Location: NORTHERN California
: I have a few (4) questions to ask and would appreciate your help.
: #1. ...the jobs haven't been as expected. Is it Atlanta or is it me?
Could be Atlanta. It also depends on how you sell
yourself. Have you sent cards to all the possible
clients in the area?
: #2. Does a model provide hair, make up, and wardrobe? (I thought the client provided these.)
Depends on the gig. If it is a TFP thing, yes, you might be doing all the work. A lot of the low-pay
gigs, the model is her own staff.
: #3. I am relocating to New York City, Miami, or Los Angeles. (It is for school as well as modeling.) Given my look, which do you think is best? Any recommendations for agencies? photographers or MUA (preferably who need models or will work for trade)?
Better question. Can you afford New York? Cost of living is higher and finding a place isn't easy. As
for Miami or LA, there are more school choices in LA,
and it isn't as warm as Miami. Do you have any contacts in either place?
: #4. Finally, is there anything I should change about my look? (thinking of cutting or coloring hair)
Personal opinion. Keep your hair color.
: Thanks, in advance
