Models Direct Reviews - From our Male Models

This was my very first photo shoot and despite the initial nervousness, I found the whole experience really enjoyable. The team who were taking the pictures, were extremely professional and friendly, giving good clear direction throughout the shoot. The other members who were part of the shoot, were easy to work with and also very friendly. The location was spectacular, being in an iconic building and overlooking the River Mersey. Great views. Thank you to Gemma and the team for allowing me my first shoot, and fingers crossed, I look forward to many others. Thank You.

The team were absolutely wonderful. Very welcoming and friendly, they made me feel relaxed and I enjoyed every second of the experience.

Great shoot experience from Models Direct's side, great team on the shoot, lovely shoot location and environment!
Definitely recommend and looking forward to work with everyone again!

Our next assignment was a family shoot at the Paddington Bear experience in London. We all had a nice time, we actually quite enjoyed the day and the kids were well looked after.

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

Fun Shoot Day at Leeds University.
Had a really fun day of shooting at Leeds University despite it lasting only a few hours for me. I really enjoyed the relaxed environment that the photographers and the supervisor had set up. It was even more enjoyable with the other models on set from different backgrounds whom I got to meet and work with.

It was honestly a great experience! As my first original paid shoot, I would say it was a success in every way. Not only did I get to meet other models, but I also had the opportunity to see what is truly like to be a model. Thank you for having me, it was an amazing adventure :)

I really enjoyed the working environment, i met some very experienced and enthusiastic people at the shoot. The photographers and directors gave clear instructions and made us all feel at ease.

Many thanks once again.

Models Direct have continued to impress me and find me consistent work, from shoot to shoot the experiences have been better and better. I am gaining a lot of valuable experiences and proud to represent Models Direct. It was great to be out of my comfort zone for a few of the takes and gain a new sense of confidence to bring into my career. The clients were fantastic and knew what vision they needed from me and the other models, the whole day was very smooth and a pleasure to be a part of the shoot today.

I had such a lovely fun time on my first shoot, the team were so welcoming and really nice. Overall it was an amazing first experience, looking forward to the next one. Thank you Gemma at Models Direct!

Your respected, you can speak to anyone at Models Direct and they’re very helpful .

I felt very comfortable speaking to the other members.

Especially speaking to the really lovely person at the agency, I’m sure one day she’s gonna be charming.

Really had a nice time today I was on a Lighthouse boat in Hull .

Everybody was pleasant to talk to and made me smile. It’s quite relaxing. Can’t wait till next time.

Thank you all!

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.

It’s awesome working with Models Direct, they were precise with details of shoot and it really helped me to navigate.

Hi at Models Direct, just wanted to say I had a great time on my first shoot, the team were really nice, Tim was great and also my wife in the advert amazing. All in all it was a marvellous first experience being the user of a Efoldi . Look forward to the next one. Thank you Gemma at Models Direct.

The shoot was great, everyone was really friendly and chatty and it created a nice environment. It was my first shoot and they made me feel very welcome. It was a calm and relaxed environment which allowed me to put my all into the shoot and enjoy it fully. I would definitely recommend.

Today at the Deansgate pub in Manchester was a great first shoot for me, I got to meet loads of great people with a good team who were operating the shoot. We first went round a table and posed for a goal in a football game, next we got some drinks and table food and snacks to make it a natural setting and took more shots. Altogether shoot went well and looking forward to next one.

Another great shoot
I have worked with this client before last year on a shoot and I really enjoyed being on set once again and representing Models Direct. Lively, professional set. I look forward to continuing my process.

Another Great Experience
I am grateful to have been found another job a month after my first with Models Direct, again the communication was top tier and all forms were given to me in a timely manner. I was always reassured that if I had any questions that they were there to answer these. On the day of the shoot everything was professional and a real attention to detail was shown. As it was a big group shoot it was nice to chat and network with other talent models and share stories of our experiences, the day was relaxed and I as given amazing direction in what was needed and all in all it was another successful fun shoot!

I was informed well before the day on what I would need to bring, wear and what to expect on the day. Models Direct made it really easy for me and were easy to communicate with when I had questions.

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.

This was my first professional shoot through Models Direct, I really liked the experience it was very laid back with a lot of banter all the way while still remaining professional and concentrating on the task ahead instructions were very clear. Thank you for the experience.
