More on Tattoos…

by AMS Models & Talent

So, I hate to hammer my point into the ground but one of my beautiful models just lost out on an amazing job because of a tattoo she has on her back. She and I discussed this and she is fine with me making this a teachable moment for people who may want to model. [...]

To Tattoo or not to Tattoo…that is the question.

by AMS Models & Talent

I have put off a post like this for a long time. Mostly because tattoos are a really personal choice and a bit of a touchy subject. I am only posting now because they DO relate to the field of modeling and I it has been coming up a lot in the office lately, so [...]

Hints for a good photo shoot

by AMS Models & Talent

• Make sure that your make up is PERFECT! Hire a stylist for your shoot unless you are very good with hair and makeup (and by this I mean you do this for a living). If your hair and make -up are not good- your photos won’t be good. If you hire a stylist (ladies) [...]

In regards to the comment made by scouting company

by AMS Models & Talent

Sometimes when you try to do the right thing it makes you a target. Well I wear my bulls eye proudly this week. If you see below, the “scouting company” saw fit to finally come out of their hole and attack me. I could have just deleted their comment but I thought I would continue [...]

Talent Searches

by AMS Models & Talent

Well today was a good day to be an honest talent manager. I got to see first hand (it has been years since I had the displeasure) one of these “talent search” companies in action. It was disturbing to watch a fast talking, well trained young pitch man (I’m pretty sure I have shoes in [...]

The models were NOT unattractive! The photos and the way they were presented was very disturbing! I am SO glad we are having [...]

So what the heck do you need an agent for?

by AMS Models & Talent

Did you ever think about why talent agents or managers really exist? Is it because someone wanted to make a lot of money? TRUST ME that is not the reason (uh- I drive a 3 year old Ford Escape…lol) There are times I think I must be some kind of masochist. This is often a [...]

Every time I have anything to do with this organization I am overwhelmed but the response that I get and how much I am moved by the people I come in contact with. Eating disorders [...]

TImes they are a changing…

by AMS Models & Talent

I know it has been a while since I have posted but it has been a strange and busy year for most people including me. The agency is still doing and has felt the pinch of the economy but we are still going strong because we are still holding to our core values of representing [...]
