Models Direct’s quest? To bring modelling opportunities to everyone! That vision has been driving our dream for over thirty years, and we continue to enjoy our models’ and clients’ successes.
Diversity, inclusion and belonging are valued at our core, sparking and enabling us to do good for our models, clients and communities. In today’s reading we’re celebrating models with disabilities and how their game-changing perspective towards taking on new experiences and challenges with professionalism, ‘yes first’ mentality and ‘can do’ attitude is winning them the recognition they deserve in the modelling industry.
Let’s shine the spotlight on our male and female models who have been hired for modelling assignments through our team, and how they felt about their experience.
Darren was booked for the Business Disability Forum, and his wife had a lot of positive feedback to share:
“Respectful and Amazing…
My husband went on a shoot with Models Direct today. He had the time of his life!! Bearing in mind, he has a disability that makes it hard to walk, he met his liaison this morning and it was plain sailing from there!! All (disabled) models were treated with the utmost respect, all needs were met and a fun but exhausting time was had by all. Communication has been brilliant throughout and even though the shoot was at an airport, everything was organised so well, there was no time for nerves. Would TOTALLY recommend Models Direct to all ages/abilities! Thank you!!”
This experience took place back in June 2024, and it’s not the first time Business Disability Forum has been in contact with us for our talent. Our models have worked with them in the summer of 2023 too!
Leanne was there, amongst some of our other female and male models on the previous project. This is what she filled us in with about her day on set:
“Rated 5 out of 5 stars.
I had the best experience on set this week, I absolutely loved every minute of it and I couldn’t stop smiling! Thank you so much Models Direct for this amazing opportunity, for believing in me and trusting me to professionally represent you. I was made to feel so welcome, by all the production team and I instantly felt really comfortable and at ease.
- Your child is truly unique – which is why they might be perfect at modelling!
- Opening Modelling Opportunities for Individuals with Disabilities
- Age Positive Modelling
- What kind of pet modelling jobs are available?
- Families, We Need You!
As a wheelchair model, I can face many barriers and obstacles, I can honestly say that I was treated with the utmost dignity and respect at all times and they were really accommodating and understanding towards all my needs!
I participated in a number of different scenes and scenarios, all based around disability inclusion in the workplace. I was the first model on set, so the initial tasks were individually completed by myself…
It was great to meet and work alongside the other models. Everyone was so lovely, making this a really memorable experience! Thank you again Models Direct, I can’t wait to see the final cuts from this shoot and I look forward to working with you again soon..”
