direct organised for me, it was very exciting. The people from Nintendo were very nice to me and the best bit about the day was all of it! It was a new experience for me and I enjoyed meeting the other models there, especially my two fake mum and dads, who were really nice to me and made me feel at ease.

ALL FUN & GAMES

The Nintendo casting Models Direct set up was a very exciting day! I had a brilliant time. We got to try out for 2 adverts. The first time I was really nervous, but the second time I was much more relaxed and had a much better time. We had a laugh with our fake mum and dad and they made us feel confident.

A STAR FOR THE DAY

I loved the modelling assignment with Models Direct! Everyone was so nice. I had to pose doing everyday things such as getting up, going to bed, brushing my teeth, eating lunch and breakfast, playing, and going to school. It felt great; I was a star for the day! Everyone fussed over me, which I liked a lot! I really, really enjoyed my 2 days.

RELAXED

The assignment with Models Direct was very relaxed and professionally conducted. The client and photographer were very helpful and Gemma was very relaxed and loved the two days. She was required to pose in several different school situations and it all went really well. Thank you for finding Gemma the assignment and she is keen to do more!

A VERY COOL SMURF!

Ashleigh said the modelling assignment was “exciting and very cool”. Ashleigh enjoyed "everything". She had her hair & make up done and then modelled a Smurf fancy dress costume. Ashleigh is becoming more and more confident modelling fancy dress outfits and is a mini pro. She is now very natural at it and can pose easily without being prompted.

DRESSING UP

We were made to feel very welcome from the start; refreshments and lunch were provided, the day was explained to us and we were shown a brochure. The children were asked to wear different dressing up outfits for the catalogue shoot. The children were put at ease and always told how well they were doing. Tommy really enjoyed his day and talked about it for days after! They were a really nice friendly group of people who we would definitely work for again.

OUTFIT HEAVEN

Carla's mother, Rebecca, said: The make-up artist was very good, and everyone was very nice, relaxed and calm. Carla said "that was fun, I would like to do that again", so thank you.

Carla added: It felt great to be a model, I really enjoyed myself. The best thing about the assignment was trying all the outfits on. We were asked to do lots of different poses, which was fun.

A MINI PRO

Ashleigh had a lovely modelling assignment with the same client and photographer that she has been modelling for over the last year. Ashleigh seemed confident and a mini pro, as all the posing comes naturally now. Ashleigh modelled several Hello Kitty fancy dress costumes - which is a favourite in our house!

HELLO KITTY!

Shae enjoyed being a model. She was asked to pose in a number of Hello Kitty outfits, which was the best thing about the assignment.

THE "HERO" BABY

We never expected that Max would be chosen as the “hero” baby for the Pampers campaign. We were delighted and so proud of him. It has been a lovely experience and we look forward to embarrassing him with the story when
he is older.

FANCY DRESS

This was a great modelling job for my daughter. The best thing about the assignment was she got to dress in fancy dress and party wear! For the shoot she was required to pose in a number of oufits.

VINTAGE KIT

Eniz had a great day on the Vintage kit photo shoot. The contact on the day was very understanding and very patient with the young children on the assignment. On the morning of the shoot the models were asked to change into the provided outfits and were taking pictures of in various parts of the national history museum. They made the day fun and enjoyable and both models and their parents were able to take part in the models Pictures. Later in the afternoon we visited Hyde parkand more pictures were taken there with a further change of clothes. Overall the day was very nice and Great to see my child having fun.

WHET THE APPETITE

Feyvan really enjoyed the experience. We are looking forward to seeing the photos from the shoot and this first time assignment has whet the appetite to do some more.

BOOKWORM

I enjoyed the assignment very much. I loved having my pictures taken. I was asked by Hampshire County Council to read books in a Library and look natural while pictures were taken.

LIKE A DUCK TO WATER

Wow, what an assignment for Hampshire County Council. I asked Gregg what he would like to comment on the feedback and he said he loved all of it and can't wait to do it again. The photographer and organiser put him at ease straight away and he took to it like a duck to water! There was no stress, no undue instructions and the other models were very friendly. Gregg's assignment was for advertising local libraries and their services such a hardship for a lad who loves books! He had 'grandparents' to pose with alongside a younger sister. Overall a fantastic experience and would recommend to others, don't be shy step forward and have a go what have you got to loose?!

PARTY TIME

Ashleigh wore 7 fancy dress costumes. Ashleigh said she felt "fantastic" being a model for the day as it "was good fun". The best thing about the days assignment is at the end of the photo shoot 6 children chose a fancy dress costume to wear, danced in it, played with balloons, party poppers and bouncy balls - lots of fun!!!

REPRESENTING HAMPSHIRE

We all enjoyed the assignment. George was ask to be a child looking at books/ laptops. We were 
very pleased with the client Hampshire County Council helping us.

ANOTHER JOB WELL DONE

Another great assignment for Smiffys. Shae is becoming increasingly confident, she felt very special. The best thing about the assignment was that Shae-Love got the opportunity to wear different outfits and get her make up and hair done, which she loved. Shae was asked to pose in various items of clothing..

A GREAT DAY

Samuel enjoyed the assignment very much. A great day.
