Models Direct 

The modelling industry is bigger than ever before. Every day Models Direct post dozens of new assignments in every niche of modelling. Whether you have experience in body parts modelling, fashion modelling or live modelling, there will be an assignment that suits you perfectly. Models Direct are one of the UK's largest and most established modelling agencies. We are UK Government Regulated and have real offices in Norwich staffed by professional employment consultants. With an eye to 2015, we thought we'd look back on some reviews we had from parents of child models in 2014 and hope that our shared successes will continue to flourish in this new year. As many of you will know, Talent Management are the parent company under which Models Direct operate. More information on this can be found in the video at the bottom of this post! 

"I registered Stanley with Talent Management because everyone kept saying that Stanley is a beautiful baby and that he should get into modelling. I chose Talent Management because they are friendly and professional and are dedicated to their client's needs. I also like the fact that I can track Stanley's progress and update his portfolio online. Stanley has just attended his first photographic shoot on behalf of a company called Kit for Kids, and I have to say it was a great experience! I was a little nervous on arrival as I did not know what to expect but the shoot was professionally run and we received guidance all the way through. The babies were rested when they needed to be and the whole shoot was tailored towards ensuring that the babies were content. Stanley thoroughly enjoyed himself and I had a proud mummy moment watching him smiling and posing for the camera! I would definitely recommend this experience to others."

"Grace loved being a model for a two day photo shoot at a caravan dealership. She was extremely excited beforehand and also when she arrived on set. Grace was directed to do a variety of natural posses with her model family (mum, dad, brother and grandparents) in and out of the caravans and around the holiday area of Skegness. Grace particularly enjoyed being in the caravans and pretending that she was on holiday and showed confidence throughout the whole experience. Grace said that she would recommend being a model to any of her friends and from a parents point of view, the experience has been one that Grace will remember forever and it's been an absolute delight to see her so happy and to have seen her confidence grow in leaps and bounds. I have already recommended Talent Management to a few friends who have asked about how to put their children forward for such experiences. I would like to thank Talent Management for giving Grace such a fantastic opportunity to carry out her ambition of being a model."

Personal Care for Male Models

Models Direct are a leading government regulated employment agency specialising in talent and modelling jobs. Find out more about them on the Models Direct website. Having been around for over two decades they know the industry better than most. Here are some simple tips for male models in their morning rituals.

For any model, your personal care routine is the most important part of the day and in male modelling, a clean shave is often required. Always shave in the direction that the hair grows on your face, this is known as shaving with the grain. Shaving against the grain can cause reddish skin irritation known as razor burn so following your shave, apply a moisturising aftershave balm that doesn't contain oil or alcohol. Oil will clog the pores of the skin, and alcohol will dry it. You will be able to see when the skin is tight and elastic by inspecting your look in a mirror under bright, but not harsh, lighting. Always cleanse your skin with an exfoliating product to remove any dead cells. To prepare your face for shaving, rinse thoroughly with warm water, then use a shaving cream or gel containing vitamin A or Aloe Vera. Vitamin A and Aloe Vera will keep your skin moist and soft.

Always use a new blade for shaving because used blades can pull at the hair and cause cuts as the uneven surface drags over the skin. Also, always shave in the direction that the hair grows on your face (which is known as shaving with the grain). Shaving against the grain can cause reddish skin irritation known as razor burn. Following your shave, apply a moisturising aftershave balm that doesn't contain oil or alcohol. Oil will clog the pores of the skin, and alcohol will dry the skin.

Burn Calories Effortlessly with Models Direct

Models Direct Review Simple Calorie Burning Tips

Models Direct are a leading UK-based modelling agency offering a dedicated service to all of its talent. Here are some tips on how to shed a few calories throughout the day without going to the gym!

Eating spicy foods raises your metabolism. When you sweat a little from a hot curry it’s an indication that your body is working harder, even when at rest, and that means its burning calories.

Models Direct

Waiting for a bus? Sitting in the doctor’s reception? Standing uses more energy than sitting, that doesn’t take a genius to work out! Stand, stretch a little, get your blood flowing and your metabolism active.

Sleep eight hours a night. The less sleep you have, the more fat your body lays away as it slips gradually into an exhausted state and tries to lay away energy to compensate. Sleeping enough and being comfortable during sleep can reduce the fat your body creates.

