A Short, But Sweet Rant\u2026”Can I Model?”<\/span><\/h3>\n

After more years in this business than I want to say, one of the classic lines I have heard more than any other is “\u2026 Do you think I can model?”<\/p>\n

It has gotten to the point when I get asked “THE” question, I shirk and want to run as quickly as I can from the scenario and pretend that it really didn’t happen. I, probably like most of us being confronted with that question, generally don’t feel comfortable being asked “THAT”.<\/p>\n

So, the next time one of you out there considering this “BIZ” from the receiving end of the lens and want to ask us “THAT” question, consider this\u2026 It is a responsibility that many of us Fashion Photographers would rather not wish to be part of.
\nMy advise to you interested in getting in to the modeling part of this “BIZ”\u00a0 would be this;\u00a0 go to a Model Agency and ask them. They know how to deal with “THAT” question.
