This 1 Mistake Can Ruin Your Commercial Modeling Career

June 16, 2022 0 Comments

This mistake (that a lot of actors and models make) can ruin your commercial modeling career. This is the main reason many models can’t get work or find representation.

Prepare For Your Photo Session

When getting commercial photos taken, make sure you know exactly what shots are needed. Not being prepared before your photo shoot can ruin you
commercial modeling career.

Don’t do what I did when I first started in the industry 36 + years ago. I had no idea what to do for my first photo session. The photographer told me to make faces and that is what I did.

I was not prepared for this photo session. I had no idea what I should do. This picture was unusable for me

Create Commercial Photos That Look Like Ads

This test shot looks like an ad. I got lot’s of bookings as the dad with this photo

One trick to creating eye-catching photos that grab the attention of agents, photographers and art/creative directors at ad agencies is doing shots that look like ads.

Always show a variety of expressions in the various shots you have done. This shows industry professionals that you have the ability to take direction and give them many choices during a photo shoot.
