Introduction to Modelling in NZ and Australia...



You think you would like to be a model? Well I don’t blame you as it looks very exciting and glamorous with lots of international travel to exotic locations wearing top designers clothes and paid lots of money! Who wouldn’t want that!

But unfortunately the way to the top is simply a lot of hard work. But then so are most things in life. So if you want something badly enough you have to be prepared to give it your all. Because life is not about someone else coming along and handing it all to you on a silver plate, you must go out and do all that you have to, to turn your dream into reality.

Before you embark on attaining a career in modelling please read this blog as it will help you decide whether or not you really want to become a model or if you would like to do the DS Model Camp for Teens or Children’s Course to gain greater self confidence in your grooming that will help you in your everyday life and in your chosen career.

Either way the best place to start is by attending one of the DS Model Camp Courses, as models must work hard to look their best with a healthy diet, regular exercise, a correct skincare regime, makeup application, posture and deportment not to mention how to walk on the runway or how to pose in front of a camera.

Plus correct etiquette, not only in everyday life but when working with other models, your agent, photographers, producers, editors, stylists and makeup and hair artists.

These same attributes that you must learn to be successful in the modelling industry also serve you well for whatever career you chose.

For instance Melodie Robinson who started her modelling career with me by attending one of my teen courses, then she went onto win Miss Canterbury and 3rd runner-up in Miss New Zealand and along the way she did a lot of modelling for me. But Melodie’s main goal was to become and TV Sports presenter, which is exactly what happened, as Melodie is now the top female Sports Reporter for SKY TV. But Melodie used her modelling experience and grooming to help her achieve her goal.

Adelle Kenny was the same, she was 13 when she attended my Modelling Course and I discovered her. Adelle won Miss Marlborough, Miss New Zealand and was 3rd runner-up in Miss World as well as winning the Queen of Asia and Oceania title. Adelle had a very successful modelling career that took her to modelling in Milan, Italy. Eventually Adelle opened her own model agency and now teaches others how to dress for success!
Carolyn Kirby was the same and is still going strong today modelling in Sydney. In fact you can see Carolyn on the SpecSavers advertisement currently on TV. Carolyn started her modelling while still at high school and attending the Teen Modelling Course. Carolyn since had and still does have a very successful international modelling career and she does get flown to exotic locations.

Vicki Cox did not want to be a model, until she did the Teen Modelling Course. After which she started modelling for me and still to this day Vicki is a sought after model in all of Europe’s capital cities.
But others like Aaron Keown one of my very successful male models became a very popular and well known model in Asia. He is now a Christchurch City Councillor helping Christchurch earthquake recovery.

Roy Snow started out modelling for me and then became a famous actor on stage TV as well as a fabulous singer.

Many of my child models made so much money starring on TV Commercials that set them up for going to University such as Maddy Breenes, Joseph Waters, Sam McPherson and little Amy Giles.
Often when I am flying whether nationally or internationally on one airline or another one of my former students will come up to me as they used their Teen Model Course training to help them become an Air Stewardess. 

Many of my students now work in hotels, real estate, employment services, media, fashion and beauty industries and work all around the world.

So whether you are choosing to attend the DS Model Camp to become a successful international model or not, you will gain invaluable knowledge and experience and have fun along the way!

I look forward to meeting you at the next DS Model Camp!
