Hi, I’m Kristen Bartel, a Sydney-based actor, model and content creator.

​

I’m currently building my professional portfolio across screen acting, commercial modelling, lifestyle campaigns, branded content, UGC and presenting. I’m comfortable working across both stills and video, taking direction, repeating actions consistently and creating natural, believable moments on camera.

My modelling portfolio includes corporate, editorial and lifestyle photography across Sydney locations. I’m particularly suited to polished, premium and aspirational campaigns, while still bringing warmth, personality and an approachable quality to the work. I’m also confident creating natural social media and ad-style content, including direct-to-camera delivery, product demonstrations and lifestyle footage.

​

As an actor, I’m drawn to intelligent, emotionally layered women—characters who can be polished, playful, romantic, formidable or quietly dangerous. I enjoy both contemporary and period storytelling, particularly roles that combine humour, vulnerability and strength.

​

My screen training includes NIDA Open’s Screen Actors Studio, with a focus on on-camera performance, scene work, script analysis, subtext, self-taping and responding to direction.

​

I also have a strong physical performance background through several years of figure skating, reformer Pilates and yoga. This has given me flexibility, posture, body awareness and a fluid quality of movement that translates well to fashion, lifestyle and movement-based campaigns.

​

I have experience creating and presenting short-form content for social media and have access to high-quality filming equipment and a polished home location suitable for lifestyle and UGC productions.

I’m professional, collaborative, well prepared and excited to continue working across film, television, commercial, modelling and digital content projects.
