Advanced Model Masterclass

In times of social media, just about anyone is a model now... and even those models that are working regularly, rarely ever receive any professional training. Yet, "a lot of experience" is written on each and every model's profile, but without proper training, that experience may not be worth a whole lot, as most of it was unguided, repetitive action following the instructions of a photographer who, guess what - also never received any model training!

“Hard work beats talent ​
- when talent doesn't work hard.”
 
Quote by T. Notke

Welcome to your Advanced Model Masterclass,

my name is Alexander Lindstrem and I have NO Sed card for you today...

​

...because when I look at your profiles, be it social media, modelkartei or model mayhem, I already know what I will see: bikini shots, wrong or missing configuration sizes, not a single proper headshot where I can clearly see your eye color, hell I often can't even determine the real hair color before a booking, not a single photo without make-up, tell me that's not you? â€‹

Look, this is not your fault - no one trained you on a professional level because most likely you are a freelancer and no one cares to take photos of you that YOU need because you get paid to shoot photos what they need and it is of course a logical and simple endless circle... just as simple as understanding that this is an amateur level and anyone in the industry can instantly tell. ​If you are ready to advance and go the next step in your career, you will need to invest in yourself, invest time, mindset and even money. Yes, I know, that last part will be very foreign to you as you are used to getting paid and not the other way around but just let that sink in for a moment and you will get over it... eventually.​

You don't know
- what YOU DON'T KNOW.
