BEGINNING TO WORK IN TEAMS (Patreon)

I continued to organize new photo shoots primarily through web platforms for amateur models. In Berlin, I had more model options available to me than I did in Freiburg and Brest.

I also reached out to some modeling agencies in Berlin to arrange shoots with their models. However, the agencies would only send me new faces from their packages.

My next step was to assemble teams. I conducted online research for stylists, makeup artists, and hairdressers in Berlin. I would review their portfolios on their websites, then send messages to the selected artists to discuss collaborating together. I would share mood boards and ideas for potential photo shoots. Not all artists responded to my requests.

After a few months, I was able to build my first organized teams. We would discuss ideas for our photo shoots, select locations, and create mood boards. Stylists would bring outfits, and makeup and hair artists would work on the models' looks. This collaboration transformed my photos, making them appear more like fashion shots and more sophisticated.

I asked many questions about the fashion industry, such as how to start working for magazines, shoot campaigns, and acquire models from modeling agencies. I let my curiosity guide me.
