Make-Over Shoots – SAY NO!
As a modelling agency we accept new applicants to our agency on the basis of good snap shots or profiessional photo shots. We are looking for a wide range of potential. We do not accept make-over studio shots - save those as a gift for family!
We have become increasingly aware of ‘New models starting out / wannabe models’ paying for make-over studio shoots and receiving a ‘complete’ portfolio. Unfortunately this does nothing other than provide a very expensive album which has NO real use. In some cases potential models are paying over one thousand pounds for nothing more a very expensive album which has NO real use.
A portfolio can never be built up in one shoot. A real portfolio is built up over time and will contain many looks, ideas and concepts which will help a model agency pitch the model to a range of clients. One photographer and a few outfit changes achieves very little (if you watch “Britain's Next Top Model” you will see the winner has 12 photos from 12 photo shoots by 12 different photographers and makeup artists with 12 different backgrounds).
As a 'good and reputable agency' has a very simple way to see if someone is photogenic – arrange a basic Test Shoot with clear and transparent pricing of an acceptable small fee and the model informed in advance of the total cost, not after it. This price should include the photographer and assistant, studio, any lighting or props and provide the model with a couple of good quality shots. A possible additional small fee may be charged (providing the model is informed in advance) if a makeup artist or stylist is needed. This test shoot is all you need to move things forward and for an agency to evaluate your potential as a model. A test shot is just that – it is a test to see how you photograph. In this case less is most definitely more.
Majestic Models can arrange test shoots with a number of published, professional photographers at various locations or in one of our studios. We provide guidance and advice on the day and you receive a number of colour corrected images that show your potential and build your experience.
