Hi Dene,

We would like to thank you for your contribution to Mia’s development. I know that it played a big role in her success. You are a great role model and mentor for young women.

Hi Dene,

I can’t thank you enough for the efforts you have put into my daughter. The results after only 6 months are incredible.

She started only 6 months ago having very little knowledge on modelling and adamant she was not ever doing ‘Cat Walk’. Anything outside her comfort zone creates anxiety.

Little by little with your guidance and support she grew, made some lifelong friends and in December they conquered the ‘Cat Walk’ together with pride at their graduation.

We were so proud and the girts were ecstatic, looking forward to their next show. Thank you Dene, confidence for life.

Hi Dene.

I was doing life admin this morning and came across the written recommendation you wrote for me in 2013. You wrote such kind and encouraging words, and it has really lifted my spirit. Thank you so much for all you did for me during those modeling days and training I had with you. I hope you are well xxx.

Dene is amazing, she builds positive, confident, and classy young people. I can’t thank her enough xxx

My daughter has been with Dene Selby modelling for 2 years and in that time she has learnt so much about all aspects of modelling from makeup/skincare to catwalk/photo shoots as well as conversation skills.

With Dene’s guidance and encouragement, my daughter’s confidence has grown. We would definitely recommend Dene Selby modelling!

February 3, 2023

Big thank you to Dene for her caring and professionalism. My daughter has truly enjoyed training, runways, photo sessions, make up sessions…

It was an amazing experience and introduction to a modelling.

You are an amazing person Dene, I appreciate everything that you have done for us.

Good afternoon Dene,

Just wanted to say a special thank you to yourself and Dhrumit for the beautiful show yesterday!

Your hard work definitely showed through all the students.

Dene what an outstanding end of year show yesterday.

I Just wanted to send a big Thank You for giving Izabelle the opportunity to participate in the photo shoot on Sunday.
She went in shaking with nerves and came out with the biggest smile and a spring in her step. She thoroughly enjoyed it and can’t wait to see how the pictures turned out. We are all excited to see them.
You really work wonders with these girls Dene, and I just want to let you know that we appreciate you and everything you do. Have a wonderful Day.
Kind Regards

Excellent and wonderful motivator for the personal development of young people.

April 8, 2020

Wonderful caring environment Dene provides for Melanie. This is her safe place she often tells me.

Mels confidence is growing and developing self esteem. Thank you Dene Selby xx

March 4, 2020

I’ve worked with Dene to promote my brand Ocean Remedy. Dene is the consummate professional, as are her models.

She fosters wonderful, thoughtful, confident young humans who are adaptable and will always put their best foot forward for your brand or project. Only praise. ?✨

July 20, 2019

My daughter has multiple disabilities but Dene took the time and noticed straight away that she would learn with visual signals.
We did work very long with Dene and Tia did ECO Fashion Week Australia 2018 and what she has learnt has helped her In her everyday life as well.
Dene is an amazing teacher

June 20, 2019

Dene Selby is my daughters mentor, she is a true professional who I respect and trust whole heartedly with my child, Taylah.
Dene is a positive influence who has guided Taylah for the last 3 years from transitioning from the country to the city in her teenage years to become a beautiful confident young lady. Thank you Dene.

May 16, 2019

I met Dene over 25 years ago when I enrolled my daughter who was very shy at the time who ended up doing many major shows and lost her shyness.
My daughter has also had her son and daughter attended for several years.
Dene’s experience in the modelling industry nationally and internationally really shows and has trained many successful top models as well as young men and women who now have confidence, good edict skills, dress sense, job skills, and respect for themselves and others.
I would highly recommend Modeling Perth to all ages, males, and females, boys and girls.

May 4, 2019

I have worked with many modelling schools in Perth throughout my career as a makeup artist and in my opinion, the quality of Dene’s teaching and experience is second to none.
I have observed the way in which she works closely with both the students and their families to not only bring out their potential in modelling, but enhance their confidence and give the students valuable life skills that they will use for the rest of their lives.
If you are looking for the best modelling school in Perth, look no further!

April 30, 2019

I have privileged to work with Dene Selby last two years.
Her support to International Eco Fashion Week was just incredible with her extremely well trained models has passed our expectations at international Runways.
Dene has also trained our volunteer models during the year whom never had any modelling experience before.
Working with Dene was and always has being such a pleasure as well as her amazing modelling team.
If you are working with Dene, consider yourself very lucky as she is such an amazing and passionate professional, great teacher, mentor as well as lifelong friend.

April 30, 2019

Dene is a fantastic operator that really knows her stuff.

