Meeting Mr. Groupawn through Social Networking


One thing about Social Networking is that you cross borders leaps and bounds before you even meet face to face. What was once known as a younger generation’s tool to stay plugged in has now become widely used across every generation of reader. Kids beg their parents for Facebook accounts to play games against their friends while parents are begging their kids to teach them how to load Facebook on their iPhones.

There is nothing worse than being the generous & kind photographer that thinks they’re helping out a model by doing a portfolio shoot TF or for a discounted fee – and the model no-shows. It feels much the same as when you hold a garage sale and no one shows up – you pour your sweat & tears into setting it all up, advertising and blocking the time off to be there instead of off having fun with your family and friends. You sit and wait – watching eagerly for the customer to arrive… and […]

MODEL ADVENTURES-“Tips From the Edge”

Modelbanneraug2010

 

When we first started working with models, we learned the hard way that making or updating a model’s portfolio required more than simply a model, a photographer, an expensive camera and some creative know-how. Both the model and the photographer have a lot of preparation to make the best portfolio images.
