Models Direct’s Peter Takes a Trip to Portugal

Every so often our lucky models are given the opportunity to not only show off their talents in photographic, production and promotional roles, they get to go on a trip abroad as well! This is what happened when model Peter was selected for an assignment for Synergy.

"The experience was invaluable," says John after BBC Assignment


One of our models, John, recently appeared on BBC’s Crimewatch, but don’t worry, he’s not a criminal! John had a walk-on part in one of the TV show’s crime reconstruction scene. Here’s what he got up to.

“As this was my first assignment I didn’t know what to expect,” John explained. “After brief introductions and a soft drink we were whisked off to a private dining room to film the first few scenes. I knew I had a walk-on part but had no idea we would be ad-libbing as well as eating on camera. Once this was complete we were driven to another location to film the murder scene.”

“The other ‘actors’ were far more experienced than me but were easy to work with. Whilst the fee was modest the experience was invaluable and I hope to do more soon.”

A Scientific Assignment for Jahmel and Karolina

After each assignment he’s received through Models Direct, model Jahmel always provides us with some brilliant (and funny) feedback. This was the case with his most recent assignment for the Science Museum in London.


“I had to sit on a stool and take a thousand and one photos, moving my head slightly forward and chin up and all those challenging directions that most people would require a PHD in order to do,” Jahmel jokes. “It was fun anyway. I got to make like I was important for three hours before going to my day job where my model features are wasted and I just blend in with all the others whilst dreaming about what my next shoot will be like.”

Models Direct's Ruth and Jayden Beat Competition to Become Pampers Baby Models

Last month Models Direct sent eight baby models out on a casting to see if they could become models for famous brand Pampers.

The casting agent was looking for tanned and dark-skinned babies aged 6-14 months. Baby models Alissia, Ousmane, Firdous, Ruth, Jayden, Jack, Oduware, Armani and Renell were selected from their profile photos to attend the casting. They each spent around ten minutes with the casting director so she could find out more about their personalities.

Models Direct were really happy when they found out Jayden and Ruth had been selected for the photo shoot. Both of the babies were booked for five hours for the photo shoot, in which they would be photographed sleeping – which could have proved difficult!

The assignment went well and we can’t wait to see the final pictures. Meanwhile, here’s some feedback from Ruth’s mum Denise.

“The day went well and the client was very patient and accommodating,” Denise informed Models Direct. “It was a lovely calm atmosphere, and although Ruth cannot speak for herself, I can say that she felt very relaxed. The best thing about the day was seeing it all come together and realising how much hard work goes into these shoots.”

I did find the stressed look quite hard and am intrigued as to how they look.”

After being so happy with Models Direct models first time around, furniture company Natuzzi Services Ltd returned to us for another weekend of promotional assignments.

Natuzzi needed a number of models to work in their shops across the UK, meeting and greeting customers. Again the models involved were pleased with how their assignments went, despite some admitting that it was not the type of work they were expecting.

Models Direct asked the models for their feedback on how the assignments went. Ubed and Rachael were both working in the Croydon store.



“It felt really good doing promotional work for a high-end company and also representing Models Direct in a professional manner,” model Ubed reported to Models Direct. “Best thing I would say was being able to work in a great atmosphere and interacting with the customers.”

Rachael was also enthusiastic about the assignment.
