HOW TO DETERMINE A CREDIBLE MODELING AGENCY| compiled by jkk for aspiring professional models
A LEGITIMATE MODELING AGENCY
invests money and time into developing their talent so they can increase their status within the industry.
:: A top and credible agency will help train models, get test shoots, layout portfolios, and put together “comp cards” and the various printed materials the model/talent needs to effectively launch and establish a career.
:: A Legitimate Agency will find work for models by presenting them to designers, photographers, and ad agencies.
:: The agencies are also responsible for booking the jobs, billing for the jobs, and eventually paying the models for their time. By handling the details, an agency allows a model to focus on modeling and not on the business end.
:: A legitimate Agency will have contacts with good professional photographers, graphic designers and printers to prepare a model's marketing/publicity materials for their talent
:: Because modeling is a very competitive, fast moving business that extends beyond the traditional business hours, an agency will generally handle business side of the talents career 24/7
:: The Bigger Agencies typically have a service or an operator to handle emergency issues after hours [an emergency is a cancellation + a rush job]
:: No reputable agency charges for representation, but the agent may recommend steps that will cost money, especially when talent is starting out

The DHARMA ART LETTER by Chogyam Trungpa Rinpoche
DHARMA ART LETTER | written by Chogyum Trungpa Rinpoche
"In talking about Dharma Art here, we do not mean art, which necessarily depicts Buddhist symbols or ideas, but rather art which springs from a certain state of mind on the part of the artists.
We can call this the meditative state: an attitude of directness and unselfconsciousness in one’s creative work.
The basic problem of artistic endeavor is the tendency to split the artists from the ‘audience,’ trying to send a message from one to the other.
When this happens, art becomes exhibitionism: the person who gets some tremendous flash of inspiration, them rushes to ‘put it down on paper’ to impress or excite others; or the very deliberate artist who strategizes each step of his work to produce certain effects on his viewers.
No matter how well intentioned or how technically accomplished, these approaches inevitably become clumsy and aggressive, towards others and toward oneself.
In ‘meditative’ art, the artist embodies the viewer as well as the creator as he works. Vision is not separate from operation, and there is no fear of being clumsy or failing to achieve his aspiration: he simply makes his painting, poem, piece of music, whatever.
In this sense, a complete novice could pick up a brush and, with the right state of mind, produce a masterpiece. This is possible. But it is a very hit-and-miss approach.
In art, as in life generally, we need to study our craft, develop our skills, and absorb the knowledge and insight passed down by tradition.
But whether we have the attitude of a student, who could still become more proficient in handling his materials, or the attitude of an accomplished master, when we are actually creating a work of art there is a sense of total confidence; our message is simply appreciating the nature of things as they are and expressing it without any struggle of thoughts and fears.
We give up aggression, either toward ourselves – that we have to make a special effort to impress people; or toward others – that we can put something over them. Genuine art – Dharma Art- is simply the activity of non-aggression."

JTA's AMY Loubris Blogs about her VICKERY BOOKING & PHOTO SHOOT friday, july 30th, 2010
AMY Loubris: a JTA Management Board Model | Photo: Erin K Sturga | Hair: David Rico | MUA: Heathyrre Kautz | Fashion Styling: Justice Kwesi Kwarteng | Photo Shoot Creative & Art Director: Justice K. Kwarteng | Agency: JTA | www.jmodelsandtalent.ning.com | www.jtamodelsblog.blogspot.com | www.jtamodelingnetwork.blogspot.com | www.amyloubris.blogspot.com
This past Thursday I had a photo shoot with Vickery. It was so much more fun than I was expecting. I wasn't exactly nervous - just didn't know what to expect. They had me arrive with my hair curly and natural looking makeup on. They touched up the makeup for me. I think they shot me in 5 different outfits. All of which were super comfortable, which I know is rare in a photo shoot. This was especially fun because a bunch of women were in the room with me.
Therefore it wasn't awkward at all! I had a dressing room and wasn't rushed at all. I learned some new things... Such as when photographing just pants on a model they must lift their arms up as if they're about to dive into a pool. This lifts and tightens the appearance of the hips and belly area. Never knew that!
It was very comfortable, the whole shoot because they were guiding me every step of the way. I was gliding along with my poses. The whole time I was thinking "wow I really wish there was someone here to video tape this for behind the scenes footage." Oh well. It's the image in my memory that counts the most.
This shoot was very uplifting because the whole time they were all saying how beautiful I looked and how awesome my poses were and how seeing the photos of me it really made them want to purchase most of the items. I can't wait to receive my check in the mail along with the photos somehow. I can't wait to see MY face on an internet or real catalogue!
Finally my Amy Loubris name will be official. It'll be on the record. It'll come up in searches. I cannot wait.
This shoot definitely had a different style of clothing an shoes than what I'm used to. There were heels I had to wear but they weren't tall and "high fashioned" like what I've been practicing in at practice. I kind of had to start new ways of posing. It was a very good learning experience.
Here is a LINK to the tear sheets from the shoot:
