San Diego Model Management provides modeling services and informs their clients (models) for upcoming photo shoots that a model might fit the role of. At my internship San Diego Model Management, the days varied from non-stop work, to more relaxed days. There was a great variety of new things that I have learned from this experience that I think I could defiantly take with me in the future. It really gave me the feeling of an average workday, as busy and stressful as it may have been.
Being involved in a modeling agency had really changed some of my point of views on fashion and professionalism. I would defiantly have to say that there is a lot of pressure being put on some of the models that come in for open call or anyone who wants to be supported by SDMM. The expressions I see on these models that come into the office have such high hopes, and being represented by SDMM would be
My part towards SDMM involved lots of diverse work and difficult tasks. Filming and interviewing the employees was an assignment of mine for quite some time. After filming, I then had to edit them and upload them to YouTube for anyone who may be interested. Another big part of my job was putting in hundreds of models information and resumes into SDMM LA casting account. This was more of a time-consuming task, but was however simple.
After completing the L.A casting information, putting the models photo’s back on the wall is an important requirement. This experience I feel has also drastically improved my social skills, as well as being outgoing and friendly with new people. On a daily basis models come into the office, and me being the first person to see when walking in the front door, I’m asked a multiple of different questions; and it’s my responsibility to make sure they leave with the right information. Not only did I have to interact with the models walking into the office, but as well as calling some of the models.
Everyday there is something new for me to do, from shredding papers all day to filing security work. My mentor as well as the other employee’s really depends on me at times with the work they give me, and it’s my responsibility to show them how well I can work as their intern. One thing I have been semi concerned about throughout my internship is my project. I’m afraid that there is no main project that I feel I could explain or even present at exhibition night.
Even though this may seem like an easy job for some, there were moments when days were so busy and compiled with work, it was challenging to keep on task and stay focused. To relieve us from the stressful work, the other intern and I along with our mentor, have been recently brainstorming of an idea to come up with a way to sell clothing for an affordable price in an entertaining, interactive way. I hope for this idea to follow through and give us a chance to really be involved in the fashion/modeling world.
