So why have Models Hired Me ?

I would guess because they're naive, have no experience and don't know the difference between a good & bad photo

So My question ( as related to this critique thread ) is - If you are / were a young aspiring fashion Model ( and had what it took stats and looks wise to walk in a major Fashion Week ) would You ( and your parent ) buy me dinner for doing that first critical "comp card "shoot for You ?

Girls don't need photos to walk into a fashion agency.

That said, it may be germane to have a Zed Card to hand out on Open Calls...
But it certainly isn't a requirement...

Many of the top agencies in my market only want to see Polaroid style imagery...
And for good reason...

I've been given these requirements for agency submission

Natural soft light... Plain background... No facial expressions... No makeup... Hair not styled... Not altered in post processing...

Clearly you dont understand what I was talking about ..... I was talking about helping new indpendent /non agency models get chosen by designers in our fashion week , and you were talking about what agencies expect ( photo wise ) for their new models - Two entirely different subjects

Anyways I am done with this thread

and the Non Model Members who posted just to attempt to take cheap shots at me
