WORKING WITH MODELING AGENCIES ONLINE WORKSHOP
The rebroadcast of this workshop is available here!
I have tested for every major modeling agency here in Los Angeles. Without a doubt, modeling agencies are a gateway to a consistent source of better models. Your ability to open this door and maintain a good working relationship with the modeling agencies can make or break your career as a photographer. After all, the better your portfolio looks, the better your chances at booking paid work.
But how do you open that door? What do you say to the agency? And what the hell is a call sheet?
Not only will we answer these questions but we'll tackle some of the more advanced questions like:
How do you get paid tests from the agency? Do the agencies want me to shoot nudity? Can you shoot nudes for a test?
-If you are building your portfolio and trying to get your foot in the door with agencies (particularly in the competitive LA environment), this workshop is for you.
-If you are trying to improve your existing body of work, this workshop is for you.
-If you want to know how to potentially develop a paid-relationship with the agencies, this workshop is also for you.
-If you don't care about improving your portfolio or working with modeling agencies, then this workshop is
not for you.
Without further adieu here are the topics we'll cover during the online workshop:
-What agencies expect out of photographers and model portfolios
-How to approach agencies
-How to schedule an unpaid test with the modeling agency
-How to create a call sheet
-How to set proper expectations
-How to make proper selections for model portfolios (what kind of pictures do the agencies like/not like?)
-How to build a paid test relationship with the agency
-Attendance for this workshop is capped at 8.

Here's a promo video from the L U C I M A | Modeling Agencies Workshop
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.
-Keeping the workshop small for more
one-on-one attention. I will cap the attendance at 8 allowing for more cohesive discussions.
-
How does the online workshop work? By registering you are reserving a spot for the live workshop. On the morning of the workshop (90 minutes before the workshop) you will receive a an email link for the online meeting. Just open the link via your web browser and join the meeting. It doesn't matter if you're on a Mac or a PC.
-
What if my Internet is slow? Well that depends on how you define
slow. You need at least 384 kbps download speed. I don't know anyone who has Internet slower than 384 kbps. Even my iPhone on a 2G connection can do better than 384 kbps. But if you have connection problems during the workshop I'll be happy to provide a full refund. As a participating live you also have access to view the recorded session at any time!
-
What about the rebroadcast? The payment for the workshop lets you register an account that can access the recorded version of the live workshop from lucima.com indefinitely. So you can watch it as often as you want and as many times as you want (as long as you don't share the video)! You will also have all the controls that Vimeo provides; play, pause, fast forward, rewind, HD 1080, etc.
