Models Boot Camp began one day in Hollywood when I was attending a rehearsal for a fashion show. I was to be the videographer and was involved with a company that solicited clothes designers and put them together at a fashion location with models and a runway and music and alcohol.
But what I witnessed first hand was a vast massive exploitation campaign to recruit unsuspecting young female and male models and outright take advantage of them, for the promoters own selfish reasons dictating the terms and conditions with absolutely no compensation whatsoever. Models had to get to the rehearsal locations on their own dime, including parking and meals. Then they were expected to work under uncomfortable and difficult circumstances, in the summer heat with misunderstanding abounding.
Needless to say I didn’t continue with this group and sadly said my good-byes to the models with which I had bonded as we were working under the same egregious dictator who didn’t have a clue what the fashion industry was about. So I set about to start a school that would train models in every aspect, from fitting into clothes, to personal hygiene, beauty tips and secrets, runway styles, walking, business acumen, health. Well you get the idea, the basics and beyond, in order to be able to know what to expect and deal with most of these daily challenges a young inexperienced model will encounter.
So I have shot models fashion shows in many different capacities at various locations. So watch the videos and see for yourself the diversity in clothes and styles of runway beginning with Lizanne Falsetto with her involvement at the ThinkProducts Vitality Fashion Show at the Anaheim Convention Center this past year.

So welcome to Models Boot Camp. There are articles, blogs, video, tips,photos, etc to help a young model trying to break into the industry. So join us and be a part of the growing positive experience a model can be exposed to and see how it works when it’s done right the first time.
I am a photographer and tv show producer and I want to set the record straight. And with the tools at my disposal, I will accomplish just that.
Thank
you
