ModelAct Durban

ModelAct brings you a workshop that covers everything you need to know about embarking on a modelling and acting career.

This workshop is led by local top models and beauty queens who have worked internationally and graced the covers of many a magazine.

They will cover everything from the dos and don’ts in the industry - to casting- to developing a character - to posing - to what to wear and how to wear it - and more importantly how to use that knowledge with confidence and humility.

As no stranger to fashion, film and photography, Top International Model Sam Pegg was in Vogue Magazine at the age of 13. Sam has modelled for the likes of Armani, Yves Saint Laurent, Cacharel, L'Oreal, Emanuel Kahn, Emmanuel Ungaro, Watermen Pens & Mondi.

Jay Alexander took Sam under his wing to teach her the do's & don'ts of runway. New York based Kithe Brewster, stylist to the stars, appointed her to liaise with the Parisian fashion houses, acting as his representative. Additionally, being a life coach, she offers a more wholistic approach to coaching.  Sam has always had a passion for healthy cooking and plans, soon, to publish a cookbook - containing her delicious, mouth-watering healthy recipes!

Gracing the covers of magazines, globally, Martéz Saporta-Rothuysen modelled for fashion catalogues, featured in over a hundred commercials and campaigns, working in London, Austria, Switzerland, Germany, and Spain. During her travels, she attended workshops when not shooting, determinedly honing her craft, and picking up tips to share with her peers. She won Miss Port Elizabeth in 1989 and went on to be one of the top 12 finalists of Miss South Africa that same year. Her passion for seeing individuals grow, was fueled by seeing the hit rate they achieved after attending her modelling and acting workshops. True to her entrepreneurial spirit, she ran a successful child chaperoning business supplying medically trained child minders for film sets.

Martéz has always had a passion for acting and growing the industry. She has coached privately and at ACT Cape Town for many years. With her modelling and TV experience and a few films under her belt, it made sense to share what she had learnt over the years. Martéz holds a gold medal certificate of merit in performance through LAMDA, and has completed many producing, acting and script writing workshops through local and international learning institutions. She has produced a few award-winning short films as well as securing the first interview with the late Dr Marius Barnard, after he took a break from the media for many years. Martéz wrote, produced, and directed the short documentary for The Heart of Cape Town Museum.

“Having experienced many sides of the industry, we look forward to answering your questions!”

A little bit of a glimpse into Ronaldo Fourie (Cat 360 Photography), our workshop photographer’s experience and fun-to-be-around personality!

“I am Ronaldo and I shoot people for a living. No, I am not a highly priced hitman or a gun for hire, although in my past I was a dedicated police officer. I shoot people with my camera now.

I am a multi-faceted photographer that will take on any project comfortably, anywhere from a Yacht regatta at sea, to a model portfolio in a jungle to traveling the country.

Work that I have done includes Model portfolios, Weddings, Events, Sporting events, families and travelling shoots. You name it, if I can point my camera at it, I will definitely take it on.

In general, I can be found in Durban, South Africa. I have a camera and am willing to travel the world if needed.”

Ronaldo is extremely creative when planning shoots and although his focus is to capture the perfect image, fun is had by all. His shoots are extremely well planned and laid out with attention given to the finest detail.
