1 shoot, 2 shoot, 1 Runway

Life has been crazy the last few weeks, so because of that I have not been able to do as many shoots as I care to do. However, I think the chaos has left, so I should be starting to do more and more. I have a shoot on Saturday. Actually I have two not just one. The first one is a new concept to me, and I am so excited for it. It will be an amazing addition to my portfolio. The shoot, is a body paint shoot. I will be painted to mimic a Monarch butterfly. I will also have 8ft wings to pose with, which should pose an interesting challenge. It will be a very directed shoot since the background will be added in in the post process. Its different to what I am used to because I am used to using my imagination and just going with free style poses. The body painting process is going to take about 4 hours before the shoot even starts. And since its a kinds odd situation a good friend of mine will be attending the shoot with me. Just to keep an eye out. Anyways, back to the shoot. The actual shoot will only last an hour or two, then washing everything off with be another 30-60 minutes.

After all of that, I head off to do another shoot with Dress To Thrill. Another one on one shoot. This time we are going for more artistic concepts, and a few more action ones as well. I always have fun with these shoots, and we get some great results. O! Head shots are also needed at this time, so we will be doing several of those as well.

 

As i get more experience I am wanting to venture out into runway. This will be very hard for me to do since im not the usual 5’7-5’11 height, but you never know until you try. I would rather go and audition and be rejected than not even try at all. I know I will get rejected WAY more than accepted, but if you cant get over rejection in this industry then dont enter it to begin with. Its time to work on my walk, and look for castings. This should be interesting, and naturally I will keep everyone on here updated.

 

Not model related, I am going to start my own personal blog away from this one. Feel free to check it out if you wish.

Miss Mint

So this is along the lines of modeling, but it is an experience I have yet to have.  The Miss Mint competition is 4 years old, an in some ways it is kinda like a pageant, only on the internet. I entered several weeks ago, and I just recently discovered that I had gotten through the first round, and into the second, where 151 girls were selected out of thousands of entries. This second round is now the voting round, where everyday people, vote on their favorite. I will admit, im not one for popularity so my numbers are suffering. If you all would please please vote for me, I would be so happy. This is something I really am striving for. It would help get my name out there as a model, which would help so so much. I thank you each in advance for voting, it really does mean a lot to me, and if i get into the next round, I will be sure to keep everyone updated on the competition. Thank you so much, here is the link: http://themint400.com/2012/02/janae-coe/

Pre-shoot

Hello everyone! This is not a blog, but more of a pre-blog series of the up coming week.  I have 5 photo shoots within a 10 day period.  It is my intention to share my experiences one at a time as they happen. Possible try to give newer models a sense of security. I know its scary going to a photo shoot with a photographer you have never met personally before, but after awhile you get used to it, and start to enjoy the experience of meeting new people.  Now im not saying security is not important, its always important.  There are always people out there trying to take advantage of other people and trying to hurt other people.  So safety first!  When a photographer contacts me I always check out their business, if they have one. If not I check out their name.  If they are a brand new starting photographer neither of these will work, and in that instance you may request to bring an escort. Red flags to look for:  If they ask you to deposit money into your account and then send money to an unknown persons. This is a scam, and its a fake check.  The bank will hold you responsible for all the money. This is kinda vague but if they seem suspicious or unprofessional in any way. Asking for nude pictures, asking to skype are examples. These are only a few red flags, but you do need to have a sense of your own safety. Only you can judge what is real and what is not. Oh! random thought, also ask the photographer for all the information before the shoot, so you know exactly what to expect.

Anywho, My shoots are on the 16, 17, 19, 20, and the 25th.
16th will be a photo salon with 2 different photographers, and several models. Anywhere between 2 and 8 can show up. Ideally 4 or 5 is best. But its a time to try new things and have fun, and meet other models and photographers.
17th is just a expand your book shoot. No golas are set, no plans, just going to have fun, shoot ideas back and forth and see what we can come up with. It should be fun.
19th is a night shoot, and we shall be “Jumping” in and out of the car, driving around to different places to get several different looks.
20th is an artistic shoot done in a studio with lots of mirrors. We are trying to recreate a photo called “Sheer Beauty”. We also want to experiment with a blue light seeing what we can come up with there.
25th is a car shoot for a calendar, some amazing cars too! Im excited, I love cars, and these are super pretty cars. Plus, it will be interesting to see what will happen with the cars. Its a bit bigger than any prop I have used before. If fact its almost that im the prop, not the car.

So those are the outlines. I will share my experiences as they happen, on here.

This is My Simple, Crazy Life.
