Success Stories

Amaya was so excited to have been one of 4 girls selected to walk the runway at VAMFF 2017 at the Royal Exhibition Building for UK brand 'Next'. This was a wonderful experience; she was fortunate to walk alongside Rebecca Judd and many other amazingly talented adult models. This is a memory Amaya will hold close to her for a long time.

I decided to try StarNow for 6 months and had only been actively setting up my profile in the last couple of weeks when a Casting director contacted me via private message to offer me a acting role in a Feature Film. A very positive start with StarNow.

After applying to represent NZ at WCOPA 2011 and receiving a raft of gold medals, it put my career back on track. Dreams can become reality, you just need to take the steps to make it happen. I've had a write up in a national magazine & Marlaina's Kitchen FB Page now has 24k followers. 'A Seasoning' will be released 2016.

I found a model search on StarNow (Cosmopolitan Model Search). I entered it, got accepted into it, went to the heat, and made it to the finals! That was my goal. But then I also made it to nationals. I am so happy to say I was one of three winners of the Cosmopolitan Model Search. I won both national and international contracts.

After joining StarNow I managed to get into an acting agency and now I've been offered to play the role of the young Bernie Mac who was an amazing American comedian who died in 2008. The show will be about his life and I can't wait to be a part of it.

I have been cast as a support role in a short film and was cast in two Channel V commercials as well as various modelling work. StarNow has really helped me pursue a career in acting and modelling and get further experience in the industry.

In the last month I have been lucky enough to model at an international hair show, was a runway model at the Bendigo Fashion Show for Jacqui E, became a fantasy character for a book release trailer, was an extra in a movie and modelled in a beautiful wedding style shoot!

I have managed to build on my long military career to advise on a multitude of high-profile films and TV series. My production experience includes Fury and the BBC’s War and Peace, Jason Bourne and Justice League. Currently working on Death of Stalin, The Last Post, the Crown series 2 and Murder on the Orient Express.

I stepped into the shoes of The Gingerbread Man for a Santa parade casting! I had an amazing time walking the parade, followed by two meet & greet sessions — it was incredibly hot but I loved every second of it! Being able to make children smile brings me joy and is a little piece of success in my eyes. I can't wait to suit operate again!

Through my agency and StarNow I used my unique look to my advantage and it paid off. I've had amazing experiences because of StarNow and shut down the haters who thought I couldn't make it as a model. Thank you for picking me as StarNow Model of the Week, I never thought I would get this far!

As well as an internationally-touring ballerina, I also choreograph my own award-winning routines, show off my more athletic side as an Adidas model, my love of coffee in the new global Nespresso campaigns as well as my passion for fashion as Amanda Wakeley's new Wakeley Woman! I'll soon be featuring in BBC2's "Secrets of the Human Body".
