How do I find a professional photographer to shoot my first modeling photos?
When approaching a photographer make sure that his/her style of photography coincides with what you want to portray.
If you are dead set on high fashion catwalk work, then don’t go to a glamour photographer – go to a fashion photographer. But if you don’t fit the height requirements of a fashion model then you should consider that glamour modeling is possibly what you should be chasing and approach a photographer with credentials in the field of glamour and print photography.
Always ask to see the photographer's work. These days this can easily be viewed on the photographer’s website. Do you like his style of photography?
Does he/she appear to be reputable and is he a published photographer with clients whose names you recognize?
What makes a good photographer?
Obviously this is an open ended question with thousands of permutations.
But I would recommend that you find a published photographer – that is a photographer whose work is currently appearing in magazines and commercials that you would like to be published in.
Professional photographers will always welcome you bringing a chaperone or a friend on your shoots or go-sees. Beware the photographer who insists you come on your own!
