money if that
counts)
-

TAKEN?
Currently
this is home based project, Most indoor pictures are taken at
an
Apt approx 2 miles from the University of Central Florida
in
Orlando

NO giant studio filled with 10 people
staring at you.

suburbs.

SOMEONE
WHO ENJOYS TAKING
PICTURES,
SOMEONE WITH I NICE BODY and EXOTIC Beutiful
Face.
(GOOD GIRL LOOK or BAD GIRL LOOK,
THE
PINUP LOOK, The Music Video Model/Dancer Look
SOMEONE THAT
STANDS OUT
SOMEONE THAT TURNS HEADS
MAINLY
WOMEN THAT WILL CATCH THE ATTENTION OF BOTH MALE &FEMALE
IN A
TASTEFUL WAY.
The Look is known as EXOTIC.
(or the MUSIC
VIDEO
DANCER
look)
It is dominated by Latinas and girls of mixed heritage
however
it is
not
a
requirement
because ALL races and nationalities have
EXOTIC beauties.
- We are currently
also develloping a Look, although
this is NOT required it is
a BIG PLUS.
- FLAME HAIR.
Note: having
Flame hair does not guarantee a spot at FIREBALL
MODELS so dont
run and get your hair done. Flame haire can be
lt brown, blonde
and red. used in different compinations.
- ***VERY IMPORTANT
SOMEONE THAT IS ABLE
TO MANAGE THEIR TIME WELL and
SHOWS UP
and is also able to COMMUNICATE as far as scheduling a photo shoot and letting
us
know when they are available. "WE HATE TO CHASE"
and "WE DON'T LIKE EGOS" and we have many deadlines.
Models Must try their BEST to be AVAILABLE. And should be able
to
participate in all FIREBALL MODEL events as well as work for
potetial clients.
- PROMOTIONS and
CLIENT TARGETING ARE VERY IMPORTANT,
getting clients is NOT AUTOMATIC.
failure to promote yourself
will result in offers FEW and FAR
BETWEEN. FIREBALL MODELS only
accepts the same excuses that apply
to WORK and SCHOOL.
-
- HOW TALL DO YOU
HAVE TO BE?
4'10
to 5'6 PETITE - (prefered)
- WE DO NOT FOLLOW
THAT STUPID FASHION MODEL STANDARD.
We are doing almost the
oppositte.
- (we accept up
to 5'8)
-
- CAN I BRING A FRIEND?
For the
first shoot, whatever helps you become more comfortable, but
don't bring an entourage , it's very distracting to the photographer
and the home studio is very small. (preferably another model
or
girlfriend) Most models become comfortable with the photographer
by the second photo shoot and are able to come by themselves
or
with another model. If you are coming with "A RIDE"
let
them know in advance that they might not be allowed to be
in the
room where the actual pictures are taken place and they
will be
waiting about 30 min to 1 hour (time depends on amount
of
pictures being taken, number of models, and how long a model
takes to change).
- At events, Passes,
VIP will be for Models only. For
Events and promotions, It is
recommended that you do not have
"attached" personel.
in other words, people that will
have an efffect on your time
at these events.
-
- DO YOU HAVE TO BE
SPANISH
OR CHINESE?
NO, SELECTION
IS NOT BASED ON RACE OR
ETHNICITY. What you see is a reflection
of the FREESTYLE (DANCE
MUSIC) following who were naturally attracted
to the whole thing.
This following is mostly HISPANIC and FILIPINO
with a higher
ratio of Puerto Ricans. AGAIN THE LOOK IS EXOTIC
ALL RACES HAVE
EXOTIC GIRLS.
-
- DO I HAVE TO DO SWIMSUITS?
You do
not have to take
any type of picture you don't want to, we do
not try o put
pressure on people, we want all models to enjoy
themselves. Part
of your Application is a LIMITATION GRID that
tell us what you do
and don't do.
- NOTE: Several models have
felt uncomfortable about
swimsuit pictures changed their minds
after feeling comfortable
with photographer.
SWIMSUIT PICTURES ARE MAINLY TAKEN FOR
OUR SUMMER SWIMWEAR ISSUE,
and maybe for the SPRING TIME issue
and POSTERS. Those who feel
comfortable will also use them as
their "BODY SHOT"
in their portfolio. Also several are
selective about swimsuits.
FOR EXAMPLE: They will wear a
"ONE PIECE" but not a
"BIKINI", some will
wear a bikini but not a "THONG".

