Thanks Neye!

Here is my favorite photo of yours :)

I took a look at all of your photos and with some I felt you were trying to be more fashion than commercial with your poses. Below are some examples of commercial photos...

Were yours professionally done? Either way you can simply take some addtional photos with your digital camera that show your commercial side.

For the photos you send to the agencies, you only need simple digital shots without any posing. When you get interest from a commercial agency- they will assist you in choosing the right commercial photos for your book.

As for the best way to start- Chicago has so many great commercial print agencies! You need to send your photos to them via mail and e-mail. Soon there will be a directory of agencies and casting directors on this site :)
