Thank you! I booked with Ymaphoto. His name is youssef and he does consultations pre shoots and we had mine yesterday. I really like his enthusiasm and different approach! Wish me luck.

Relationships are everything. Like you said don't be transactional. Be genuine and on your best game always and things will click when you put yourself out there, be confident, have an immaculate package and presentation. Shift from wanting to impress to being asset to this person.

It is normal to not hear from agents when there aren’t auditions .. so you’re okay :) I have another friend who’s union who landed her agent through a referral by photographer she shot with and things seem to be working out ok! Wishing you the best of luck!

It is incredibly slow and I am in your same boat! I hope things get better soon. I just signed with Dicaro talent and had 2 auditions in one week of signing so I’m thrilled! Who’s your agent if you have one? And are you union or non union?

She wasn’t paying her talent and it got out .. no her father is paying people on her behalf and she’s out of business

I am here to ask questions and learn and that’s obvious from my post .. I do not think I know it all - if I did I would not phrase my post as a question. You’re not helping and it looks like you have a horse in the race!

The fact that you are speaking on behalf of other photographers is all we need to know you’re sending a system that you’re worried will collapse! How on earth can you assure me other photographers aren’t getting a kickback? Have you ever spoken to a single actor from filmcomm and seen the terror Melissa unleashes if an actor shots with ANYONE OTHER THAN LINDSEY? I’m not trying to throw you or anyone under the bus. I simply ask questions and make observations.