April 30, 2019

Last two years I have had the pleasure of working with this amazing lady who was such a courage and support to Eco fashion week Australia. Dene ‘s modelling Team was incredibly professional and well trained and run last two years international efwa runways for a week, which was a long busy event under pressure.

Dene has also trained our volunteer models who have never had any training before up to International standards during the year regular weekends. She is just incredible, super helpful, and professional. If you have Dene onboard call yourself very lucky ? and someone you can always consider a life-long great friend.

April 27, 2019

My daughter Sarah started with Dene at the beginning of last year. Sarah was very shy and was being bullied at school and on social media. She had no confidence or self-esteem. Dene has helped Sarah so much and in so many ways. Sarah’s confidence has grown, she is more open and talks a lot more.

Dene isn’t all about modelling but also shows the girls etiquette, the right clothes to wear for their age, how to apply makeup, teaches the girls to love their bodies, be confident and grateful. She teaches the girls skills that last a lifetime. I definitely recommend Denes Modeling to anyone.

April 24, 2019

Dene Selby is very approachable to all types of people. She has an ability to bring out the absolute best in all her students. I was once a student of hers, and after nearly 30 years, Dene still finds me regular work.
My two daughters have also been taught the etiquette, poise, and confidence like myself by Dene.
She has made me the confident person I am today.

April 23, 2019

I started modelling with Dene when I was two and a half years old.
Over the past 16 years I have learned so much with Dene, from etiquette to style and, of course, modelling.
This has helped grow my confidence in myself, which has helped with many situations including my studies.
I have recently worked with international designers parading with ECO fashion and have had so much fun doing portfolio shoots.

Dene is passionate about increasing confidence and self-esteem with her students and encourages them as they have fun modelling.
She is truly invested in the lives and futures of every one of her students and maintains contact with students who have left to further their careers elsewhere.
From the past 16 years with Dene, I have become more confident and more knowledgeable about those things that seem trivial until they aren’t – from eating with chopsticks and knowing which item of cutlery to use, to knowing which colours suit myself and how to better look after my skin, nails and hair. If you are looking for a modelling school where you will learn, grow, and enjoy yourself, you have found it.

April 21, 2019

The best thing we have ever done.
My daughter Ella has been with Dene this year for one Term.
Her confidence is growing, made some great friends, and she had her first photoshoot which was highly professional.
Dene’s classes are fun and you learn different things each week which will help her in the future.
Dene is a caring, compassionate person and knows the industry well.
Highly recommended.

April 19, 2019

My daughter Talisha started with Dene last Year in February. Dene has been so lovely.
Talisha loved her classes with Dene and the girls she met through Dene’s class.
You would not recognise the girl that started a year ago.
She is so much more confident, having a lovely posture, and learning to walk on a catwalk. Dene has also given us so much opportunity.
Introducing us to Eco Fashion Week and from there we were offered the opportunity to go to LA with a local designer.
Talisha was also the wild card winner for Pierrot’s model search this year.
Thanks Dene for all the coaching. Not only about modelling but also about skincare, how to apply makeup and dressing appropriately.

June 10, 2018

I have worked closely with Dene Selby and her models for many years and can say that her ability to train, mentor, and bring out the best in her clients is second to none.

I would highly recommend any parent to enroll there daughters or sons in Dene’s Modeling classes.

January 12, 2016

Dene is the best at what she does… I say this from personal experience. Will highly recommend her to anyone looking to get into modelling.

January 12, 2016

As a photographer, I have used a variety of Dene’s models and talent over the years for fashion and commercial photoshoots. Dene Selby is my agency of choice, due to the wide variety of talent, the attention to detail, the excellent communication, and the reliability and professional attitude of the models.

I can see how supportive and caring Dene is of her models in the way they all rave about her during the photoshoot and I know she always gives them feedback and positive reinforcement after their work with me. Thank you Dene, I have enjoyed the past several years working with you and your team and look forward to many more!

When Azure first entered the Agency she was shy and withdrawn and was finding it hard to find friends. Since being with Dene, Azure has made friends with some lovely young women who have been an encouragement and inspiration to Azure.

I have witnessed Azure develop in Confidence & hold herself Graciously in difficult situations. Azure has become a lot more motivated and organised through the importance Dene places on personal responsibilities, both on the professional scale as a developing model and in private life. The Agency is affordable in today’s standard, Dene wants her services to be reachable.

I have never heard Dene put any emphasis on labels or expensive clothing for the Graduation. In fact, Azure has worn clothes that were already in her wardrobe. Dene has a proven track record of professional development for her students and is of a high calibre. My personal view of Dene is that she is a Generous, Sensitive, and Caring person who is a Great & Inspiring teacher and a woman of beauty inside and out.

