The Concrete Loft Workshop (Working with Modeling Agencies)

I've done this topic before but never like this. It's one thing when I teach this topic based upon my experience. It's a completely different story to hear and learn directly from a 5-year modeling agent veteran.

Learn directly from a 5-year modeling agent veteran!
- What it takes to be a modeling agency photographer.
- What modeling agents look for in a photographer's portfolio.
- How to get paid tests.

General notes:

-Who is L U C I M A? I'm a fashion-editorial photographer based in Los Angeles (see www.lucima.com). I also teach at the New York Film Academy (Universal Studios campus) to 1-year and 2-year MFA photography students. 

-Since good models are paramount to getting "the shot" we'll provide experienced agency-represented models for the workshop. I'll be updating this page shortly with who we're shooting. 

-Keeping the workshop small for more one-on-one attention. I will cap the attendance at 12. 

Photographers should bring: 
-Camera/assorted lenses 
-Computer to follow along for post work 
-Media cards. LOTS of them. And fast ones. Preferably 60mb/sec+. 
-Something to take notes with 

Q/A: 
Will update more as inquiries come in! 

Q: Where can I see more of the previous workshop results?
A: Please see our L U C I M A Workshop Facebook Group!

Q: Which airport should I fly into? 
A: LAX and Burbank are the closest

Q: Which models are we shooting?
A: Will update shortly! But chances are that they'll be the ones that you see most recently in my portfolio. See my tumblr blog for recent work! 

Q: Will we be shooting nudes? 
A: Nope. For that I suggest you go to Drew and Karl's workshops. I hear they're great. 

Q: At what point will you know whether you will register enough students to confirm the workshop? 
A: I never cancel my workshops. If there is even 1 photographer, the show goes on! Yes, I will teach to 1 photographer if only 1 registers!  

Q: Do I really need a light meter? 
A: Yes and no. But basically I'll be showing you how to light with AND without light meters. But for a long-winded version of this answer please see my official stance on light meters. 

Q: Are we shooting on location? 
A: Yes! Location will be provided upon registration.


 

This will be my first workshop that I will be collaborating with Charles as a speaker. With my experience as a modeling agent for a top Agency in Los Angeles and New York for over 4 years, along with my 12 years experience as a full time working model, I know I can add key insight about the industry.

At the Concrete Loft workshop I'll share a few stories about what its like from the agents perspective on working with a Photographer that wants to test with an agency's models.

If you want to be a photographer that modeling agents reach out to to test their best girls I would love to tell you what steps you need to take. Its like a first date, you only get once shot to make that impression on an agent, don't waste it.


If you have any questions or concerns about this workshop please private message me anytime.

Yet another great workshop! If you're thinking of attending a photography workshop... THIS IS IT!

It's one thing to learn how to shoot and retouch, but to actually get insight from a former modeling agent! What more can you ask for?

Save your spot now!!!

Charles  I signed up for the workshop and extra shoots.  This time I will remember to bring enough memory cards and a tablet to take notes.  LD

All spots sold out!

Looking forward to working with all the photographers at the next workshop!
