Dreams can become a reality when we possess a vision that is characterized by the willingness to work hard, a desire for excellence, and a belief in our right and our responsibility to be equal members of society.—Janet Jackson
Yes, you can be a model but the chance of becoming a big-time model by using on-line resources, especially if you are not in an A-market, like New York, Los Angeles or Chicago, is slim.
But if you live in the Rocky Mountain West you can have some fun and make a few bucks too if that’s of interest. The first step in launching even a part-time modeling career is putting a portfolio together and we’re glad to help and offer substantial discounts for photo shoots for aspiring models. Just call and tell us that you’re an aspiring model and you might even get a free session. All you have to is ask.
How I Made this Portrait:: I photographed Erin in my home studio using a Lumix GH4 with a Lumix G Vario 14-45mm f/3.5-5.6 lens (at 45mm) and an exposure of 1/125 sec at f/10 and ISO 200. Lighting was provided by a Paul C. Buff DigiBee with Plume Ltd Wafer softbox attached that was placed at camera right. Another DigiBee with an 18-inch OMNI reflector was placed behind a 42 x72-inch Scrim Jim with white translucent cover. In the back (camera left) of my studio, I placed a Paul C Buff Alien Bee with 16 x 30-inch Westcott Apollo Strip soft box. The background was one of Savage’s useful two-sided Monsoon collapsible backdrops.
One of the best tips that I can offer aspiring models is to ask for references from other models about the photographers that they have worked with in the past.
Another tip to is to look at the photographer’s website. Check out the kind of work that he or she does. Is this the kind of image you would like to see made of you? If the photographer doesn’t have a website, uses free on-line sites or even Facebook you might want to check other sources. It’s just like anything else in the on-line world; you should do your homework before making any kind of commitment.
