good agencies gets a lot of e-mails every day ... with a lot of bad - but also a
lot of good photos ...Tomorrow must be the longest day  because everything is scheduled on it  |

 ID: 186175 Posts: 71 | Date: 2007-06-28 17:33 I would imagine that agencies have more models than they can handle trying to
get onto their books. I doubt if they have the time, or need, to go searching
online for them. If you want to join a particular agency your best bet would be
to put together the best portfolio you can and go to them. |

I think I will elaborate a bit further:
Well, first, Jurgita is an agency.
Two, there are a number of agencies active on this site and for the most part
they are utilizing the site to promote their signed models not
necessarily sign new models.
Three, number two should tell you something vitally important!
Four, I do not know of any agency that actively locates talent through the
internet. No real reason to as well as the fact that it is extremely difficult
to properly manage talent ten thousand miles away from your base. The logistics
are utterly gruesome.
Five, a wait and see approach is the kiss of death. There is nothing wrong with
one being proactive and pushing yourself in front of people. Agencies do get
deluged with model wannabees. Everyone want to be a famous model! But if you
don't keep throwing your hat into the ring you severely restrict your chances of
getting noticed. A number of models do take the bull by the horn and contact me
directly (I am not an agency) asking if I have anything they would be suited
for. I do not mind the inquiries and have actually selected some people for
photo assignments who initiated contact with me. Honestly, most people who
contact me, I do not have work for, but that does not mean they shouldn't drop
me a line once in a while because things do pop up. And agencies, though they
are more streamlined to handle it, do have one problem in common with me. Over
the years you deal with thousands of models. There is no way in the world I can
remember everyone who has contacted me. And sometimes a job will come up for
which a prior contact would be perfect for. However, the chances of me
remembering that particular individual from even a year ago are very slim. So, I
will likely select someone else who is more current in my mind.
Bottom line is: The Lord helps those who help themselves. Solicit, advertise,
make yourself known, but don't make a pest out of yourself. Have faith that the universe will unfold as it should  |

Treat with suspicion any agency that approaches you from an internet contact -
some way down the line they will ask you to pay them money - either for a
'portfolio' or a 'photo session'.
Ask yourself - WHY do they need to charge you if they are sure that they can get
you work - how is it they aren't confident that they recover their costs from
the commission they get from the work they find you ?
The rule in dealing with ANY agency is NEVER, repeat NEVER, give out any
money.
Genuine agencies will work on commission - no work for you , no income for
them.
A few agencies ask you to pay for a photo session for your portfolio - this may
be acceptable, but watch the cost - personally, I would advise you not to do
it.
The strategy is this - get some images done - a couple of headshots, half body
shots and full-body shots. There are loads of good amateur photographers who
will do you these for free just to get some practice - they will be good enough
to show an agency.
Good agencies can tell if you are what they are looking for to suit their
portfolio of clients from a reasonable image.
The point is this - YOU have to do the work - no genuine agency is going to come
knocking on your door.
Make several copies of the photos that you get done and PHONE UP AGENCIES NEAR
TO YOU from the Yellow Pages and ask them if they might be interested in looking
at your photos and ask them what they are looking for. In the UK don't go to an
agency without making an appointment.
While you are sat at home waiting for emails from the internet other people are
pushing themselves forward to agencies.
If you haven't got the drive to push yourself , don't give up your day job  |
