Model portfolios

Anyone who knows anything about the professional modeling world knows at least the following very basic facts without which you should not even waste your time to try and break in to this world:

* Use a professional photographer with experience in the field that you need shots of

* Nudes are by far the most difficult photogrpahy to do and very few photographers have the 'knack', skill and not to mention the experience - dont risk putting yourself in front of an untested photographer's lens if you hope to build a career.

* Use a photographer that is good enough for your shots to be accepted by larger agencies and catch someone's eye

* You need a good portfolio to get casting calls - its your essential resume - there is no use skimping on it.

* If you have the money hire a professional for 5 hours and run through every pose, every piece of wardrobe, every style, location and whatever else advice you get. Pay the $2,000+ and if you picked a pro, you will be very very happy. If you dont have that kind of money then work for a pro model-for-pics. Not many pros need models, they usually have many available in the wings but talk to them, make it worth their while (some models are a rigt pain in the butt to have around, if you are not full of it then you might just get what you want).

* Practise poses, listen to the pros and learn as you go. Modeling is about more than just sitting around...

* Include a variety of poses styles and genre - show your versatality. Ask advice from pros if you dont know.

* There are many different types of modeling jobs you can concentrate on, jst think about it - fitness magazines, clothing, jewelry, hair, adult xxx, runway, fashion, swimsuit, lingerie, and male models have many options as well.

Modeling for Pics

Are you are an aspiring model or actor in need of a portfolio, and experience for your resume? Or, you may not aspire to be a professional but, like most people, you simply want to have professional photographs of yourself looking your absolute best but you dont want to pay the studio fee. This might be for you.

Definition:

For the Studio to publish or exhibit works of art we need to own the rights to do so. The usual way to go about owning exhibition/commercial rights is to hire professional models.

However, we recognize that not everyone can afford Zala Tunzi but would still love to have their work done by him. We think it a nice idea to open the model-for-pics concept for a while, at least.

What this involves is that anyone (you know Zala makes anyone look good!) has the opportunity to model under a professional contract (so we own rights to exhibit works) and reward will be made in the form of exhibition quality prints of all works used by the studio.

What is included in the package?

Some hard work. Be prepared to offer up to 6 hours, perhaps over more than one session
Sometimes Zala Tunzi work on a particular project and concentrates on a theme. These sessions may be shorter.
You get a signed exhibition-quality print of every photograph the artist selects for exhibition / display.
You may order other prints at standard rates

Cost:

Your time, co-operation and effort.

Terms:

Female, male, or couples, 21 to 98 years old. Initial interview and pre-shoot. (as above). We will contact you when we are working on a project where your talent is required. We often use time between appointments, weekends, or later in the evenings when the studio is available. Standard ‘model release’ contract allowing Zala Tunzi full exhibition / commercial rights to the work.

Note:

Modeling for prints is an industry standard way for aspiring models to build portfolios, get recognized, and gain credit for experience worked with ‘big name’ professionals – but it is also a great way for anyone to obtain art of themselves that otherwise they might not have had.

Interested:

Contact Adele and tell her what you want to do. She will talk you through the process and get you on the list of models to call next time we are working on a project.

This studio's specialty is working with average people.
