Commercial print photographers
Does anyone in the NYC area know of photgraphers who have a full understanding of commercial print images as opposed to fashion print? I have a general idea but am not sure of where the line is drawn. Jul 21 05 02:06 pm Link Print..what do you mean by print as far as publications or working within the industry as printing companies Jul 21 05 02:09 pm Link find dorothy shi she is a good one Jul 22 05 03:09 am Link I mean at this moment fine tuning my portfolio to a commercial market-non- fashion, For instance my agent sends me on go sees for pharmacueticals, electronics, health related- very mainstream look Jul 22 05 10:47 am Link Thanks. I will check on MM but otherwise do you have contact info? Jul 22 05 10:48 am Link You need lifestyle shots rather than fashion in that case. Similar to your avatar. Here is some background info. Jul 22 05 11:11 am Link Here are a few for you to try. They routinely shoot "commercial/lifestyle" images, which is what you ought to be looking for in a portfolio. All of the photographers on this list are used by several of the commercial print agencies Lisa Crosby, 212-877-1935 Bill Morris, 212-274-1177 Michael Keel, 212-354-6889 Nancy Nay, 212-260-4300 Nadine Raphael, 212-613-5947 Commercial test photography is generally more expensive than fashion, if only because there are fewer people who are qualified to do so and fewer want to do so. I would also call several of the better commercial print agencies in your area and ask for their list of photographers who they use. In NYC some of the better ones are; R&L models CED-cunningham, escott & dipene Gilla Roos, fft/funnyface today inc. parts models TLG Lyons Group jan alpert model management time models goldstar management McDonald/Richards..... finely went out of business last year. My picks are R&L and since your very fit the Lyons group has a strong fitness presence in NYC. Also remember that lots of fashion agencies also have strong commercial divisions too. Ford/classic is one example. Good luck but from your photos you look extremely marketable and you will have several agencies wanting you. Seriously you look strong enough for Ford/Classic. edited to add opps... I see from your other post that you are already represented. I would still call the other agencies just for their shoot list and when you see the same name pop up several times check out their work and see if it's the type you need.
