You can get the names of 15 companies that offer this service from the Industry Directory, which is the other free directory that you get when ordering the book from the web site You are very frustrated because you don’t understand the assignment This allows you to make an intelligent decision on which company to hire
HERE IS THE KEY FOR COMMERCIAL SUCCESS
Every photo that you have taken must look like an ad Being able to show different expressions in believable ways is what grabs an agent’s attention 00 each org web site See if there is one particular shot that really stands out My book will walk you through the process of putting together incredible photos This book will teach you how to get started, get photos taken free, find agents, get work on your own handle the legal documents that are signed at the end of every job, and much much more Get some suggestions from your agent as to what categories you will likely be cast in The way to get an agent’s and photographers’ attention is by showing them photos that tell a story Signatory agents are agents who have agreed to sign contracts with the union and follow union rules You might be able to trade services with a student There are many scams taking place, and these people can be quite good at telling you exactly what you want to hear, taking your money, and giving you nothing in return
Please take your time reading this information Generally those pictures get thrown away by agents and photographers If you are a teenager, then maybe you could have a photo at a desk doing your homework Over the past 17 years, I have learned how to properly break-in, market myself and get work on my own, (along with the 62 agents that represent me), and make a living as an actor and commercial model 00 savings "
Getting started is actually a very difficult process for those with little or no experience Do not reproduce any of the photos yet
If you thought this information was helpful, imagine what How to Become a Successful Commercial Model will do for you
The way to accomplish this is to go through magazines that you could really imagine seeing yourself in, and study the ads
If you have further questions, feel free to e-mail me This is a $30 I promise, it will be well worth your time and effort
The first thing you might want to do is read the entire chapter from my book about agents I will share with you the secrets that I have learned over the past years Your photos should look like they could be an ad for many products You can also check out local colleges to see if there is a photography department Find magazines that you honestly could see yourself in Many of them work with commercial models
You can call the AFTRA/SAG (the two major unions for actors) office closest to you
To get the book, simply go to the order page
LEARN HOW TO PUT TOGETHER EYE CATCHING PHOTOS
The first thing is to understand how put together the “right� kinds of photographs for your head shot, portfolio and composite sheet
Best wishes,
Aaron Marcus
Ask them for a list of signatory agents in your area They make their living by taking a percentage of each job they book for you Once again, study my book, do the research I suggest and you will be incredibly prepared for your photo session, and produce very marketable photos
"How to Become a Successful Commercial Model" has 26 pages devoted to creating attention getting head shots, resumes and photos for your composite sheet
GETTING ADDITIONAL PHOTOS
Once you begin working with an agent or agents, start doing some test shots under the agents guidance
You can also find a camera club in your area
FINDING AGENTS
Find as many agents as you can I was in your exact situation in 1984 I offer this to give you a tremendous amount of information and to allow you to see how valuable this book will be for you
Considering that I have been cast in 1000 projects so far, I feel that my methods work pretty well At their web site, you should be able to find photographers and even assistant photographers at their site If so, that is the photo that should be used for your head shot
GET PHOTOS TAKEN FREE
One way to find photographers is to go to the ASMP 00 if purchased on its own Don’t make the mistake of doing what most people do and just stand in front of a camera and have pretty pictures taken of yourself The prices can vary from as little as $80 for 500 head shots to paying over $1 You might even want to read it in stages Call these companies and ask for samples and prices This could be an ad for a tutoring company, or perhaps a private school, for students with special needs Just make sure you know what type of shot is needed, and tell the student how to create a great commercial photo It costs $15 Try calling photographers in the area and ask them which agents they deal with when booking models Perhaps there are members who are interested in putting together a commercial portfolio but can’t afford your modeling fees However, you will not get the two free directories and the 100% money back guarantee anywhere else but by ordering at this web site The book can also be ordered at book stores, on line book stores and Amazon
REPRODUCING YOUR PHOTOS
When you have decided which photo to use for your head shot, then find a company who will take your photos and turn them into head shots and composite sheets I know the feeling of not having a clue as to how to get started It is a great organization (American Society of Media Photographers) That is how you should get started and when to put your portfolio together I know because in 1984, when I first got started I wasted a lot of time and money doing things that I should not have been doing, and spending money unwisely
One of the most important things to keep in mind is never pay an agent any up-front money Instead, show the contact sheets (those are all of your photos from the session in a miniature size format) to agents, photographers and art and creative directors at advertising agencies This is one of the two chapters from my book that can be read free from my web site They will give you that list free Once you get your head shots back from the printer, start sending them out to agents, photographers and art and creative directors at the advertising agencies
Some of this free information is taken directly from my book, "How to Become a Successful Commercial Model Their number is listed in the National SAG and AFTRA Directory that you get free as a special bonus when you buy the book from the web site com It is really important that you know what kinds of things to ask, and look for to make sure you are dealing with a legitimate agent If you have the girl next door look then don’t look at magazines like Details or Mirabella Head shots should always be shot with black and white film
I can’t possibly explain everything to you that I have written in my book How to Become a Successful Commercial Model, but I will give you some very helpful pointers to get you started and send you in the right direction Don’t be afraid to borrow some ideas from these ads You could get some great photos - free You can offer to trade services and get the photos at no cost to you
YOU HAVE THE IDEAS, NOW YOU NEED A PHOTOGRAPHER
After getting the information, then find a photographer and start off with having a head shot taken Go to the local community theater and ask the actors after the play which agents you should be contacting
Not knowing the proper ingredients of commercial photographs is the main reason people never reach there goals in the industry You can try the same question at advertising agencies Here are some ways to find great agents
