How To Shoot With Modeling Agencies

Want to learn how to shoot with modeling agencies?

In this blog you will learn exactly how I do it and exactly how you can do it too. Watch the video below for a quick step-by-step process or read the blog for a in-depth process.

STEP 1: Send The Modeling Agency This Email

"Hey (replace with name of the person you're contacting if you can find if you can find one)!

I'm currently working on my book and would love to discuss working with your new faces to build it.

Let's talk!

p.s. I've attached two photos that showcase my style"

STEP 2: Meet The Modeling Agency

Some agencies will want you to meet them. If this is the case go well dressed and bring your best work via physical portfolio or iPad/laptop (some agencies want to see physical portfolios although this is not very common anymore).

STEP 3: Schedule Your First Shoot With A Model

To schedule a shoot you will have to send a request. Below you will see what I send.

Remember: agency models want to build their portfolio so only schedule a shoot if you have work that is beneficial for both you, the model and the modeling agency.

Here’s what I email:

"Hi (name of agent),

Could we setup a shoot for (next (day of shoot))?

Here's the request:

Date: (date you would like to shoot)

Time: (time you would like to shoot)

Location: (location you would like to shoot)

Please bring: (what you would like the model to bring)

Stylist: (how you will style or name of stylist)

MUA: (name of MUA)

Assistant: (name of assistant)

Thanks,

Kyle Benjamin Turner"
