new face, someone who, perhaps, has never
even been in a photographic studio before,
and with no previous modelling experience
and do some photos for them which, with
a professional touch and some guidance,
can IMPROVE their chances of being offered
an interview with reputable agents." —Photographer

them." —Model, Actress, and
