Modeling job at the Fabulous Las Vegas Sign

A few months back I had the opportunity to work with an amazing photographer.

Her name is Tracy Rasinski, and the concept was shooting at the Las Vegas

Welcome sign. We tossed ideas back and forth until we came up with a winner.

The theme is totally Vegas! The Vegas Sign with a Vegas Showgirl. We shot

just before sunset, and the pictures looked amazing.

Now, you might be wondering how I got booked for this job. let me tell

you...

I'd normally say my agent booked me, but this time I was booked off of my

website. I actually have a few different website to book myself work from.

I don't use mass modeling sites, there are too many models and to be honest I

don't want to promote where my potential clients can choose another model

with the click of a mouse. On my own site I have a captive audience. You

can have a site build for almost nothing and with just one paid booking pays

for itself. I use fasteasysite.com, they do an amazing job and only charge

me 99 bucks (ask for the "New Model Advice" discount). For more great

modeling tips visit americastopmodelingcoach.com.

Actually, this photographer didn't just book me off of my site, but she was

referred to me from another photographer who saw my site, so having my very

own website made it all possible. Anyway, lets get back to this job.

So, we met up with the makeup artist in the late afternoon, then I got into

costume and we headed down to the sign. Now, this wasnt a studio shot,

clearly we were on location and it was not a private set. So we had to wait

our turn and I have to admit we did draw a lot of attention. We had two

assistants there to help with crowd control.

Now not only is Tracy an amazing photographer, she is also great at

photoshop. If you arent familiar with photoshop, its a computer

program for altering photographic images. You can spot good photoshop from

bad photoshop pretty easy. When it is done well the overall image is the

same, it has just been enhanced, things like color correction, contrast,

maybe removing a flaw or two.

As I said this was not a private location so when the final picture was

selected there was someone in the background. Using photoshop it was easy to

remove the extra person and have a perfect shot. Now its a great

addition to my book (every good model knows you've always got to be adding

and updating to your book).
