Comp Card for a male model

[TMWheelock]

Hi all.

Here's the scoop.

I was recently contacted by a friend of a friend who is looking to have a comp card done. I have never done this kind of work (I've only shot portraits of my friends successfully in studio and on location).

I want to do it but I am not sure how to begin. What kind of questions should I be asking? Should I source someone to do makeup and hair? How much should I charge? Is there a typical process that goes along with this kind of thing?

Does anyone know of any resources for modeling photography so I could brush up?

Also is it worth buying and creating a backdrop out of seamless paper for this assignment?

Thanks!

It's really no different than taking portraits except you will want to vary up poses and clothes a bit more. You can ask him if he has a make-up artist (MUA) he wants to use, but that should be at his cost.

Model shoots should be fun...at least I think so. Check out Model Mayhem and see what others are doing and go from there.

Good luck!
