Models Direct is a modelling agency that takes on all types of models, including pets. The agency recently won two pet modelling assignments with repeat client Refinery Photography.

Refinery Photography turned to Models Direct when they needed animal models for a photoshoot to provide images for home magazine Kleeneze.

For the first assignment, Rudi the cat and Enrique the dog were chosen to pose underneath a Christmas tree wearing Christmas accessories for pets. They didn’t seem to mind that it was a few months! Rudi’s owner, Joanne, must have been overjoyed when she got the call from one of Models Direct’s coordinators, just one day after registering her pretty cat!

Joanne enjoyed her cat’s first modelling experience. “We were made to feel extremely comfortable,” she informed Models Direct. “Rudi, if he could speak, would say he enjoyed it – he was purring all the way through.”

Models Direct encountered some problems on the second assignment with Refinery Photography when they realised they didn’t have a white West Highland Terrier on their database, especially as the photoshoot was scheduled for the next day. However, ever dedicated to fulfilling a client’s request, Models Direct did some research and managed to find a breeder in the area.

Despite not having been photographed professionally before, June assured Models Direct that her dog Polly was very well trained and would be able to take part. After the assignment, Models Direct asked June for her feedback.

“Everything was handled very professionally,” June explained. “Polly enjoyed her time although she was a little distracted due to the noise. Everything was made simple and clear.”

Models Direct have dealt with numerous pet modelling assignments. While dogs and cats are most common, they also take on more exotic animals. If you think your pet would be perfect for modelling keep an eye out for Models Direct’s top tips for starting your pet’s modelling career.
