My Vision for UD Model Academy
I am Udaya Sree Bandaranayaka Professional Model, Actor, International Judge, Motivational Speaker, Police Officer, and Model Coach.
I began my professional modelling journey in 2012, and today I have more than 14 years of experience in the national and international modelling and pageant industry.
Throughout my journey, I have gained valuable experience not only as a model, but also as an international contestant, judge, coach, and mentor. I have experienced the challenges, opportunities, discipline, and dedication that are required to build a successful career in this industry.
That is why I created UD Model Academy in Bandarawela
My dream is to build a bridge between Bandarawela and Colombo, giving talented young people from our area the opportunity to enter the modelling and fashion industry with proper knowledge, confidence, discipline, and professional guidance.
I want to guide newcomers and help them understand where a modelling career begins, how to build confidence, how to work in front of the camera, how to develop runway skills, how to prepare for national and international pageants, and how to present themselves professionally.
There are many opportunities in the national and international modelling and pageant industry. My responsibility is to share the knowledge and experience I have gained throughout my own journey and help the next generation move forward with confidence.
I am a strong believer in hard work, consistency, discipline, and self-confidence.
I believe that when you have a clear dream, work hard, remain consistent, and never give up, you can achieve great things.
My Message to Parents and Students
Dear parents and students,
Believe in your children. Believe in their dreams. And believe in the journey.
Before choosing a modelling academy, look at the experience, knowledge, achievements, and professionalism of the person who is going to guide you.
I invite you to learn about my journey and my experience, and then make your decision with confidence.
At UD Model Academy, we focus on developing the complete personality of a model, including:
Discipline and professionalism
Confidence development
Camera confidence and camera skills
Runway and catwalk skills
Grooming and personal presentation
Makeup guidance
Styling and fashion knowledge

Professional guidance for entering the modelling industry
My goal is not simply to teach someone how to walk on a runway.
My goal is to help build confident, disciplined, professional individuals who can step into the modelling world with knowledge and purpose.
If you have a dream of becoming a model, actor, pageant contestant, or fashion professional, this could be the beginning of your journey.
