Photograph by Tampa photographer C. A. Passinault.Image four of our online portfolio of another Tampa model. This photograph, if we are not mistaken, was taken on location in the Tampa Bay area. The best modeling portfolio photographs are location shots.This is another great picture. This is the fifth model photograph on Tampa Bay Modeling. Pictures featured in our thumbnail array may not be the same as those of models which are in our featured model section, but often, they are one and the same.Unmatched in any Florida modeling market. The quality of this image is excellent! Photograph by C. A. Passinault, our resident photographer and modeling expert.Another top Tampa model gets their look on. The best models can obtain a wide range of looks, as you can see when you look at other pictures of this model!Is it any wonder why more and more companies and art directors are booking independent models without going through an agency? Proof that you can be a professional model, with a lucrative career, without being dependent upon an agency to find and book modeling jobs!Another awesome photograph of a Tampa model by modeling photographer C. A. Passinault, lead photographer Aurora PhotoArts, and director of Tampa Bay Modeling.For modeling portfolio work in the Tampa Bay area, nothing beats location work. Studio photography is not nearly as cost effective, or appropriate, for modeling portfolio work.Keep in mind that this picture, for a modeling portfolio, was taken by a qualified modeling portfolio photographer, C. A. Passinault, for a specialized, professional market, which is modeling. A wedding photographer or a portrait studio will not be able to give models what they need for an effective modeling portfolio, as you have to know what you are doing!This is the 12th picture in our Tampa Bay Modeling online portfolio. Yet another Tampa model shows a marketable look in their portfolio. The best models are capable of the most looks, and are not locked into a single look!Agency model or independent model? It doesnt matter, anymore, especially in Tampa Bay. Professional models like this one can be booked without going through an agency, saving both the model and the job agency fees.Modeling portfolios need at least six looks, and by looks, we mean different looks. A composite cards needs at least five, on average, with a headshot on the front, and four different looks on the back of the comp card. This Tampa model is demonstrating a marketable look right now, in this photography. Picture by C. A. Passinault.

In The Realm Of The Jedi Models

Page 2 of 8


Cameron thought about the models who always said that you didn't have to go to school to learn how to walk. Maybe they were wrong. If she were to cut her toe, she'd be obvious with all of the hopping around and screaming that she would be doing. Cammy was a screamer, too. This was impossible compared to print modeling. God. It looked like half of Mila's big toenail was about to come off. Unlike print modeling, where you kept taking pictures until you got the shot you were looking for, you had to get this perfect the first time. There were no second chances to fix things once a runway show began.
Mila stood in front of Ericka. She looked her over. Ericka looked as if she were in front of a firing squad. Ericka lowered her head in submission.
"Ericka, you are like gazelle. Your legs are flawless, and you carry yourself like diva. Project your grace and eloquence! You are game prize that hunters want!"
She moved down the line.
"Amy Jo, you are like European model. You look like fashion embodied into woman. You remind me of my own daughter. Surely you can do this!"
She moved to Cameron. Cameron looked her straight in the eye. She tilted her head to the side. Damn her for who she was. She braced herself for an insult.
"Cameron, there is a fire in your spirit. You are a special, special model. You are all the passions of the industry in a person. You are perhaps the most beautiful model in this city, yes? I expect you to be the best one day. All Tampa will be at your feet. Miami will scream your name in joy! Maybe New York. Maybe Paris. There is something great about you, and you have yet to achieve it. I would like to help you begin your journey down career path!"
Cameron didn't know what was happening. "I'm sorry, but I'm just not that good at walking."
Wow. Why in the hell did she just say that? Next time, she might as well ask for a gun and shoot herself.
"You are but diamond in the rough, young one. Does a toddler apologize for the transition from crawling to walking? They do not! The toddler is happy with glee and claps loudly when they walk! Some toddlers grow strong and run marathons when they become adults."
Mila looked her up and down. She smiled. The smile seemed to mock her.
"Never, ever apologize like that again, Cameron! You will not show your weakness among those who you have not entered into trust with. Trust no strangers with your doubts. You must embrace your weaknesses and work to make them strengths while appearing strong to the others. Talent must become skill, but you must protect yourself as you transform to the model you should - you will - become. This industry can destroy those that appear weak! Perception. Say the word. Perception! Good. Learn what it means. Perception is reality, and it is the only way that others see you before they get to know you."
Mila stepped back and looked at the three models.
"You will go home now and rest. Tomorrow you will all begin to do. I expect no less from all of you! No more of this try!"
The three models walked back to the area where the other models were. Amy Jo managed to speak to Cameron.
"I'm glad you said it and I didn't have to. Keep saying what you are thinking!"
She laughed.
Cameron began to wonder what in the hell she had gotten herself into. This show was far from a laughing matter, and it was a source of great misery for her.
The models filed out of the theater. The brick stone surface of Franklin street in the downtown area of Tampa was hot from the late afternoon sun.
She walked over to Polk street and waited for her ride.
She placed her duffel bag at her feet, leaned against a wall, and looked at her watch. She exhaled. Why was he always late? What a moron. It took moments to put her headset on her ear, and she made the call.
"Hey there. I'm finished. Are you almost here?"
She strained to listen. Reception downtown was terrible. The buildings were everywhere, and she felt like she was at the low point of a canyon. A canyon made of concrete and glass .
"Ok, I'll be here. See you in a minute."
