I met up with local talent Jarrett last Thursday at Passe-a-grille beach for a quick shoot. I love hooking up with local models for quick test shoots as they are a great way to hone my skills and try new things and also a great way to meet local talent. Since I began test shooting models in February I have put together a great contact list of local talent that are happy to work with me. Having connections like this in your area is super valuable and something I hope every aspiring photographer is doing.
