All content, which includes modeling job leads, is traceable, and we verify web traffic and the source of our information. Independent Modeling is a resource site for independent and agency-represented models who wish to enhance the marketability of their modeling careers, as well as have an advantage over limited models; those limited models being agency-only models who do not think for themselves, do not invest in their career, and allow modeling agencies to manage them, and to tell them what to do. Other limited models include models who try to put together competent professional modeling portfolios for free, using TFP, and who try to compete against professional models with cheap career tools. The independent models who use Independent Modeling are smart, professional models who know enough that to have an advantage over other models, that they have to invest in their careers. Independent Modeling is NOT a modeling and talent agency, and we do not claim to be. We do not directly refer models into modeling jobs for financial compensation, and do not represent models. Independent Modeling is not intended to be used for any advice, which includes legal advice, and any advice which can only be legally given by a licensed professional in a regulated profession.

Independent Modeling Logo

Update 121606: Temporary IM Logo Assigned. This logo is not final. Although we will maintain the rights to this property, a new IM Logo is in development. New forms, contracts, and vouchers will be text-branded and will not have this logo.

Design: C. A. Passinault from EOS MediaArts, an advertising agency in Tampa Bay, Florida. Logo derived from Aurora PhotoArts photograph.

Model: Kinsley Goldburg in a 2004 model portfolio shoot at a beach shoot in Tampa Bay, Florida.

 

TALON Logo

Design: C. A. Passinault from EOS MediaArts, an advertising agency in Tampa Bay, Florida. Logo derived from a public domain photograph of a Peregrine Falcon. The flying falcon is symbolic of a bird of prey swooping down with outstretched talons, which represents the aggressive nature of our TALON program and the fact that it also keeps an eye on entertainment industry talent and production professionals. TALON is an artificial intelligence program and database indexing resource created and maintained by Independent Performer. TALON collects and cross references information from public Internet sources and databases such as message boards, blogs, talent listings, portfolio networking sites, E-Mails that are forwarded to us, web sites, press releases, newsgroups, and more. Opinions collected weigh into reference scores. TALON Logo is credited here because TALON Logo leads to TALON FAQ section.

The agency way is no longer the only way of having a professional career as a model. There is no arguing against common-sense and proven business practices. Modern professional models think for themselves, network, and book work both as independent models and by using agencies as one of many sources of jobs. This is the future of the modeling industry.

This is an Athena Class modeling resource web site by Aurora PhotoArts, a Passinault.Com company. Athena Class 0001, commissioned 011213.1000 hrs.

Site layout, design, and web updates by webmaster C. A. Passinault and our team of professional independent models and industry contributors. This web site resource is dedicated to bringing balance and integrity to the modeling industry, and our mission is to help professional models, photographers, and the businesses who book them.
