Models Direct's Laura Models for Ultimo Bras

Back in June, curvaceous model Laura was chosen by one of out clients, MJM International, to model lingerie for Ultimo Bras. From her feedback it’s obvious to see that Laura had a lovely day on her first modelling assignment with Models Direct.

“I really enjoyed modelling for Ultimo,” Laura informed us. “I was treated very professionally throughout the day and it was a lot of fun. The best thing was that it was such an easy job and I felt very comfortable. I was asked to wear different underwear and pose for the camera, not even like work is it!”

Models Direct: An Education in Modelling

Three models recently took part in three assignments for Pearson Education books, posing in a number of different situations. Nineteen-year-old Nick was posing speaking on the phone. Here’s what he had to say about the assignment.

“I felt very welcome straight away and completely comfortable with the people there and the surroundings,” Nick informed Models Direct. “The clients were very professional, completely down to earth and all seemed very lovely people. The best thing about the assignment for me was the fact that I was doing something I really love and enjoy doing! Recently I’ve been used to cleaning tables, serving food and clearing up other people’s mess for pennies! I truly had a lovely time, so thank you so much for providing me with the great opportunity!”

"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.”

Here’s what Tabitha said about the promotional assignment.

Yet Another Models Direct Assignment with Smiffy's


We’ve just had Models Direct feedback from Ashleigh and Shae-Love’s most recent assignment with fancy dress company Smiffy’s. Here’s what their mums had to say about their photo shoots.

“Ashleigh said she felt ‘fantastic’ being a model for the day as it ‘was good fun’,” her mum Kerry told Models Direct. “The best thing about the day’s assignment was at the end of the photo shoot the six children chose a fancy dress costume to wear, danced in it, played with balloons, party poppers and bouncy balls – lots of fun!”

Shae-Love’s mum Selina confirmed that the assignment was really fun for all involved.

“Another great assignment,” Selina said. “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 makeup and hair done, which she loved.”
