When Simple Polaroids are not Enough
I read a comment on MM about the fact that if you've past the peak to be signed by an agency (usually past 21) then if you're still wanting to get signed bringing simple polaroids to their open calls may not be enough for you anymore. Well I have great prints of me. A bunch of TFP's, local designer shoots runways, hair shows. Nothing major but enough so that I can put my own portfolio togethor of some of my best work. Should I put my book togethor on my own? I know that if and when I ever get signed they'll want me to get updated pics anyway but just to get my foot in the door I was thinking of putting some prints togethor. Has anyone done this before? How important is it for the pics to have a special glossy finish or whatnot? What are the technicalities I need to know before doing this?

Nobody wants to see pictures you happened to have lying around of your vacation, your prom, or snapshots taken of you and your friends at a bar. Make it look like you at least tried to send something specifically tailored for this purpose. If that means getting a disposable camera and taking a trip to the drug store, do it. At least it will look like you tried.
