FOR ASPIRING MODELS TO BREAK INTO THE INDUSTRY · FOR ESTABLISHED MODELS TO OWN THEIR CAREERS
MODEL COACHING
Over my years of experience working in the industry as a photographer and a talent booker, I've seen first hand how there isn't enough resources and guidance available for models. Whether signed to an agency or not, the vast majority of models starting in the industry are not aware of expectations and best practices for the short and long terms of their careers.
Understanding the industry is key for models to be confident in their careers and be able to invest that knowledge into expanding their client roster, tapping into a different market at different times of their lives and adapting their profile and portfolio to the different needs of a constantly demanding and very competitive market.
My coaching is a 360 approach that takes into account each individual situation and goals, and provide the tools and guidance for them to confidently take the reins of their own decisions and autonomy in the industry.
In our sessions we will focus on...
· Portfolio Review
· Development
· Industry Expectations
· Self-branding, USP's
· Rates & Negotiation
· Goals & Progress Tracking
· Management

​
Rachel Peru is a Model, Body Activist and Presenter. She first stepped into the industry at 46, landing her first job alongside Ashley Graham. It launched her career and she has been making strides for womens representation ever since.
We first started working together about 7 years ago: initially as one of Rachels influencer bookers at BRIDGE, and over the years we’ve also been on set together a million times. We bonded from the get-go and have built a great respect and friendship!
We’ve had so many interesting conversations about the industry, the difficulties, the diversity (or lack of) and always shared the same vision and approach of doing things differently and carving out your own path. Bouncing ideas and trusting each other.
We’ve always said anyone listening would find these super useful and now we’ve put our heads together to expand that conversation into a masterclass focused at anyone who wants to start but doesn’t know how to. There’s so much we want to share we had to split it up into two parts (sold together)!
