Photographing Agency Models

Presented By Ken Kneringer And Laura Arick

One of the most important lessons I’ve learned in over 35 years behind the camera is this: what you put in front of your camera matters. It matters more than the type of camera, lens, megapixels, techniques, or even the latest presets. Collaborating with top agency models, celebrities, and people of interest is the ultimate way to stand out as a photographer in any market.

This program delves into the art and business of photographing agency models, offering valuable insights for photographers at every level of experience. Participants will learn how to navigate the unique challenges and opportunities of working with professional models. From understanding agency expectations to mastering techniques that enhance natural beauty and showcase clothing or products, this program equips photographers with the tools they need to succeed.

What You’ll Learn:

  • Agency Expectations: Understand what modeling agencies expect from photographers and how to meet those standards.
  • Making the Connection: Learn the do’s and don’ts of reaching out to agencies and securing your first model shoot.
  • Building Your Team: Discover the essential team members—stylists, makeup artists, and more—that are critical when working with agencies.
  • Industry Terminology: Get familiar with key industry terms like tests, favored nations, bookers, bookings, development, main board, styling, fashion stories, and mood boards.
  • Live Shooting Tips: Gain hands-on experience with live model shoots, covering posing techniques, on-set etiquette, teamwork, lens selection, lighting setups, and more.

Through interactive discussions, live photo shoots, and real-world examples, participants will build confidence and acquire the skills to create stunning visuals. The program also focuses on fostering a collaborative environment and building a portfolio that meets industry standards. Perfect for photographers looking to:

  • Elevate their craft.
  • Expand their product offerings.
  • Build a solid reputation that attracts top-tier models.

By the end of this program, you’ll be equipped to deliver exceptional results and take your photography career to the next level.
