Tear Sheets..
Any good books or online tutorials on building one for a client and the best type of shots to go into one..? Jan 23 06 09:05 am Link Real tearsheets are always good. I mean, don't fake them. If you shot for a publication, then use it. DOn't build one in illustrator to show a client, even if it looks good, because it might look pretentious. Jan 23 06 09:12 am Link Crap, here I go mixing my terms up again.. (My memory is dyslexic.) Meant Comp Cards.. Are comp cards even something a model would want one photographer to make, or do they make it on their own using a mix of work from different photographers? And back to the original question.. Any books/tutorials that show what goes into making a good one.? Jan 23 06 12:09 pm Link WG Rowland wrote: If you go to Elite or Ford, they usually have compcards available for view for each model. You can google compcard layout and see what's accepted. Jan 23 06 12:19 pm Link A professional compcard always has the same layout, for guys or girls. Front = headshot. Back = normally four shots , but can be as little as 1.. normally depending on how well known you are within the industry.. the reason for this, to show a models range... It has nothing to do with the photographer or the company you worked for if you decide to use an image on a compcard..BUT it is normally the rule that you credit the photographer.. also on the card should be your measurements, eye colour and agency, etc.. Jan 23 06 12:30 pm Link Thanks Dawn & GSV.. I'll be off to look at comp cards to see what kind of shots seem to work for professional models. I'm not trying to get into fashion photography, but I figure in these early stages, while I'm trying to build some working relationships with models I'd like to do projects with in the future the least I can do is make sure I'm proficient in the types of shots they need in their own work. I kind of figured comp cards were something that models did on their own, but considering what a PITA it can be getting good quality printing done, I wasn't sure how that worked.. Jan 23 06 12:58 pm Link the model DOESNT do it.. You give your pics to a specialised company who do it and they also have the regular templates set up, and the Logos of the top agents already on the drive http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=original+card+comp Jan 23 06 01:13 pm Link I get that GSV.. Sorry.. All I meant is that it's not the photographer's responsibility to produce the cards.. Just the shots that go into them.. Jan 23 06 01:15 pm Link |