January 2, 2016

Dene has been an incredible role model and supporter of Pierrot’s Model Search since our very first event in 2008. I hold Dene in the highest respect giving so much of herself to better her students.

Dene has gone above and beyond to have the best submissions for her students and her students have won & placed on many occasions. Many of her students who are still house models for us have gone on to achieve amazing things in the modelling world. Love Dene beautiful inside and out.

January 2, 2016

My 14 year old daughter has been attending classes with Dene for a year and a half now and recently she said she wished she could go to classes with Dene every day! She just loves it.

Being 14 is not easy and Dene has made it easier for Helena, she helped her to believe in herself and know how beautiful she is, inside and out! I’m so happy to have found these classes as besides teaching Helena how to carry herself it has also enabled her to meet other lovely girls her age and introduced her to the world of fashion. We just went to see the Collette Dinnigan exhibition in Sydney and it was a joy to see how interested she was in it. Well done Dene.

January 2, 2016

I have known Dene a long time throughout my working career, in which I was involved very much in the modelling world. As years went on and I had a daughter who eventually decided she wanted to gain some confidence and do modelling I suggested Dene.

In the years that my daughter was with Dene, I found Dene to be nothing but professional, focused, and nurturing to not only my daughter but to all the students. I would never hesitate to recommend Dene to any child or adult that wants to learn to walk a catwalk, build confidence, and perhaps just learn a little bit of etiquette. You are amazing Dene.

January 2, 2016

I started modelling with Dene over a year and a half ago and I could not recommend her more! She’s had such a positive impact on my life and I’ll always be grateful for the experiences I’ve had through her.

Although I’ve been told by strangers and friends to model my whole life, I was held back by anxieties. After a few months of working with Dene I felt more confident in social situations and in myself. It’s been so nice to gain beautiful relationships with the girls in and out of my class, we have a lot of fun.

Dene holds an array of classes and teaches us a lot of different things that I have found to be very informative and valuable. She treats every student with love and care and can see she has a special place in her heart for all her students, past and present. I love that she is so understanding and wants her students to do the things they are comfortable with. Dene has been such an encouraging, kind and inspiring teacher, I’ve learnt so much through her and I love every class. So much love to you Dene, best model mama ever xx

Dene Selby: Model School, Agency & Image Maker…. is a brilliant institute for creating self-confident, well mannered and articulate young people.

Her training helps to complete the upbringing really lacking in many of today’s schools and lifestyles. Dene Selby helps give each of her students a professional edge, creating a polished image to help each of them shine in their chose endeavors.

January 2, 2016

Dene you are an amazing modelling teacher. Thank you so much for teaching my daughter.

January 2, 2016

I started attending classes with Dene when I was 16 years old. At this age I was still very unsure of myself and insecure.

However, after simply one term with Dene, I not only felt more confident in myself but also learnt a lot of skills and life lessons that are still with me today, that I’ve been able to use in a variety of different situations.

Dene is well educated and highly professional teacher who always ensures each and every one of her students learn the graces of deportment, modelling, etiquette and grooming. I would definitely recommend Dene, as she is by far the best teacher for grooming, deportment, etiquette and modelling in Perth.

January 2, 2016

Very Professional, patience & understanding

January 2, 2016

Good afternoon Dene

Hi Dene,
We appreciate the opportunities you are affording Izzy. Thank you for the time and energy you are spending with her. She absolutely loves modelling and is so lucky to have you mentoring her.
Kind Regards
Kristy

Dene is truly amazing! With her vast experience and wealth of knowledge, she is an amazing Principal…

I’m so incredibly grateful to have had the pleasure of modelling for and working alongside Dene. My Mum first signed me up for classes as a little 13 year old, and now 7 years later I’m so happy to still be modelling with Dene. Classes were always so much fun, and I’ve made so so so many friends both in class and on the job, and I’m still close with many of the friends I made throughout those 7 years. Dene is so kind and patient, and has given me so many opportunities that I’m so grateful for, signing me up for these classes was the best thing my Mum could have done for me! And I’ve recently had the pleasure of working alongside some of Dene’s newer students, and they are the kindest most hard working and dedicated models I’ve ever met. It really is a lovely family here at Dene’s 💓💓

My daughter has been with Dene nearly 4 years now. Dene’s dedication to every student to enhance their potential is amazing, her patience, guidance & knowledge has transformed my daughter.
She’s enjoyed all the different aspects of modelling photo shoots, catwalk and etiquette lessons.
I would recommend Dene Selby Modelling for sure.
