    Questions and Answers

    I usually get my portraits taken at PROEX or JC Penney's studio. How do your prices compare?
    Very well, actually. Take a look at the Services page. But there's more to going with an individual photographer than just price. With an individual, you'll get a personalized shoot and an attention to detail that a big-box studio can't offer. You'll be supporting a local business. And you'll be working with a professional, not an entry-level "shoot-by-numbers" employee.

    I'd like to get into modeling or acting, but I don't know where to start!
    Start by downloading and reading this: My free modeling info package. It will answer some of the most common questions, and tell you how to get your foot in the door of the modeling industry the right way.

    I strongly suggest acting classes for beginning models, too. These teach valuable skills in performing and expressing emotion, which are great skills for a model to have. Check your local community education center, art center, or playhouse. These resources may have low-cost beginning acting classes available.

    Finally, read NewModels.com. This site is an excellent resource that tells it like it is. And remember, even if you don't like the answers, that doesn't mean they aren't true.

    How many photos do models or actors usually get from their shoot?
    It's difficult to predict, since the length and complexity of each shoot varies. However, you can generally expect 15-30 edited photos, or 40-60 unedited proofs, depending on the package that is purchased.

    What clothing should I bring?
    Comfort is extremely important, as is variety. Bring two or three different outfits, with layers. Bring clothes that are simple, stylish, and fit you well. Nothing with ruffles, stripes, or loud patterns. Also, base your choice of clothing on the type of work you'd like to pursue, or characters or looks that you would like to be cast in. If our shoot requires a specific wardrobe item, we will discuss that beforehand.
