About

At Model 101, we believe talent is only the beginning.
Founded by photographer, mentor, and industry professional Lisa Brown, Model 101 was created to help aspiring models, actors, and content creators gain the confidence, knowledge, and professional tools needed to pursue opportunities in today's competitive industry.
For more than 18 years, Lisa has worked with models, actors, designers, photographers, and industry professionals across the United States. Through her work at fashion weeks, talent competitions, portfolio development events, and national industry connections, she has seen firsthand what separates those who simply dream from those who take action.
Model 101 was built to bridge that gap.
Whether you're completely new to modeling or looking to take your career to the next level, Model 101 provides guidance in portfolio development, posing, runway skills, social media branding, professionalism, casting preparation, and personal growth. Our goal is not to change who you are—it's to help you discover and develop the best version of yourself.
We welcome children, teens, and adults from all backgrounds and experience levels. No prior modeling or acting experience is required.
