A Collaboration of Sorts

So me and my bestie are doing a joint venture. Mica is putting me on her website and I am putting her info on mine. She is an amazing photographer and I’m so happy her business is picking up.

We had a lunch meeting at our favorite little spot, Melon Bean and we got to talking. What she’s thinking, and I think is wonderful, is a sort of mentoring program. Where as she can offer her and my services to corporate businesses and if there are any other models who want to get into the biz, I can mentor them. Give them pointers and help get them started. We’re hoping that the photog model combo will be super successful and the mentoring program will be successful too.

Another idea is have a weekend day camp for fledgling photogs and models, where on the 1st day the photogs will work with Mica & the models will work with me and then on the 2nd day we will all collaborate for a shoot. To get different looks and poses that work with what we were all taught on day 1. I really like that idea. I think it’s a great way to help others get their feet wet.

I just realized this and I want to talk to her, about maybe doing comp cards or initial headshots for models interested in getting into the biz. Because there are a lot of “agency’s” out there that all they do is charge money for headshots and portfolios and comp cards and don’t get you any work and it’s a total scam. They’re expensive and scummy and I think that if we worked together we could do that for people.

Anyways it’s excited, both advancing our careers hopefully utilizing each other. We’ll see what the next step is.
