They told me I had great potential and wanted me to come down to Orlando. The price of the trip wasn't as high as the previous company's convention was, so I gave it a shot. Many requirements go into preparing for a convention. You must get a certain amount of pictures, including a full body and a head shot, and then there's the fright of runway walking, and preparing for different segments the convention might hold. I became acquainted with a local agency in order to get some professional pictures done.
Photo shoots are an amazing experience.
It's all about makeup and fooling people to perceive you as a goddess. The key to a successful shoot is the photographer. I was a little taken aback by mine, but after getting to know his personality, the eccentricity of his looks faded. After my first shoot, I thought I did great, but then the pictures came out. I knew I had so much more personality to show, and it wasn't coming through in the pictures, which is a crucial factor of modeling.
