I had a meeting today to show my book to the CEO of a major modeling agency headquartered here in L.A. and hot damn if i didn't i book my first shoot with them on the spot! I have a solid body of work now and i found that selling your abilities in a face to face meeting with a power broker is a skill you never lose. I used to walk into the wolves to pitch and sell a concept daily when i was an AD and today i pitched and sold just like old times. A solid book and a little charm and fearless confidence still goes a long way in this town.
I'll be doing tests for their new faces division. It looks like an interesting team I'll be working with and I'm excited about it. I clicked real well with my contact and we seem to be on the same page creatively and that's always a huge plus. This is a great step forward for me in advancing my photo career. Now don't get me wrong i love shooting naked girls, but i also like to be challenged and try new things and it will be great fun to do some fitness and fashion models as well as some stuff with a much more commercial appeal.
I walked in with a smile and i walked out with a job.

Congratulations!!!! Good luck with your new job!
Congratulations! Nobody deserves it more than you!!
About to take the world of high fashion by storm! The Notorious Jenny DeMilo strikes again!
yay! Congrats! :)
What do you shoot with? The pic looks like a Canon XT/XTi. I've been stalking the 24-70 2.8L for like 2 years now....though I haven't pulled the trigger because I can't justify it.....yet.
Congrats! Next stop, Playboy?
Hey thanks everyone for the well wishes. Its a small step but its an important one.
Yes TR thats an XT. I like it because its light weight and i can hold it up for long shoots and thats a canon 55mm 1.8 lens on it. the Nifty fucking fifty! its a great piece of glass!
jenny: I too shoot with an XT. I love my Nifty 50, particularly for portraits.
