Welcome to my portfolio!

SEND ALL CONACT TO: sarahsportfolio@hotmail.com NOT to the above links

I'm a Sydney based actor and model who works very hard to achieve! I study acting at NIDA and have completed 3 other acting courses. I have been on literally hundreds of photo shoots and I come alive in front of the camera!

My passion is acting and modelling. Let my passion be your advantage. Within a year I was in dozens of magazines nationally and internationally, on commercials, TV shows and making headlines as the newspaper cover story.

People who know me know I would rather perform than anything else in this world! I have learned so much and had so much fun since I started and I have been working my tail off to get where I am today. But this is just the tip of the iceberg for me; I aim high and I will put the effort in to achieve even more! Please read on to find out why I am suitable for your next project:

* I am unique. There is no one whose look is like mine. This has been my advantage let it be your company’s advantage. * I am exotic, fresh, edgy and rememberable. * I have good old fashioned manners! * My body is fit and perfectly proportioned. I work as a Clothing Fit Model for various Australian clothing labels due to being a perfect size 8. My skin is soft with a golden glow and my face is perfectly smooth. Most make up artists say that I have a great face to work with. * I always put effort into looking my best; my nails, hair and tan are always fresh! (I never show up with chipped nail polish) * Photography and film is an art. I work to create masterpieces; intelligent and creative. * I have a great work ethic and I work hard, at the same time I like to have fun and try out ideas. * I am very active in front of the camera. Most of my shoots have been styled by me. I have a natural talent for coming up with themes for shoots and knowing what looks good on camera. * I have a passion for photography and post production also. I have done a lot of behind the scenes work on photo shoots. (View my references).

To whom it may concern:I am pleased to write this letter of recommendation for Sarah Balkham. Sarah works with for me in her role as a Chap City model. She began modelling for Chap City in 2003 and continues to serve with increasing skill.During Sarah's service with us I admired her for her many valuable qualities, and regarded her with evermore respect. Very much a team player, Sarah is always punctual. She is dedicated to her work and the job at hand.Sarah has demonstrated from early in her tenure that she understood what business is all about. She is well organized. She was quite aware of the bottom line, gives creative input and has an easy going nature. I suppose doing well in business is easy if you are, as she is, driven by quality. In closing, let me say I have no hesitation in recommending Sarah Balkham for any supervisory position in a photo shoot or as model/stylist. I feel confident she would be an asset to your organization.Sincerely,Anita Zazula Company Owner: Chap City

There are so many threads heaping praise on Sarah B, I'm not sure the board isn't going to collapse under the weight of them, but I feel compelled to add my own none the less.I had the good fortune to work with Sarah last Sunday and I have to say she brings so much to the shoot (and I don't mean her legendary wardrobe). Sarah's energy, ideas, figure, expressions, range of poses, ability to take direction & fantastic attitude make her a dream to work with.If these images don't do her justice I can say with certainty, the problem is with the one behind the camera, not the one in front of it.Phil Chaplin (Azuth) on Oz Model forum I

t was my pleasure to have Sarah Balkham model for Blueprint Studios recently. She brought an unexpected bout of enthusiasm and creativity to our shoot which is most welcome in a creative environment such as ours. She came to us with her own ideas and outfits which were more than suitable for the look we were trying to achieve, but was also submissive to our stylists predetermined ideas and styles. As a model, she was very receptive to any direction I gave her and was subtle enough to change positions or expressions to just what I was looking for. She also held herself without direction and was extremely confident in performing her own ideas of look and pose.Sarah exudes a warmth and brightness of spirit that comes across in the final photos. It was a pleasure to meet her and we will definitely be keeping her in mind for future modelling work at our studio.Kurt SneddonDirector/Photographer - Blueprint Studios
