Let's talk about New Talent Submissions...


When submitting to Michele & Group, Inc. for new talent consideration, we ask the potential model to send in the most recent (1-2 days) of unedited digital images in a bathing suit.

Why do we ask new talent submissions to do this?
Since we sign models nationwide, we are unable to meet everyone. It is apparent that your photos represent your true form. We take great pride in our reputation to have the best talent in the business and we will not risk our talent showing up to a booking where they do not resemble the photos we submitted to the client.
Photoshop can be great for small touch-ups. As you can see in the picture below, Photoshop has given this model a different body type.

What is the correct way to take digital images to submit to Michele & Group, Inc.?
We suggest that you wear light makeup and have your hair in a natural style. Grab a bikini that makes you feel FABULOUS and a neutral pair of heals (if you don't want to be barefoot). Stand against a plain wall and have a family member take photos of you: full front, full back, full side and a close-up of your face. 

I don't have someone to take the photos for me?
If you don't have someone to take the photos for you, you can submit photos that you take of yourself in the mirror. Please note that you will need to have someone take photos of you for your file. 

I don't have time to do the photos, can I still be considered for representation?
The answer simply is no. If you can not take the time to send in the required photos, we will assume that you are not serious about working. 

Who will see the photos?
Only the agency and clients who request to see digital images will see the photos. Your photos will NOT be posted to our website or shared with anyone. 

I don't feel like I am in shape right now...
Do not worry! We are not here to judge your body. We only need to see what you currently look like for submissions to our clients. We understand that your weight will fluctuate or you may be having a "fat day". Just remember what you may think doesn't look good, others may find super attractive!!

I am already signed with Michele & Group, how often should I send in digitals?
Once a month would be GREAT but we can settle for every three months. Remember that the more you stay in contact with us and update your information that more you stay at the front of our minds for bookings. Updating your information with us, keeps us from doing unnecessary work. 

SO GET YOUR DIGITALS IN AND LET'S GET TO WORK!

Five Questions: The Model Answer

Hey Guys! To kick off this week's 'Model Answer,' we feature Michele & Group's stunning beauty, Gabriella! Currently living in Orlando, FL, this brunette with the killer eyes has a natural ease in front of the camera that reminds photographers how awesome their job really is!

So what are our 'must knows' about Gabriella? Keep reading below and you will soon find out.

Five Questions: The Model Answer w/ Gabriella:


Facebook or Twitter?
Obviously Facebook! It speaks for itself.

Three shows that are currently on your DVR? Gossip Girl, Deal or No Deal and Keeping up with the Kardashians. Can you believe Kim and Kris broke up so soon???

Favorite song to belt out at the bar/in the car/for karaoke? Well, I have an answer for each. At the bar: 'We found love' by Rihanna, in the car: 'Pumped up Kicks' by Foster the People and for karaoke: 'Don't Stop Believing' by the one and only Journey! 

Website that you visit daily? (not Facebook!) Yahoo! I love getting all the random facts that you get once you are logged in.

L.A., Miami, New York? My favorite place to shoot would have to be LA! It is my hometown and the weather is unbeatable!

Well seems like L.A. is in the lead for our models favorite location spots. Thanks Gabriella for the insight and yes, Kim Kardashian's breakup was a bit soon, even for Hollywood!

Five Questions: The Model Answer


All of us here at Michele & Group want you to get to know our models. Starting this week we are going to feature one of our fabulous models and ask them the same five “must know” questions. So, who better to start it off than the gorgeous and talented Aspen.


This Floridian blonde bombshell has been with the Michele & Group family since 2004.  She recently moved to LA and is taking it by storm.  Her energy, beauty and charisma are the perfect combination that makes the camera fall in love with her with every single shot.  So what is Aspen’s model answer? Check it out and see.



Five Questions: The Model Answer with Aspen

Twitter or Facebook?  This is tough, but I need to go with Twitter. Don’t get me wrong Facebook friends but being on the go with modeling jobs and a new mommy doesn’t give me much time. Twitter makes it easier to quickly update tweets and photos for my followers.



Three Shows that are currently on your DVR? Desperate Housewives, the new show called Up All Night with Christina Applegate and of course what model doesn’t watch America’s Next Top Model.



Favorite song to belt out at the bar/in the car/ for karaoke? POUR SOME SUGAR ON ME!! The era with tie-dye, jean jackets and leather fringe was when I was destined to be born.



Website that you visit daily? (not Facebook!) I have to admit it is aspenbrandylea.com. I am actually building my own website and I am super excited!  Not only does it show my finished work, but I also wanted to capture the behind the scenes that is being put into it.



L.A., Miami, New York? This is a tough question. I am going to have to go with L.A. because I love the surroundings for photo shoots. But I am a East Coast girl, so does that mean I am cheating on Miami?



You are not cheating Aspen, we know where you heart is!

Experience as an Intern at Michele & Group!

Ever since the sixth grade I have wanted to work in the field of Advertising and/or with a magazine. I am only 18 but was lucky enough to get this chance to be an intern at Michele & Group and be able to learn from the best! I have got to see how everything works behind the scenes and gain experience in working with clients and models. I was even able to go to a calendar and website shoot and help make some of the props! I was able to incorporate my love for art into the advertising and modeling world!  This job has prepared me for my future career in more ways than one! I was able to further improve my organizational, office, and networking skills. Shea was the best mentor I could have asked for! Sadly my internship is ending tomorrow because I have to leave and go back to school. However, this internship was able to teach me so much and give me such great experience that I was able to get an internship with a magazine in Florence, Italy for this upcoming semester! Thank you again Shea and everyone at Michele & Group for this great experience!

SUPERMODEL INSPIRATION

So working in the office today Valerie & I thought we needed a little inspiration. I think back to what makes me love what I do...and how it all started. I grew up in the time of SUPERMODELS...Cindy Crawford, Linda Evangelista, Naomi Campbell, Christy Turlington. I piled in my mom's bed every Saturday morning to watch these women featured on Style with Elsa Klensch on CNN. When George Michael decided to feature these Supermodels in his videos for FREEDOM and TOO FUNKY he struck gold. These videos somehow made the models accessible in a way they had never been before. These songs became my anthems played over and over again as I strutted around the house. Who would have thought that one day I would decide to represent models at the best boutique agency in the world Michele & Group, Inc. One of these days we will have our very own SUPERMODEL...could it be you? http://www.micheleandgroup.com/

TOO FUNKY


The models featured in this video include Naomi Campbell, Linda Evangelista, Christy Turlington, Tatjana Patitz, Cindy Crawford, and male models John Pearson, Mario Sorrenti, and Peter Formby.

Happy Friday Loves!

MORE INSPIRATION

Thought you would all want to see the FREEDOM video too...enjoy!



The models featured in this video are Linda Evangelista, Nadja Auermann, Emma Sjöberg, Estelle Hallyday, Shana Zadrick and Tyra Banks. Actresses Julie Newmar and Rossy de Palma also make an appearance. The costumes worn by the models were designed by Thierry Mugler.
