Not all modeling portfolios are created equally!
All models and actors should remember that one great image can be the start of a new career and one bad image can be the end of their dreams of becoming a top professional model or actress.
Therefore it is important for the new faces , models or actors to chose the right head shot or modeling portfolio photographer for the task.
Just remember this ” Most casting directors and agents judge by your worst image and not your best” eliminating those bad images from your portfolio can only mean lesser rejections and adding better images to your portfolio can only mean more opportunities.
The First Impression! Don’t ruin your chances with some mediocre shots you got from a TFP gig
We all get what we pay for, and trust me one way or another somebody is going to pay for our mistakes, let that be not you
Wasting time with free and mediocre images can eventually cost you much more than a day rate with a professional photographer that can help you land your next magazine cover , an ad campaign or your next modeling agency or agent
This shots are a great example of a modeling portfolio update for a professional model.The top row is what most agencies want to see and it is called the ” POLAROIDS ”
an industry term for completely natural untouched images of a model with not much make up, to demonstrate her facial features, body, posture etc…
and the ones below the Polaroids, were done in a day shoot with a help of a great hair stylist and fashion stylist
If you have any more questions about how to create a better modeling portfolio , headshots or wish to update your current portfolio please do not hesitate to contact our studio at info@shaunalexander.net or call us at 310 213 7700

Perhaps you are all wondering what is the big deal about this new Nikon D800?
well,I can just sum it very shortly without getting in to too much details, this camera is a must have for any serious or semi serious photographers that are looking for quality within an affordable price point. The very first time I used Nikon D800 for a fashion shoot I was blown away with the great sharpness in details and accurate colors coming out of this non pretentious Camera, and when I took this baby on the road for a little outdoor test shoot in Laguna beach, I was even more impressed with it’s performance in natural lighting. Of course using a great glass like the Nikon 70-200mm f/2.8G ED VR II AF-S Nikkor Zoom Lens is also an important factor to maximize the full potential of this little monster
You can see that for yourself in the images below, I shot those bikers from an approximately 40 feet away and when I zoomed in I could still read the very small numbers under No.13 on the license plate, this would have not been possible with any other DSLR cameras of it’s class and as you can see the colors and the details of the images coming out of Nikon D800 can easily compare to some of those expensive brands for fraction of the cost, a perfect camera for all fashion photographers that are looking for convenience of a DSLR camera yet the perfomance of a medium format camera. The only complaint I have is the 4 frames per second which is allot less than what I am used to and also the AF not functioning at times how it should. well I guess for the price one cannot complain too much, but over all Nikon D800 is a great camera for what it is worth. I would highly recommend that to any professional or semi professional photographers that are looking for a ton of mega pixels for around $3000 price point, last time I checked any cameras with around 36 mega pixels ran for at least $30 to $40k

Music plays a great part in the inspiration of Shaun Alexander. Music alone can be a Los Angeles photographer’s muse other than models, celebrities and recording artists. It is important for a photographer to be up-to-date with the latest sounds, especially the music of his subjects. Shaun captures portraits like no other Los Angeles music photographercan. He easily gets the picture out according to how the recording artist wants it to be, and he certainly shows the essence of their music through the covers of magazines and CDs.

In this way, he gets to connect with them and be able to produce results that aren’t distant to what the singer wants and who he or she is as an artist and as his or her self. Such work is carried out by Shaun perfectly. Almost every time, there’s an album to be released, a music video to shoot, or a CD cover to make, motivating him to make sure that his work satisfies the client and makes him proud of another accomplishment. Photoshop helps, but Shaun casts his own spell on each snapshot and there- you have a masterpiece.
Shaun knows which object in the picture to highlight, and he does it beautifully. In his snapshots, neither light nor shadow ever overwhelms the subject and neither does it show inadequately. The covers for Montana Shane are extremely rock ‘n roll, hardcore and yet there’s still a mellow side to it made possible by his expertise in lighting and ability to shoot great angles. Ready to show his creativity, talent and skill as a LA music photographer.
