Supper Model Portfolios Special

To get started, every model needs to have a portfolio, website and comp cards to get started in the industry. Portfolios are usually large black books with 8x10 or larger images (from a variety of looks or photo shoots) included in the book.

 This will show the casting director that youre able to pull off many looks and can achieve what he or she is looking to accomplish through their upcoming print ads or commercials. Photos in your portfolio should usually not be more than a year old, as your look can change through the course of time. Its recommended that you update your portfolio images at least once every six months to keep your portfolio looking fresh.

A modeling website is important because you need to let the world know that you exist and that youre looking for work. Your modeling website should include your portfolio, stats and contact information. Never give out too much information though, only your first name and e-mail address is required on most modeling websites.

Jay Kay Photography & Media, provides all of these services. We are a one stop shop for newcomers and professional models alike.

Jay Kay Photography is running  a model portfolio special starting a $900 for a complete model portfolio and website package.

Self Portrait

  

Did a few self portraits today. I really needed to update my Pictures. Tell me what you think.

Yard Work Woes

Okay, 

         My family already had a good laugh today, So, I might as well share this 

with the rest of the world to share in the jokes and laughter of my yard work woes. Being the city boy that I am. Moving into the country offered many daily challenges. After living in rural Louisiana (Somewhere outside of New Orleans) for 5 years now, you would think I would know better than to get a pickup truck stuck in some mud. Nope, Big JJ here had to push the limits.

It all started when my neighbor came over with his tractor [today] to help me clear some brush on my land. It began t rain and his tractor became stuck in the mud. Well needles to say that Ole' Jay here had the solution to his farm equipment blunders. I was going to roll to the rescue in my 06 ( 4x4, V8) Ford F150 for which I deemed "Unstoppable", often times I would brag about my truck by sounding like a commercial "My truck is Ford Tuff" so I decided instead of getting to him by dry land, I would take the muddy route, because after all its "Ford tuff" and nothing can stop this bad boy from getting through (Not even Mud). 

The First time through I was successful, but the second time through, Needless to say, Like the Titanic I sank. What a fiasco! I was able to get him out using my Lincoln Navigator;however, the Navigator became stuck afterwards. So, my neighbor used his tractor (That I just pulled out) to get the Lincoln Navigator out.

So as you can see, my prize winning truck lays patiently in the mud awaiting rescue. My other neighbor going to come over with his front end loader to pull be out. Thank God he is a contractor. This is what it's like to live in South East marshy Louisiana. In the mean time, I will not quit my day job as a Photographer :-)
