How to Find Work...
I've been on MM for a while now and I found it VERY helpful in building my portfolio and for networking purposes.... Now that I have some professional photos taken - I'd like to find some jobs (whether it's TFP or paid). I don't know how to go about finding these jobs i.e. promotional, commerical, print/advertisement, runway, anything really.... Is there information on casting calls anywhere?? Any help would be appreciated!! Besos ♥!

Good luck Jul 25 06 12:31 pm Link First of all, move out of Alabama. lol  Search for photographers in your area. Contact them and ask if they would like to hire you or use you for any of their projects. Once I started doing this, my images got better and better until more and more people were willing to ask me to work for them. Now I rarely need to put in time looking for people who will want to work with me. They contact me, or I search out some very special ones. Look up your local agencies and see if you can attend a private or open call. Jul 25 06 12:38 pm Link thanks ladies Jul 25 06 12:42 pm Link When in northern California look me up! Keeping a fresh and updated portfolio is good for the soul! Jul 25 06 12:47 pm Link never been to the westcoast but i'm making it a priority trip now Jul 25 06 12:49 pm Link talking of work is there a place on here where us Photographers can get paid commercialcommissioned work??? Jul 25 06 12:50 pm Link Try craigslist.com and go to your state and local area. then go to the posts "Events", "Creative", "Talent". There are usually companies that are doing commercial and stock photography, and they posts their needs for models and photographers. when things slow down for me I usually go there and take a few freelance jobs to fill in. Good Luck! Jairo Oh, also mymodeltalk.com Jul 25 06 12:59 pm Link Have you tried researching agencies in Mobile? you live near a major fashion hub (think Atlanta) & Mobile isn't a little backwards city, it's a very progressive cosmopolitian city! Do some research, start with google, net work, talk to other models who are actually working in the business in & around your area. It's not gonna come a knocking on your door sweet heart! Jul 25 06 01:03 pm Link Find some legitimate agencies in your area. It is almost impossible to get good quality jobs through the internet. Commercial clients don't want to hire models that are not with agencies. That's been my experience anyway. They want to know the agency feels you are qualified to work on the shoot. There is a reason that agency models make $125.00 per hour, it's because the agencies fight for this type of fee. Good Luck with everything!

Jul 25 06 08:59 pm Link You have a very nice port! Are you going to try to get in an agency? Jul 26 06 02:57 am Link Do you have comp cards? Send them out. Ad Agencies, local photographers etc. Get your name known. Conquer your city then move into the pit of competition. Internet is one avenue and a minor one at that for local work. You have to get your brain into thinking advertising your self locally. Jul 26 06 08:01 am Link Yeah, try the Casting Calls forum. Jul 26 06 03:22 pm Link Sent u a PM Jul 26 06 03:42 pm Link |
