Modeling anyone?

When 2C Photography was in the planning stage, there where many services that we wanted to incorporate into the old business plan. We are currently working hard to bring some of them online. One of those is a modeling program that is designed to help people to work on their modeling skills without spending huge amounts of money for time in front of a camera. Let's face it, modeling isn't something you just read about and go do. Models need time to work on their posing abilities so they can refine their transitions from one pose to the next as well as their instincts on when to free style as well as work hard staying comfortable and relaxed even when your not. These come from time spent in front of a lens, but $60 to $100 per hour plus editing time could be a very expensive proposition. So what's our solution? Time for Pints (TFP) or Time for CD/DVD (TFCD).

Our goal in the up coming week or so is to put the finishing touches on this program. What it will include is in exchange for a model release and your time, we will schedule a number of photo sessions with you. These will include in studio and location sessions. You will get a chance to go though the editing/proof process and will receive a number of pictures to use for your growing portfolio with a release to use them for your own personal promotion, Other benefits to our models will include the possible addition to our model gallery were a collection of your pictures will be available for view by any one you choose to give permission to. You will also be able to start assembling a resume as we use your photos in our self promotional material. Being published always look good.

Now I'm not going to tell you that we are experts in the modeling field, but we do know what looks are good and what we as photographers need from our models when the clock is ticking and the pressure is on. References always looks good on a resume as well. We're also not modeling agents and for that mater, I didn't stay at one of those fancy motel express last night (or any night for that matter), so can't make any claims there either. What I can tell you we will do is our best to work to get a great look for you and give you the opportunity to get experience in front of a camera,

One last note I think I need to cover. Cover is a pretty appropriate word to use here because those are the types of pictures we take. The day I need or you need to to be in a varying state of not covered to sell my pictures or you as a model is the day a change in profession should be seriously looked in to. Hope that does not offend anybody but I have seen some of the ugly side of the profession and in my opinion a certain amount of integrity and self respect is lost and very hard to regain if one ever can.

Well if anything here interest you, than go to the "Contact Us" section and drop us a note. Make sure you leave us some way to get in touch with you and let us know you are interested in this program. It may take us a few days to get back to you but we will. We do look forward to hearing from you.

Have a great day everybody! Richard
