Modelling Day

Today I worked on a modelling job which was arranged by my agents Talent Management.  The agency called me last week to see if I was available, which luckily, I was.  The job was based in Leeds and they were willing to pay travelling expense, as I was travelling from Cambridge.  The client was Hella Pagid, and we were working on  some still photographs for advertisements and point of sale products.

To get this booking, Molly from Talent Management initially called and then emailed me.  She was excellent at answering my questions and very pro-active at getting back to me with information as it became available.  She sent me the paperwork, detailing where to be and when.

The location for the shoot was an automotive repair garage in Leeds.  When I arrived on site I was met by the photographer (Bob), another model (Paul) and the marketing agency agent (Adam).  We discussed all of the requirements for the shoot and then Adam provided us with the required mechanics overalls to wear.  I was great to meet these other people at the shoot.  Paul is a much more experienced model than myself and I learnt a lot from him.

We conducted three separate shoots, which were different camera angles, all within the same garage.  With only 4 of us there, we were very swift at achieving the required look, and getting the final images.  From arrival to leaving was less than 2 hours.

I thoroughly enjoyed the shoot and was very excited to be learning more about the modelling industry.  It was great to meet the others involved in the shoot, and I can't wait to see the final products.

The process from start to finish was made very easy by Talent Management and I would thoroughly recommend them and look forward to working with them again.
