For a model, their portfolio is the
single most important investment in getting them
noticed! It is a dynamic thing that will gain and
lose images as their career progresses. West of
East photogrfx offers full service of digital
photography in black & white and color, both to aspiring
models and to those already established but wanting new
images.
If you are a new model or want to give
modeling a try, we can produce high quality portfolios
and promote you with the design of a stylish and
effective web site. We provide free test shoots, and in
some cases will work on a 'time for prints' basis.
'Time for prints' means that we will provide you with a
limited amount of professional prints in exchange for
your time in front of the camera.
This is a value to both parties; the
model gets professional quality photography at no cost
and the photographer gets to add to his own portfolio,
or try out new lighting and photographic techniques.
When you are starting out any chance you have to get in
front of the camera and see some results is valuable. It
is a chance to gain some experience, try new make-up,
poses, expression, wardrobe, and see how the camera sees
you.
For those in need of a
first rate portfolio, or need your existing portfolio
updated, we can provide a full portfolio service
providing both studio and location photography.
Prices are reasonable and advice is free. All work can
be completed in-house in our 100% digital workflow so
rapid turn round is guaranteed and your images will be
available to you for print or online uses. We
offer full post processing and digital retouching
services.
And of course, being a
full service firm, we can offer web design and
promotional services that add value beyond what most
photography studios can offer.
We are NOT a modeling agency and we
cannot promise you work, however we can pass your
information along to people with whom we have personal
relationships in the industry. We stand as a
attractively priced alternative to agency mandated
services (many of which are scams) or 'modeling schools'
that require paid portfolios as part of the 'tuition'
(another popular industry scam), West of East photogrfx
can tailor services to YOUR needs and put YOUR best
interests in the forefront.
Despite the glamour and hype you may
have seen on TV or in movies, modeling is hard work.
It's boring sometimes (okay. many times). It's a
lifestyle filled with ups and downs and some times
rejection. Not all jobs pay well, especially when
starting out. Unless you are seriously committed about
modeling, willing to work at it on your own time, live a
healthy life style, etc., you will not succeed as a
model. You have to understand that there are many people
who want to be models. They are doing everything they
can to be successful.
If you are
willing to put your efforts to a career as a
professional model, you need those around you to put in
the same dedication. West of East photogrfx is the
professional answer when image is everything.
