Date book

Date book:
Get a date book immediately. This is your main tool for this business. Some agencies produce their own with pertinent phone numbers and information important to their models. You need to buy a generic daily planner with enough space to write down castings, appointments, and fittings in each day. Everything should be written in detail.

Write in pen if it’s for sure and pencil if it’s pending.

For example, if your agency books you for a job, be sure to write down all the details in pencil. This mean it is not for sure. Once your agency confirms the information, re-write in ink.

Record what you wore to audition, who you met, the directions, etc. You may need this information later.

Brenda photoshoot

A vision realized...

For about the last 3 years I have wanted to do a photo project that depicted a modern day warrior. When I met Brenda a few months ago, I saw she had the perfect look for the project. She agreed to be the model.

Wed. June 17th, 2009 saw the vision come to fruition. Here are some of the results:

Special thanks to

Zac for loaning us his weapons and tactical gear,

Tonya for coming out and doing the make up

Rodney for safety.

Personal Photo Project

After about 3 years of wanting to do this idea, it is going to happen. I have the participants and support crew for doing the ancient warrior, meets modern assassin shoot. Weapons, equipment, etc. everything just fell into place. It takes place on the 17th so watch for photos on here and on our website: http://www.premierphotokc.com
