ASK AARON - August 2002 Answer

Last Month's Column:

My child just worked in a Verizon TV commercial. However, my childs manager said that he does not have the contacts to get my son auditioned for soap and film projects. Do you have any suggestions for me?

Next Month's Column:

I was cast as a non-union member of a union commercial. I was cast as a principle, but the director did a Taft Hartley and used real architects, in this case. Will I have to join SAG even though I netted $520?

From Lucinda, SC

Should I put my original photos in my mini book?

Dear Lucinda:

I would not place original photos in your mini book. Mini books get sent to advertisers and photographers so that they can see more of the models work experience. These books are also brought by the model to all go-sees and jobs. When they leave your house there is always a chance that they could get lost. If you lose your original photos, then you have some pretty major problems. Place your original photos in a portfolio that is kept in a safe place.

I always have color lasers copies made for my mini books. You can go to places like Kinkos to get a high color laser copy. Some reproduction companies will ask that you have a signed release from the photographer giving you permission to make a copy of the photo. You might want to get this release from the photographer before getting the laser copies made.
