The Modellè Story

A Message from the CEO


When I started Royalle Modelling in 2008 the industry was very different. The only way you could be a serious model in Australia was if you had the right dimensions, knew the right people and had the right representation.

Diversity wasn’t ‘trending’ back then so it was near impossible to break into the mainstream if you weren’t caucasian. There was no social media back then so the only feedback you would get about your ability to model, was based on the work that you did from people that were in the industry.

Lets just say that the standards where FIERCE and the models who made it, knew that they had to give it their all.

Flash forward to now and the “you’re only as good as your last job” mentality has shifted to “anyone can model” as social media means that followers and the number of likes you get is now a big factor in addition to industry credibility.

Models who have completed under 10 paid commercial shoots/modelling jobs are still very naive as to what is required to be a top Australian model, and break into the international market.

Sadly the market is filled with a lot of snakes, empty promises and a whole lot of models being exploited. To add to this, there isn’t enough being done to develop talent in Australia so I see a lot of models with amazing potential, struggling to achieve the jobs they could be getting due to a lack of training, mentoring and guidance.

I started this academy to cut the BS and teach people the essential fundamentals needed to get to them to their next level. In my line of work, I NEED my models to be world-class. When I get emails from BIG brands all around the world asking if we have any suitable talent to send over, they are asking for models that the best in Australia, who are ready to compete against the best in the world!

Nothing makes me happier than seeing people live their true potential. I really hope that through this academy we’re able to build more international models and people who are living their best lives as their best self.
