What other fashion photography questions do you have?

As a model manager, the absolute greatest thing I heard from her(aside from the other great things) is she said "Think in a commercial mindset everyday... Today I'm shooting for this client or that client" even when it's person... THE FIRST thing I teach is "Mindset building when workin on being a professional model. This applies the same. Your mindset has to have higher standards in order to achieve greater results. You put your mind to it, it will come. LOVE these tips you gave thank you Lara.

Who needs models when you got a photographer that looks like that? She's one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen in my life including all the supermodels. You could get 2, 000 wonderful stills just out of this video. My mind is blown for today.

The only reason I know any pro photographers is from Digital Rev lol. The good old days 😔

[joeunderbakke]

Hey Lara! Thanks for the great tips. I’m currently stuck on the marketing aspect with commercial/portrait photography and am wondering if you have any additional guidance.

You mention sending your work out and it being a numbers game—I have read and heard that a few different places, but I just have no idea who I am supposed to be sending my work to!! Any insight on that would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again for the wonderful info.

It’s like she never aged from digital rev. 😍

[roblindsay]

Lara -- are there any successful shooters in fashion over 50 who didn't start much earlier? I'm wondering how much age can be a block to getting hired by younger creatives.

[DavidSenteno]

Great video. Straight to the point and easy to understand. Would you say that Fashion and Product photography are similar in the way you get clients?

I notice you do a fair number of shoots from roof tops. How do you go about getting access to do that?
