Summer

Summer is a strange time in the modeling world. Depending on your market the models either flow in or they flow out. In prague, they flow out. The Czechs are a landlocked people. They live here, in the center of europe, with no view of the ocean. As soon as the warm weather comes, they as a habit, leave- in search of sea breezes and sandy beaches.

I don't blame them.

The models are also gone. The good girls make their way to the bigger markets in Barcelona, New York and Milan. There's lots of work to be had here in the summer months. Plenty of bikini shots, and lying in the surf.

I really don't blame them.

So in the summer a strange calm comes to the czechs while the din of mass tourism beomces a roar. The summer is a time of the new models. Young, fresh, faces who are still in highschool- too young to travel but enchanted by lure of fashion. Summer is the season for testing. Lots of faces, lots outdoors. Lots of warm nights and bikinis in the grass. It's both good, and bad. Good because it represents a chance for you to pull your stuff together and shoot, shoot, shoot. Bad because the signal to noise ratio is low and only one in a hundred really 'has it'.