Get on top of the garden! In the age of rented flats and houses with little care given to the garden, an overgrown mess could be the perfect challenge to set yourself. With a little work, you can not only have a great place to enjoy your evenings but also grow some great healthy food that will add shine to your skin on your next modelling gig.

Naomi Shalom Reflects on her Recent Job through Models Direct

Models Direct are an established UK-based modelling agency offering dedicated service to aspiring talent. 

This is what Naomi had to say about her first day on the job!

"The day in itself was a brilliant success for both myself and the client. I think the team were very pleased with the outcome and were very helpful with directing and communicating what they wanted from the shoot. I felt confident that the client was satisfied and we had a good laugh.the most enjoyable part was wearing the beautiful dresses and being able to act naturally in front of the camera. I was asked to do a variety of poses and expressions and I really enjoyed the relaxed atmosphere we worked in. I would like to say thank you to Avalon for having me and to Molly from Talent Management for being so supportive. I would recommend this to anyone looking to gain professional experience in an artistic career such as modelling. It was the fun, relaxed yet professional atmosphere from today that reminded me why I joined talent management.  Thank you guys!"

Models Direct are one of the longest established agencies in the UK. Here is a fantastic review about our Talent Management services from a recent client in their own words! To sign up with Models Direct visit the Models Direct website.

Vanessa Wong

Hi all,

I was very pleased when I received a call from Talent Management last week, offering me 3 days worth of promotional work in my area on behalf of Adonis (a touring male glamour show).  I was not nervous beforehand as I have a plenty of experience in promotional work, but I was definitely curious as to how the general public would react to this type of event.

Models Direct

Myself and a male model from Talent Management were required to put up a large amount of Adonis posters in shop windows and on the streets of Great Yarmouth (ahead of their show in the area), as well as handing out flyers to female locals and tourists.  We enthusiastically engaged with as many people as possible about the event, with a view to get them to purchase tickets.

I thoroughly enjoyed the assignment - particularly getting into character as somebody who is passionate about male cabaret shows, and seeing women's reactions to the raunchy flyers!

I would recommend promotional work to anyone looking to earn some good money on the side whilst having fun - particularly to those who enjoy social interaction, or are looking to develop those skills.

Signing up with Talent Management is a decision I will never regret. Their clients are some of the biggest, well known and reputable company's in the UK - and it wouldn't be possible to work alongside them without the help and exposure TM offer to their models.  From dealing with the registrations department right up to my booking agent, I have always been satisfied with the high standard of customer service. I can't thank Talent Management enough for their friendly yet professional approach in sourcing me fun and well paid modelling assignments.  Many more to come I hope!

Models Direct Reviews

We have been the most hard working modelling agency in the UK for the past 10 years. Here are two real reviews, one by a male modelling client and one female modelling client about working for our client Level 39. These are real reviews of Models Direct written in their own words. For more information about Models Direct visit their website or Facebook page. You can also read more Models Direct reviews here.

This weekends photo shoot for Level 39 was my first assignment, but I was with my wife Michele so I was not too nervous.  It was great fun!  The other models were really interesting and from diverse backgrounds.  We all got on really well and chatted easily which made any nerves disappear - it was more like hanging out with a bunch of friends.  The client was really friendly too and put everyone at ease.  The photographer was there but not there - you hardly noticed him and this also made the whole experience really relaxed.  I found that I gained lots of confidence throughout the day and I would definitely like to do similar work again.  Thank you!

A fabulous session, I did not anticipate just how enjoyable the experience would be. A few of us stayed behind because we got on so well!

The location had a spectacular view across London. The best part of it was getting paired up and then through just a natural flow of conversation with one another, the session had already got underway!

It was amazing because we were having a conversation with each other without realising that photos were being taken in the background.

Philip was just looking at a casual dining experience with a backdrop of the stunning views behind and various shot preparation of the mise-en place that was prepared for us on the tables.

We were asked to sit and talk at the small tables. Dishes and glasses of wine were then brought out to the tables from the lovely Sarah and we were then asked to keep a conversation going as much as possible. As simple as that!

We then went over to the larger round tables to accommodate for a larger group sitting and were asked to the same throughout with the person sitting next to us. We had a group meeting in one of the more contained private rooms where we asked to perform bodily and gestural type communication whilst paying attention to the lead person at the front when they were communicating back to us.

For Executive type work, I would recommend taking with you a change of clothes as there could be specific scenes required for certain ideas. Also, keeping to a clean, professional attitude throughout as well as paying attention to listening to further instructions from the photographer really helps.
