Am so excited, I finally feel that things are slotting in place. 

I have posted my first model call on Facebook. I chose Facebook as I am a member of a few groups which include photographers of varying levels and aspiring and accredited models. All of which are looking to trade TFP (time for pictures), a very common portfolio practice. 

So….  I decided to be brave and post a model call so I could complete a photography assignment.  

Then the waiting game commenced. Very. nerve racking and not helped by the fact that the group had to authorise my posts. 

Luckily they were authorised and I got a few responses 😁😁😁

I am trying to prepare for the shoot by having a dialogue with the models in regards to the shoot. Detailing the theme, what to expect, whether it is a styled shoot or not. 

I’ve also sent a model release for her to sign. This just makes sure everyone knows their roles and responsibilities as well as what their entitlement is as well. 

Saves a lot of bother later on

Now waiting again for a reply. Seems to be a lot of waiting 😗😗😗

Will let you know how it goes. 

I’ve also scouted the location to check if can get correct exposure, what type of lense to use as a very narrow alleyway. 

On another note business cards have arrived. 

Ordered from Vistaprint. Extremely good detail and quite cheap. Definitely worth having. 

I have already networked unexpectedly today at a work training day. Spoke to a fellow member of a course I am doing. Found out her brother and herself do flower arrangements.  Her brother is also opening a fashion label tomorrow and is putting on a show. With new models. She offered to give them some of my business cards in case they want pictures. 

How amazing is that!!!!!

Have a look and let me know what you think. 

Here’s to Thursday!!! 😉
