To be a Professional photographer it takes a LOT more than a desire. It takes countless hours of promotion, self promotion, education and willingness to learn via bumps, bruises and scrapes. Much like my “So you want to be a model?” series, this will be broken down into several different groups; starting out, halfway there, there and what next. Let’s get right to it.
The dirty on tattoos and modeling. I know this is a touchy subject, but it’s one I want to discuss. Tattoos are a form of self expression, but this blog post will discuss if there’s room for self expression in an industry that sells looks.
At the end of the day making money is what keeps us in business. For photographers, discussing money is a touchy subject since no one likes to talk about it, yet we work to master our craft and should be paid.

lets talk about model preparedness. So far this series has been about what you need to do to get ready for a career in modeling, but the one area I’ve stayed away from is shoot preparedness. I’ve held this off until now for the simple fact this is one of the most important aspects of being a model.
Jenna was one of my first shoots when I moved to CO. I saw her and loved her look right away! She was super awesome and a nice girl, a real sweetheart. My story about her is short and to the point but fun! Be sure and tune in next week for the Meet the Models segment on her!
I remember the day clearly! It was April 13th 2008 and I was getting ready to shoot Genna. I was referred her by a mutual friend named Tony. Tony had worked with her at another workshop and wanted her to…
One of the questions I get asked by models and photographers alike is “What do you think of X’s work?” Back in my younger days I had no problem saying if I thought the person was good or not. As the years have gone by, I’ve shied away from such comments as I personally find it more of reflection on myself, than the person who’s work I am critiquing.
