MODELING CALL DETAILS

It's Official!! Our January modeling call and photo shoot will be held at Union 206 Studios in Alexandria, Virginia!*

DATE: Saturday, 19 Jan 2013

TIME: 10:00 a.m.

LOCATION: 350 Calvert Ave, Alexandria, VA 22301

WHAT TO BRING: Photo ID, Fashionable Clothing and any Jewelry, Accessories or Hand Props you'd like to be photographed with.

Because we will be providing free portfolio photos and head shots, this opportunity will be restricted to no more than twenty models.  Space will be limited, so be sure to register soon to confirm your attendance.

TO REGISTER: Send e-mail to steve@sestudiosdc.com.  Include your full name, e-mail and phone number so that we can confirm your registration.  Include the role you would like to participate in (Model, Hair or Makeup Artist, Designer, etc.) and any additional people that will be bringing with you.

This event is open to aspiring models as well as established professionals looking to update their portfolio.  We will have hair and makeup artist present to help you look your best for the camera.

You’ll have an opportunity to capture more than one style, so feel free to bring more than one change of wardrobe as dressing rooms will be available.

If you are new to modeling or maybe need a little refresher to prepare for this event, remember these great tips: [1]

OPEN CALLS:  Models attending open calls…please be on time.  And remember to either bring your portfolio or photos.  Composite cards are not necessary.  Always bring heels, minimum makeup and LEAVE YOUR PROBLEMS AT THE DOOR; meaning come with a beautiful personality and a warm smile.  Think of this as your most important job interview. 

You will only make ONE first impression.  Even though many bookers do not require a complete portfolio, others will only look at your book during an interview.  SO DON'T FORGET IT!!!  Think of it like school…those who showed up to class without their books and pencils did not succeed.  Put time into your portfolio/photos.  But most importantly, PUT TIME INTO YOUR APPEARANCE!!!  Dress to impress, and good luck!

MAILING PHOTOS: When an agency ask for photos mailed, its best to send your BEST three photos.  One should be at least a full body and one should be a good headshot.  Be sure to send the photos "Attention" whichever division you are wishing to work for.  Example..."Attn: Women Division" or "Attn: Mens Division".  Do not expect to get your photos back unless you include a self-addressed envelope.

OPEN MODEL CALL & STUDIO SHOOT

We are happy to announce that SE Studios DC will be hosting an open modeling call and photo shoot on Saturday, January 19th at 10:00am in Upper Marlboro, MD.

SE Studios is looking for male and female models to participate in a series of photo shoots to expand our portfolio.  This opportunity is open to professionals and amateurs interested in adding to their own portfolio or breaking into the industry.

We're also looking for Fashion Boutiques, Clothing Designers, Makeup Artists, and Hair Stylists who would like to showcase their products / work.

Depending on the number of participants, this event will last approximately 4-6 hours beginning with introductions and a brief interview period.  We'll then lead into a full studio shoot.  All participants,  including designers, stylists and other artists, will receive free portfolio/ promotional photos just for attending.

Then, roughly three weeks later, we'll follow up with an on-site session in Washington DC.  At that time we will have photos from the previous event available, including headshots for those who requested promotional prints.

For details and directions, send an e-mail to: Steve@sestudiosdc.com. Be sure to include your name, contact information, and how you would like to participate (Model, Designer, Stylist etc.)  along with any questions and if anyone else you know that might be interested.
