What to Say When You Visit an Agency

Nothing! The less you talk the better.

Don’t gush. “This has always been my dream.”

Don’t elaborate. “I love horses and tennis.”

Don’t personalize. “I knew I would be booked for this shoot!”

The cold, hard truth? All an agency cares about is if you take a good picture and if you’ll make them a lot of money.

How to Act on a Job

A good personality helps. Show in a quiet way that you are mature and can act in a professional manner. Indeed, in this world of glamour and image and fawned-over beauty, the big irony is that the more grounded you are, the more successful you will be.

Go to bed early the night before a shoot. Don’t show up hung-over. Be on time. Be an active participant in the process without being opinionated. It’s a matter of learning your place in the process. No one really cares about your opinion on how you look. You need to know your best side and your body angles. Be calm. Be ready to work. Don’t complain. Don’t be grumpy. Don’t make crazy requests (for special food, car services, free clothes, and so on). Remember that the maximum amount of time you’ll be in front of the camera for a full-day shoot will be two hours.
