Meet Pauline Schueller
Pauline considers herself a sports freak - which you can see in her sculpted physique. Her passion for and discipline towards fitness sets the structure for her daily routine to achieve both a strong body and a clear mind. As such, it is no surprise that she has worked for brands such as Puma, C&A, and Joy Magazine. Pauline’s favourite memories on shoots always include the creativity, the upbeat atmosphere and bonding team spirit - as well as the catering! In addition to her modelling, Pauline is also an economics student, which gives her another way to balance the mind and the body.

“So far, I’ve been to many places where I’ve not only been a tourist, but I’ve kind of lived there - it’s a different experience, and is so bold for me.” - Maria Matakova
How Ubooker helps prevent late payments
One of the most common topics of conversation when models get together is that of late payments. It’s a recurring theme and ongoing issue these days. As models themselves, the founders of Ubooker understand these issues, as they have experienced it all themselves. It is to address this very issue that Ubooker has developed a cohesive platform that streamlines and digitalises these processes - meaning that receiving payments becomes a much faster and almost seamless system. Watch Claudia’s interview on this subject for more insight.

Meet Andrea Tausan
During our shoot at London’s Spring Studios, Andrea told us a bit about her pre-modelling days. “Before this, I was a competitive swimmer and I played piano for 10 years at the Royal Conservatory of Music - I miss it!” Andrea is also obsessed with cooking and tries to cook every day. Her favorite memory on a photo shoot is the time she got to shoot with her sister. Stayed tuned this week to see more from Andrea.

Meet Céline Veller
“I think that modelling was more real before social media came along” - Celine
This French belle’s looks and personality definitely classify her as regal. Celine is wise, elegant, thoughtful and, of course, beautiful! Once we met Celine we immediately knew there was something special about her. She shared more of her story with us as we got to know her better over a coffee during our time together last November. Celine has worked for Lancome, Dior, Promod, KODD Magazine, Boutique Arthur, Dadasport and more. She loves to horse ride, swim, play football and her favourite downtime activity is interior decorating. During her interview, Celine talks about how she thinks social media has changed modelling, and what she thinks about this. She highlights how she sees that modelling has unfortunately become about portraying an unreal life on social media. The importance brands put on influencers and bloggers has drastically shifted the way that fashion brands market their products. Want to hear more? Click to watch her full interview.
Meet Benita Karaliunaite
Late November 2018, we put together a production with a team of talented people including photographer Gianluca Santoro and former Vogue editor Belen Antolin.

Whilst Benita was on set, we got to catch up with her and ask her a few things about her experience as a model. Watch her interview and hear about her most and least favourite thing about modelling, and the one thing she wishes for to improve the industry.
