In the 25 plus years of professional photography I have worked with many models, musicians and dancers providing headshots and portfolio photos. If you didn't ask you'd never know.
For years the focus of my commercial photography marketing has been on product, food and interior design photography. I ignored marketing executive portraits, headshots and portfolio services. About a year ago, in the height of the recession, I had to make some changes. I expanded. I moved into my new beautiful studios in Westlake. I expanded my server capabilities to better serve my clients and I have gradually expanded marketing additional services. First it was executive portraits. Now that I have better studio facilities I'm adding portfolio services and headshots for models, aspiring models, actors, dancers and musicians etc. to my marketing. Yes, Douglas does (photograph) models.
No, this local market in Northeast Ohio is not a major market for fashion models. It is a great market for part time models and "real people" models. I recently completed a job for a client that makes products used in the construction industry. I used the real construction workers on the job. The dirt, the sweat, the real tans and even the real tattoos made the project very real. My client was very pleasantly surprised. The example image you see here was using real kids for a client's promotion.
Aggressively marketing model headshots and portfolio photos is phase one of my serious entry into the modeling industry.
