ASK AARON - December 2002 Answer

From Janice, IA

How do I find photographers and agents in the Des Moines area?

Dear Janice:

I don’t know of any agents in Des Moines. However, you can contact some of the local advertising agencies and ask the art or creative director the names of the agents they book their models through and which photographers they use. That is a great way to find agents and photographers.

To get free photos, why don’t you try talking with someone in the art department at a local college or university. See if there are any photography classes. If so, maybe you could work out a deal with a student, where you won’t charge him/her a modeling fee and he/she won’t charge you for some photos.

In the January 2003 issue of the Tear Sheet newsletter, there is an entire article on how someone used my suggestions and got some great photos taken free.