-
- IS THIS SOME KIND OF A SCAM?
IF THIS
WAS A SCAM WE
WOULD BE ASKING YOU FOR MONEY.
DON'T BE AFRAID TO ASK ANY
QUESTIONS IF YOU HAVE DOUBTS.
You will Encounter several
"Too good to be True" occasions
that will be true.
We hate the fact that some photographers/agents/schools only
do
this for money or to "hook up" it gives us all a
bad
name.
-
- SO WHAT'S THE CATCH?
If there
was a catch it
would probably be that the magazine is not in
stores all over the
country yet like most people expect it to
automatically
be.
- But
we are telling
you that in advance. This is our goal. No tricks,
no false promises.
-
- HOW MUCH MONEY WILL I MAKE?
We prefer
to work with those who don't concentrate on money, It takes away
the fun and replaces it with possible frustration.
This is
more of an experience with opportunities to make money
than a
"JOB". Dedecation, Promotion will get you offers,
Lack
of Dedication and Promotion (slackers) will result in Offers
few
and far between.
EXAMPLES:
- ADS FOR RECORD
COMPANIES
OR STORES-
1) WE HAVE TO GET THEM TO ADVERTIZE
2) YOU HAVE TO BE PICKED TO BE IN THE AD.
-
- FASHION
SOMETIMES STORES LET US BORROW CLOTHES TO BE IN THE MAGAZINE'S
FASHION SEGMENT AND NO MONEY IS INVOLVED THIS IS USUALLY A BACKUP
FOR THE MAGAZINE.
Other times a donation is made to the
magazine and is divided.
Most go to the printing of the magazine,
then the Models, then
the photographer and promotions. OUR MAIN
GOAL IS TO GET THE
MODEL PAID FOR BEING IN THE LAYOUT.
-
- CDS
WE LET THE RECORD COMPANIES KNOW THAT OUR
MODELS ARE AVAILABLE
FOR CD COVERS OF CDS WITH VARIOUS ARTISTS
(COMPILATIONS).
-
- 8x10/POSTERS/CALENDARS
YOU WILL HAVE TO OPPORTUNITY TO SELL
YOUR OWN 8x10 via the WWW
(PIN-UP PICTURES ARE TAKEN AT A
LOCATION OF YOUR CHOOSING)
(MODEL/PHOTOGRAPHER SHARE
PROFITS).
(Single picture Poster sized Calendar" are
curently on hold)
-
- SPECIAL APPEARANCES
We are a bit cautious about these for
safety reasons. Also it
is hard to match everyone's schedules. We
do this i only if it
benefits us
- (WITH LIMITATIONS).
(NO
BARS OR FRAT PARTIES)
- (MORE CLASS
LIKE CONCERTS, SPECIAL EVENTS,
PROMOTIONS, PARADES, CONVENTIONS,
FESTIVALS).
So to
answer the question, You may make a lot fast, You may not
get
anything for a while. YOU WILL NOT FEEL THAT IF YOU ARE HAVING
FUN. It helps to know that "IF YOU ARE NOT MAKING MONEY,
WE
ARE NOT MAKING MONEY"
Their are plenty of Benefits from
being a FIREBALL MODEL and
you will notice them right away.
- WHAT TYPE OF PICTURES
DO
YOU TAKE?
Almost
every kind.
FOR THE
MAGAZINE:
- WE TAKE PROMOTIONAL,
SPORTY, CASUAL AND Mostly DANCE FASHION PICTURES (SWIMSUITS FOR
SUMMER and POSTERS).
- FOR YOUR
PROMOTION (or
Portfolio)
See Photo samples. Please note the
"PERSONAL TOUCH"
Pictures which are pictures of a
models choosing. These pictures
can be:
ARTISTIC
(COLOR/SHADE) (ODD/UNUSUAL/POETIC (TELLS A STORY)
SEXY
(LINGERIE, LEATHER, ETC...)
CREATIVE (UNIQUE POSES)
NUDES (NAKED-ARTISTIC OR SEXY),
THIS IS A GOOD PLACE TO
EXPERIMENT.
SOME PICTURES MAY NOT BE APPROPRIATE FOR THE
MAGAZINE BUT PERFECTLY
FINE FOR A PORTFOLIO.
- (Those who which
to experiment may do so. The more "Daring" experiments
may be kept or destroyed by models if they choose or sent to
Playboy we have the address)
- THE MAIN GOAL
OF THE PICTURES IS TO HAVE A
PICTURESQUE MAGAZINE THAT IS APPEALING
TO BOTH SEXES. SO FAR WE
HAVE BEEN SUCCESSFUL.
