Where Florida Models build their modeling careers You don't need a modeling school. You only need us. The best information for aspiring Florida models and professional Florida models is here on our Florida modeling career resource web site, and best of all, we are free! UPDATE 01/20/11
- Updates, and an overhaul, to the Florida Modeling Career web site are
waiting for updates to Tampa Bay Modeling, a relaunch of Independent Modeling,
and the launch of Advanced Model. UPDATE 11/04/10
- We did a lot of file cleanup of the site today, renaming directories
and adjusting the layout of the Florida Modeling Career site (if anyone
book marked any old site files, they may not work now, so please, redo
your book marks. Effectively, today, we completely took down the old site,
deleting all files, and uploaded the new files. It may look the same,
but this site is now new). We also disconnected the networking portion
of the site, which will not be used anymore, as this is a Florida-region
modeling resource site. UPDATE 03/19/10 - I haven't forgotten about Florida Modeling Career! Despite the inactivity on this web site, which is still adrift on the Internet, search engine performance is getting a lot better; it should, as it launched on July 16, 2008. The work on Independent Modeling and Tampa Bay Modeling is almost finished, after which they will see regular updates. Advanced Model should launch....... in April 2010, like a spring chick. Sandwiched in between Independent Modeling and Advanced Model, I will take a week to bring this site up to speed, and install the features that should have been installed the summer of 2008 (after which this site will also see regular updates). Like Tampa Bay Modeling, Florida Modeling Career will utilize many of Independent Modeling's features, such as the modeling job board and Risk Analysis System (RAS). Florida Modeling Career should be doing well by its second anniversary in July, and you might recall that Tampa Bay Modeling had a similar evolution. I have a secret project to do today which will enhance Florida Modeling Career, as well as piss of some people. Remember, kid models: Exploitation is not art, and it has no business mixing with modeling! - Florida Modeling Career Director C. A. Passinault UPDATE 10/11/09 - This is annoying. I have the most advanced, effective modeling resource site ever conceived right here, and it has been adrift for over a year. It's like building a super battleship and launching it without a crew and its main guns, and leaving it floating, without power, just offshore. This site is awesome, but it is barely operational (If at all. This is just SAD!). Some parts are missing; it took me a few minutes to figure out the official launch date, and I still don't know if this is the fourth Raptor Class site! So, what happened? Back in July 2008, it launched, but in August some really weird stuff was going on (I could argue that it was one of the worst experiences of my life, and I am still working on legal action to address a crime which was committed against me), and I was sidetracked. I didn't get to do any more updates. In the year since, much of the advanced tools developed for this site have been applied to Tampa Bay Modeling and Independent Modeling. Well, right now I am working on getting Tampa Bay Modeling ready for its fifth anniversary on October 18, 2009. I intend to focus on Florida Modeling Career in late October, and it will be fully, completely operational in November, 2009. This just sucks, but it can be rectified. The opinion section needs to be dropped from the menu, and a market section needs to be added, as well as a modeling blog (or an updates section), among other things (I need to reference some information on the current placeholder index page of Tampa Bay Photographers, and my notes, for clues on what needs to be done here). Grrrr.... hows this going to look in the official account of the history of the Florida Modeling Career site? "Florida Modeling Career launched in July 2008, barely finished, and then was neglected for over a year. In November, 2009, it was finally fully operational, with some of the most advanced modeling career tools and resources ever created online.". I suppose that I will have to spin it. One cool thing, however, is that I can make some last minute improvements to the new tools before I deploy them. This is going to become an incredible site, and it will inspire new work, new tools, and improvements on the other modeling resource sites! Florida Modeling Career is a sweet site, and it will be the most advanced modeling resource site in the world, being even more effective than Tampa Bay Modeling and Independent modeling. That's worth finishing, and continued work! Grrrrrrrr...... Florida model Lynn Slawsky was in Brandon, and not Clearwater, when I took that picture of her, too, so that needs to be fixed! I did another shoot with her and another model in Clearwater, however, and that is probably where the mix-up came from. Lynn is a great swimsuit model, by the way! - Florida Modeling Career Director C. A. Passinault FLORIDA MODELING CAREER WHERE FLORIDA MODELS BUILD THEIR CAREERS Please note that Tampa modeling portfolio photography company Aurora PhotoArts Tampa Photography and Design is our only advertiser, and that we are directly affiliated with them. You do not have to obtain any services from them in order to use this web site, as they help run this site in order to help Florida models and the Florida modeling industry. Florida Modeling Career, Tampa Bay Modeling, and Independent Modeling will be removing their google ads in July 2008, replacing those with the ads of Aurora PhotoArts. Welcome to Florida
Modeling Career, your one-stop modeling career resource for Florida! While
our web site emphasizes Florida modeling and professional Florida models,
the information, modeling job leads, and modeling career tools are not
limited to Florida or any other region, and can be adapted and used for
any modeling career regardless of where you work! Florida Modeling Career Main Sections 1.

We've improved on what has worked, and have made it much easier to use.

Interactive tutorials are scenario-based, and inform while entertaining (that's all that we can disclose at this time). 7. Florida Modeling Jobs - Our Florida modeling job board and modeling job resource, derived from the one developed by Independent Modeling, has a modeling job board which has a paid job section and a professional service exchange section.

UPDATES - NEWS - MODEL BLOG - OPINION - CONTACT Important Florida Modeling Career information for professional models Florida Modeling Career Tips for Professional Models 1. Do NOT let any modeling agency manage your career. Use several agencies as a source of modeling jobs, and nothing more. A modeling and talent agency is a working conflict of interest and caters to an environment of politics, career manipulation, intimidation of those who they represent, and unbalanced business relationships. How are they a working conflict of interest? They also represent your competition, which are the other models who are competing against you for modeling jobs. How can you trust their advice when they can position other models to have an advantage over you? 2. The modeling agency works
for the model. You are their boss, and it is not the other way around.
Sure, they may represent models, but they do not employ
the models and the models actually employ their services. Until recently,
the modeling industry has been unbalanced, elitist, and backwards. Disagree?
When was the last time that you saw an employee tell their boss what to
do? The employee wouldn't have a job long with that insubordinate attitude.
Even so, modeling agencies thrive on this, get away with it, and get off
on telling models, who they work for, what to do. This is unacceptable. 3. Modeling and talent agencies
will say that no one will book a model who tries to obtain a modeling
job without agency representation because such models are less reliable
than agency-referred models. They also will say that their clients, the
businesses and art directors looking for models for their jobs, are not
qualified to evaluate models without the help of the agency. 4. We don't care what supermodel
X said in her best-selling modeling book. Some of that
advice is biased and caters to the modeling industry that the model is
in twined in. The information may not necessarily be in the best interest
of the model, and if the model follows it, they will harm their modeling
career or will become more vulnerable to being scammed. 5. Find a modeling portfolio
photographer and invest in a professional modeling portfolio and composite
cards BEFORE you look for a modeling agency. Florida modeling
and talent agencies are regulated by the state of Florida under the Florida
Department of Business and Professional Regulation (DBPR). In order to
be legal, a Florida modeling and talent agency has to have a Talent Agency
license, which is represented by a TA#. The requirements for Talent Agency
TA licenses are extensive, and models need to know what those regulations
are. Florida modeling and talent agency laws are designed to prevent conflicts
of interest situations and situation where modeling agencies can scam
models, but in our experience, and in our opinion, smart con artists with
the motivation to abuse the laws regulating agencies have been able to
do so with few repercussions other than models being upset with them after
they were scammed by the modeling agency. FLORIDA MODELING CAREER PUBLISHED 11/04/10 UPDATED 04/19/11 |
