MODELUP™

Where presence meets power — and beauty is more than skin deep.

WHAT IS MODELUP™ 

ModelUP™ is a seasonal modeling program designed to build confidence through movement, presence, and camera readiness. This is not a drop-in class or a quick photoshoot. It’s structured training with time to practice, integrate, and show up differently — on and off camera.

Led by Robyn Ryan
International runway and editorial model with 20+ years of experience in fashion, beauty, and personal branding. Known for her signature walk, grounded presence, and ability to translate confidence into movement.

The Program
Intro to Modeling Mastery

This 4-week core curriculum (spanning 8 weeks total for practice and photo time) is designed to teach you the foundations every model needs — whether you’re stepping into your first photo shoot or returning to the runway with renewed confidence.

What You’ll Learn

Week 1 — Walk & Confidence Lab

  • Runway fundamentals: posture, alignment, pacing, and turns
  • Walking with intention and ease
  • Confidence-building through repetition and body awareness

What to Bring — Week 1: Walk & Confidence Lab

To get the most out of your first session, please arrive prepared with the following:

  • Shoes:
    • Women: Heels you can comfortably walk in (2–4 inches recommended).
    • Men: Clean dress shoes or fashion sneakers suitable for runway walking.
      Bring a second pair if you’re unsure — we’ll guide you.
  • Clothing:
    • Fitted, movement-friendly outfit (leggings, jeans, or trousers + fitted top).
    • Avoid oversized or restrictive clothing.
  • Hair & Makeup:
    • Clean, simple, and natural. This is about movement and posture, not glam.
  • Optional:
    • Water bottle
    • Notebook or phone notes (for corrections and cues)
  • No need to be perfect — just ready to move, learn, and show up.

Week 4 — Guided Professional Photo Shoot
