Must read

Kristine Subrovska was scouted at just 11 years old while Christmas shopping in Dublin.

Dublin based The Model Method proclaims itself as a game changing coaching agency that’s rapidly revolutionising the model industry.

It is co-founded by Latvian born Dubliner Kristine Subrovska, who has overcome extraordinary obstacles to help set up the pioneering agency.

Kristine was scouted at just 11 years old while Christmas shopping in Dublin.

Pulled into the modelling world by a well-known Irish agency, she quickly discovered a far darker reality behind the glamour.

“I was manipulated, gaslit, and pressured into legal bindings, and faced stalking, harassment, and exploitation disguised as opportunity,” the 20-something reveals.

Years later, she is still entangled in legal battles to ensure her safety.

Despite these hardships, Kristine built an extraordinary modelling career, working with global brands like No7 and Lancôme and appearing in international magazines.

She starred in campaigns, creative projects, and even a short film in honour of George Michael’s Freedom! ’90.

Determined to break free, Kristine transitioned to freelance modelling and eventually became an award-winning entrepreneur.

Now, her passion lies in mentoring others, helping aspiring models navigate the industry safely while protecting their well-being.

“The Model Method has quickly made waves across social platforms, landing models exciting, high-profile jobs and opening doors to endless opportunities,” explains Kristine.

“Whether you’re an aspiring model looking to break into the industry or a seasoned pro ready to level up, we are here to help you shine brighter than ever.

“It is led by myself and award-winning photographer Rhi.

“Our mission is simple: to provide a supportive and professional network where models and clients can thrive.”

She adds that the agency offers tailored coaching, strategic social media guidance, and insider tips to help aspirants not only navigate but dominate the competitive world of modelling.

“From runway training to brand-building strategies, we’re committed to fostering growth, success, and long-lasting career,” she beams.

“At The Model Method, we don’t just create models—we create empowered, confident individuals who are ready to conquer the spotligh.”

Rhianna Malone Cannon (26) has transformed her life in ways few can imagine.

Once weighing 31 stone, she used food as a coping mechanism for a traumatic childhood marked by abuse.

But instead of letting her past define her, Lusk woman Rhi found the strength to take control of her future.

Her journey to health wasn’t just physical—it was emotional and mental, as she learned to heal from her pain and rebuild her life.

Today, Rhi is an award-winning photographer and the co-founder of the thriving model coaching agency, working with some of the biggest names in the industry.

Her artistic eye has captured campaigns for global brands and major stars, showcasing her ability to turn visions into breathtaking imagery. Rhi’s success goes beyond her talent behind the camera.

She now uses her platform to empower others, coaching aspiring models to find their confidence and shine in front of the lens.

Among the models here is Amy Maples, from Blanchardstown, is quickly making her mark in the world of modelling and beyond.

Though she has only recently embarked on her modelling journey, her natural beauty and vibrant energy have already captured the attention of many.

With a bright future ahead, this beautiful and talented young woman is certainly one to watch, with exciting opportunities on the horizon.

Diana Baies (23), also from Blanchardstown, has already worked with top brands like Femme Luxe, BPerfect, and BBold, with an upcoming feature on a top artist’s album cover.

Her rise in the industry is impressive, but her journey is deeply personal.

Four years ago, Diana lost her beloved Auntie Anna to cancer.

As her primary caregiver, Anna raised Diana with unconditional love, instilling courage and teaching her to believe in herself.

“Everything I achieve today is because of her,” Diana reflects, crediting her aunt’s influence for her success. Diana now channels that strength into her work and passions.

Beyond modelling, she’s travelled to 18 countries, studies online at Yale University, and supports causes like Pieta House.

Carla Fleming (33), from Skerries and now living in Rush, has faced more challenges than most, but her resilience and determination have shaped her into a true inspiration.

Growing up with a single mum who worked tirelessly to make ends meet, Carla learned the value of hard work early on.

At the age of 18, she moved out to stand on her own, and by 20, she was a young mum of two, navigating parenthood while finding her own path.

For 14 years, Carla was in a committed relationship and engaged, believing her future was set.

But six years ago, her world shifted, and she found herself as a single parent, learning to rebuild her life from scratch.

Despite the heartbreak, Carla refused to let adversity define her. She worked three jobs at one point to keep her family afloat, pushing through exhaustion to provide stability for her children.

In 2023, Carla took a leap of faith and pursued her passion for fitness and modelling, completing three photo shoots and stepping into a world she once only dreamed of.

Now working at a gymnastics club and preparing to become a personal trainer, she channels her energy into inspiring others.

A lover of the outdoors and a believer in simplicity, Carla’s “less is more” philosophy mirrors her approach to life: strength, grace, and determination to overcome any obstacle.

Lauryn Fitz may be new to the modelling scene, but she has already caught the eye of the Model Method scouting team, who stress that she proves that raw talent and potential shine through no matter the experience level.

With a natural elegance and a striking presence, Blanchardstown lass Lauryn is a fresh face with incredible promise.

From a young age Gabrielle Pav says always been driven by a deep passion for fitness and a vision to inspire others to unlock their fullest potential.

“As an online coach, I’ve had the privilege of guiding others toward their best selves, but there was always a part of me that dreamed of stepping into the spotlight—of becoming a model,” explains Gabrielle, from Lucan.

“ Inspired by the grace, confidence, and strength of icons like Adriana Lima and the Victoria’s Secret Angels, I began to believe that my own dreams were within reach.

“My journey didn’t start in front of a camera; it began in the gym, where I built the discipline, resilience, and self-belief that would carry me far beyond what I ever imagined.

“Modelling is more than just a career for me; it is the realisation of a lifelong dream—a manifestation of all the hard work, dedication, and unwavering belief that I could achieve something extraordinary.”
