We work with models already agency signed and those looking to get their first start.
In this workshop we will work with you one-on-one in a hands on approach tailored to your body type, age group, and your most viable market category. If you're new to the modeling world, we'll help you understand the industry, the terminology, what to expect and teach you core modeling techniques, share key tips/tricks and ultimately build a dynamic working modeling portfolio that you can sucessfully get started with.
For already freelancing or working models, you already understand how difficult it is to break into the market. You also understand that posing for your friends and selfies is far different than modeling for professional photographers, designers, brands and meeting agency expectations. Like anything you do successful in life, it requires an education to learn the trade, a willingness to practice the techniques and a perseverance to make the dream come true.

TESTIMONIAL
Dorian Boccari / Signed Model
I recently completed a "Modeling Posing" workshop with Monica and Nicole at the studio and I HIGHLY recommend this Posing workshop as a FIRST step or refresher for anyone interested in the modeling profession. As a new model, who worked with many photographers and already completed my portfolio, I did not feel fully comfortable and confident with my poses. This class was a comprehensive class and taught me so much about flow posing, touch point posing and body breaking and was broken down in detail by each body part from head to toe. More importantly, the workshop was tailored specifically to my body type and as a model you learn very quickly that not all poses look good on all body types. The workshop covered so much more than posing, for example, understanding your wardrobe and understanding what or who you are modeling for. Had I done this class before completing my modeling portfolio, I know I could have collaborated and contributed much more creatively with the photographers. This class is a MUST for all model types and definitely fills a void in the modeling industry which lacks a workshop of this type. Monica and Nicole are also two very special people with infectious energy and positivity and are determined to make sure you are well prepared, comfortable and confident for future photoshoots. I am so grateful to have worked with such a creative and talented team and I cannot thank Monica and Nicole enough for guiding and sharing their expertise with me.”

Wow is all I can say. First off I am so impressed with the variety of locations and poses you were able to get! These turned out incredible, the looks, location changes and backgrounds are all perfect. I have to say I'm also shocked / impressed with how natural Daniel looks in these. This being his first shoot ever, I was expecting a lot less but I am ecstatic with how these turned out so thank you for all your help! I think we are going to be able to book him for a ton of sport specific stuff as well as life-style shoots, especially after seeing these. "
