Commercialness

I’m not one to shoot down people’s hopes and dreams but I’m certainly not in the business of taking someone’s money and blow smoke up their butts. It’s my responsibility as a testing photographer to help models develop and steer them in a path that would help them succeed. 

I always run into those models who want to move to NY, do runway for a top notch agency, and walk fashion week at only 5’ 6” tall and in their late 20’s. I try to inform them of their options and how I can help…very few listen honestly.

Today I had a commercial shoot with Monique @ Direct who just embraces her “commercialness”. You could just tell that she loved to smile and move. She had just an awesome spirit about her that made the whole shoot just enjoyable. She made me want to embrace the “commercialness” in my photography.

BTW, it’s been a long time since I’ve had to break out 5 lights for a shoot…LOL.
