HOW TO BECOME A GG PRO PHOTO MODEL?

  Send us a few pictures or a link to your web page, and we promise you that your portfolio will be viewed by our producer and stylist as well as Gevorg Gevorgyan. You do not have to be tall or skinny. You do not have to be young. Old people are very very welcome. A good and charming smile is much more important. Acting experience is important even though it is “only” pictures. If we like what we see, we will invite you to our studio. Compensation is based on how well you are recognized at stock photography sites which GG Pro Photo constantly markets you on.  By signing a model release form, you'll  allow GG Pro Photo to promote your photos at stock websites. For the first few photo shoots we will compensate your Time with Original Photos. Afterwards if you gain popularity we will compensate for later shoots by $$$.

WHO ARE BUYING OUR STOCK PHOTOS?

  Stock photography is the supply of photographs licensed for specific uses. It is used to fulfill the needs of creative assignments instead of hiring a photographer. Today, stock images can be presented in searchable online databases. They can be purchased and delivered online. Often, they are produced in studios using a wide variety of models posing as professionals, stereotypes, expressing stereotypical emotions and gesticulations or involving pets.

WHAT IS A MODEL RELEASE?

  A model release is a formal agreement between the model and the photographer about usage of the images where the model appears. When a model signs a model release he or she acknowledges that images or movies with him or her in them will be used for commercial purposes around the world.

  The images and movies cannot be used for just anything, and the agencies that sell images, known as stock agencies, have a long set of “user rights and restrictions” that protects the model and the photographer from abusive usage of the material. The restrictions are very tight, so abusive usage almost never happens.
