What a week!!! Or has it been five?! It has been insane whether it was one, five or ten million weeks! Where do I even begin?! Well... In case you did not know I am both a freelance model and stylist. I use to be signed with an agency here in Toronto but they didn't provide me with the jobs I was looking for. They would constantly send me to castings for hair shows which is not great when all they want to do is turn your lovely, long, blonde hair into a pixy short, black hair cut for peanuts. Especially when your whole portfolio is you with blonde hair. So after my contract was over I decided to persue jobs on my own without any agency's help (not to mention keep the 20% they usually take off from your paycheck). Slowly I came into styling aswell since the majority of my own shoots I would style for myself. Again I chose the freelance path so I had more freedom in what jobs I took, keep all the money and style how I wanted to style. Luckily from my modeling connections and previous jobs I have been able to make this happen.
It's been hard freelancing as a model but I feel like things are finally picking up. The other day I got to work with a fantastic photographer who is very well known in Canada. I was lucky not only as a freelance model, even some agency models will never get the chance to shoot with him. I cannot unfortunately disclose his name since he is currently seeking out hair magazines to have the photos published. I will share though a few of the photos.
