What is a model?
I bet you thought you were immune from my blog huh?
As it turns out, you will get just as much commentary as the photographers on my blog. Models are just as important to the photography process, so you need to be addressed summarily.
Wanting to be a model takes more than good looks and a nice body. It takes dedication and attention to detail. It takes commitment above and beyond the weekend “wannabe†claim. I want to touch on a few things that I see common in my shoots, and many other shots out there. These are tips and tricks that will help you be the best model you possibly can.

What is a professional photographer?
One of the questions that I tend to shy away from, is the “what makes someone a professional photographer†I’ve shied away from this for the simple fact that there are many different ways to qualify a “Professional Photographer†Today, I was talking to a friend of mine and she was telling about a pro photog friend of hers, who wasn’t getting image comments that she liked, so she took all her photos down. Is this how a pro should act? IMHO, no, not at all.
The comments I’m going to make next are qualifiers that I use to determine a “Professional Photographerâ€. In no way, shape or form, should this list be taken as the end all, be all of what is or is not a pro, just my observation.
Joelle Modeling
Been a while since I've updated, I apologize for that! I'm updating today with some photos taken at the Business of Modeling class. The model was Joelle. The class focused on model photography as a business and not just a hobby. After the class was done, several of the guys stated they didn't realize model photography as a business was so difficult. I didn't want to break it to them that that class was just the intro class.
Joelle is a blast to be around. She has the energy of a small child and always brings different looks and attitudes to the shoot. She has the potential to do well here in the Colorado market!
