This lesson is all about the benefits of building your portfolio with agency models from the start and experiences I’ve had doing them. Also! I totally forgot about this until I started looking through the photos of my test shoot I speak about in this lesson. We were shooting in front of an old vibey hotel while we had the truck and we got yelled at by the old man who owned the hotel who said he did not allow people to take pictures in front of his hotel. I grabbed a few shots while ignoring him but hustled away quickly with the models and joked around with them about how bizarre that situation was to keep the energy light and laugh it off. These are the exact situations that are great to practice through while doing test shoots. I’ve included a photo of the grumpy man at the bottom of this post.
1) Valyn Dobson - My good friend and incredible model
2) Daniella Jacobo - My assistant in Tulum
3) Here is my photos from this test shoot being featured in Sticks and Stones!
