Another Successful Assignment for Models Direct with Repeat Client Karen

Models Direct have been helping makeup artist Karen by providing models for the last year. After qualifying from a top hair and beauty school, Karen needed models to practise on and photograph for her portfolio. This month Sarah had her second assignment with the stylist.


“It felt fantastic modelling for the day,” Sarah informed Models Direct coordinators. “I really enjoy working with Karen and had a lovely morning with her. The best thing about the assignment was having my makeup done. I was asked to have my makeup done and then to pose for a selection of photos.”

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.”

"I haven't had that much fun in a long time," says Model Adrian



Modelling morris-dancing outfits may not sound very glamorous, but it proved to be a great day for 49-year-old Adrian. He was involved in a photo shoot to compare the old costumes with the more modern outfits that have just been introduced. Here’s what Adrian had to say about the assignment.

“I haven’t had that much fun for a long time,” Adrian explained enthusiastically. “The shoot was relaxed, professional and fun. I trust I got on OK with the photographer and the person for whom he was working. I hope I did well and produced the goods for the client.”

More Feedback from Jayden's Second Pampers Assignment


We’ve already posted about the recent assignment for Pampers. Since then one of the models has been selected again by the client to appear in more publicity materials for the massive baby brand.

Here’s what baby Jayden’s mum Evelyn said about her son’s second assignment with Models Direct.

“Jayden enjoyed himself and I could see he had a good time,” Evelyn informed us. “The best thing about the assignment was that everyone was very friendly and caring. It was a Pampers photo shoot and Jayden had to pose lying on his belly, looking up and looking up and smiling. I can say that it was quite difficult but everything went well in the end. Thank you for letting us represent you.”

Two Very Different Assignments with Models Direct...

Just to show how varied the assignments that Models Direct receive are here are just two of the assignments that are taking place this week.

Firstly, we have a British Bulldog called Charlie appearing on the channel five ‘Live From Studio Five’ tomorrow. He will be asked to pull out a bone from a dog bowl which will have a World Cup match score prediction on it. We wonder if it’ll be right!
Secondly, one of our models, Peter, is leaving rainy England and flying out to sunny Portugal today. This is a role play assignment and he will be acting as a patient at a medical conference. It’s alright for some!

Later in the year three you can see three Models Direct baby models appearing on Channel 4’s ‘Sex Education Show’.

The babies, Amelia, Jayden and Paige, were handed over to a group of teenagers to show how hard it is to look after a child. All of the mums had some great feedback and here at Models Direct we can’t wait to see the programme when it’s shown on TV.

“Amelia thoroughly enjoyed her first assignment and loved all the cameras and lights etc,” Amelia’s mum Krystal told us in her feedback. “She particularly enjoyed being with her fellow models and has made two new friends. Amelia behaved impeccably and enjoyed all the attention all the attention she was getting from the teenagers, presenter, production and crew.

It's Always Nice to Feel Appreciated...

We received a lovely email from one of our models, Nick, who took part in an assignment for Hampshire County Council yesterday, thanking Models Direct for our hard work. He also took to his own blog to make this comment about our agency...

"Models Direct have been excellent at providing suitable roles in photographic and video assignments. My agent is very friendly and great with communication. I was paid the day after the shoot, which is unheard of with other agencies. They are highly recommended."
