With a Professional Model, Actor or Entertainer Photoshoot.

Having been a professional international print and runway model for over 20 years, a muse to famous designers, a fashion editor, modeling instructor and pageant director.   I can show you how to pose in front of a camera and teach you what photographers and designers expect from you when you show up on set.  You will gain this experience in front of my camera with a real live photo shoot and have a really good start to your modeling portfolio. I will show the difference between a natural pose and a cheesy pose, cheesy poses screams amateur and inexperienced and that means it will take you longer before any agency will take you serious or just get stuck in amateur rut.  Most photographers don't have a clue on how to teach aspiring models how to pose since they were never models themselves or they are male and simply don't know.  They expect you to show up and be ready to bring it.  I will teach you how to bring it but it is up to you to get it.    In the end you will have usable images that are relevant to what agencies are looking for in today's market.  I will help you look like a pro and off to great start in a career in modeling, with a photo session with me, my styling skills, creative direction, my excellent fashion sense and in some cases even makeup.  All of this is to help send you on your way to find legitimate agency representation and turn your dream into a realty.

You Should Be A Model!

My Vision

I heard that phrase many times in my life and I am sure you have too. What people don’t realize is how much it would cost if the wrong person says it to you.

Many people dream of becoming a fashion model. Some save up every nickel and dime of their money to put together a portfolio or move to a big city to follow that dream. The problem is there are so many scam artist out there taking advantage of the inexperienced dreamer.

There are so many pitfalls to watch out for, if you don’t know any better your dreams may never come true. That is why I decided it is time someone does something about it.

I wrote a book called “Six Steps Toward Success in Modeling” and I have created model workshops where the inexperienced can learn the most needed modeling skills and business sense without obligation to fulfill long term high priced courses.

The original concept of modeling schools was to teach poise, posture, etiquette and charm. These schools provided the social skills needed to make better individuals in society. As a result, graduates of charm and finishing school went on to become public figures, achieved higher status and notoriety. Unfortunately, many of today’s schools and model agencies are fakes.

Knowing the high demand for print, runway and commercial models, along with the large interest in this field, I have made it my business to inform, educate and open people’s eyes to fraudulent practices.                                                                  

My goal is to create a non-profit organization nationwide to teach legitimate techniques required of models. I want to give career guidance, consultation and I want to teach anyone who is interested about modeling. 

My experiences in the United States and across the world, from Tokyo to Europe, have taught me everything a model really needs to know and understand before embarking on his or her own, personalized career in the profession.

This is a business of wolves and the traps are many! New, inexperienced and young models need to know what I have to teach them. I’m Jean Marshall. I’m available to you together, we can prepare you for an exciting and profitable career in modeling.   

BEVERLY HILLS, CALIFORNIA 2000 – The Miss Beverly Hills Beauty Pageant, the innovative beauty pageant that relies on online voters to determine its winner, has merged with iLive.com and showcases the talents of a woman that everyone needs to meet!  iLive.com needed a ringer to help them create the first true Internet beauty pageant of the new millennium.  The search for the web’s first hard-wired pageant coordinator was exhaustive, but iLive came up with something unique in JEAN MARSHALL. 

In a business of has-been casting directors posing as experts in the world of fashion models and pageant beauties, iLive wanted the real deal.  Marshall, you see, was actually one of the clan, a model before becoming an administrative leader.  To understand how this close-to-six-foot strapping beauty quickly established herself as the fantasy of many computer jockeys is a no brainer, for she has it all herself…brains, beauty and a will to succeed that is second only to Joan of Arc.

Jean Marshall began her self-fashioned career as a guidance counselor to models by being one first.  A native hailing out of Orange County, Marshall moved to Europe at the ripe old age of 20 where she seized the runways immediately. Now, a decade later, she’s returned to her hometown as an educator to other models, as a guidance counselor for working women, and as a youth leader she asserts herself in the community. Currently, Ms Marshall is a member of The Beverly Hills Chamber of Commerce, Jr. Chamber of Commerce in Los Angeles, Women in Film Association, and Toastmasters.  She volunteers in the outreach program for Project Angel Food benefiting those afflicted with the HIV/AIDS virus and has participated in Revlon’s Run-Walk in the fight against breast cancer.

In a city where stars are at a premium, the Miss Beverly Hills Pageant wanted to create “events for young girls that weren’t discovered yet,” Ms. Marshall asserts.  iLive.com, best known as an entertainment-internet provider of music events and Miss World United States wanted something content-specific: the first site to combine the symbiotic worlds of fashion, model career development and strategic marketing into monthly contests: “There was a need for pageants as girls were venturing into Hollyweird and were being exploited by some agencies that were, well, let’s just say less than respectable.” 

In walks Marshall, insisting that the first beauty pageant of Beverly Hills since 1989 would only be successful if everything up was kept in the open, up front and above sea level…something live for all to see and become a part of.  iLive.com knew they had found their spokeswoman and quickly the ideology of the company fell in line with the morality of her insistence: “I told iLive that if this pageant were to be noticed as something beneficial to the maturation process of young girls, we’d all have to be there to protect the vision first and the product (i.e. the pageant) would become something special…”  iLive responded accordingly and the Internet leader of live entertainment happenings quickly asserted itself as the leader in real-time pageanting.

The search for winners begins in the backyards of Beverly Hills but has recently been expanded to encompass submissions from around the globe.  Results of the pageant capitalize on the audience participation via iLive.com.  The contestants are judged in three areas of competition: Sportswear, Swimsuit, and Evening Gown.  However, the Miss Beverly Hills Pageant goes beyond beauty.  The judges also focus on selecting the participant who best represents the history and heritage of the Beverly Hills community. Individuals and companies participate by sponsoring and judging the events.

Marshall says her tolerance for bratty 90210-ers is finite at best: “We get a lot of rich girls that have never had to work a day in their lives and they think they can just walk in to The Beverly Hills Beauty Pageant and buy a ribbon and become a pageant queen!  Uh-uh.  We insist on the girls working with us at iLive from planning their presentation photos, costumes and commitment…this isn’t a scam, this isn’t a girl scouts contest around a fire where everyone is patted on the back for just participating!  Our contest is serious with serious ramifications and our winners receive real support, prizes and introductions to real agencies and product endorsements sometimes follow.”  Where did all this high mindedness about pageanting come from, you ask?  Understanding Jean Marshall as a person and businesswoman provides some answers…

In the oh so glittery city of fake noses, lipo-bodies and the scam artist who make young girls feel they need those things to succeed in the competitive business of modeling,  Marshall warns, “Be careful what you wish for you just might get it!”

Ms. Marshall, you see, has also positioned herself to be the first true guidance counselor for young models in the making. Marshall takes life lessons and mixes in a dash of traditional finishing school techniques, psychology, nutrition and image consultation and came up with a workshop that is pretty revolutionary-- young girls will know what is expected of them as models, what is inappropriate and illicit, and they’ll be able to handle their careers better. She guarantees it!

She trains individuals in the basic skills of modeling, warns them of fraudulent scams and bestows the tools they’ll need to maintain integrity and self-esteem in the critical and often destructive world of high fashion.  Jean Marshall prepares girls for modeling and, in the end, they are better prepared for life itself.

“SHE’S GOT STYLE, DO YOU?” 

LOS ANGELES, CA - In the oh so glittery city of fake noses, lipo-bodies and the scam artist who make young girls feel they need those things to succeed in the competitive business of modeling, there’s a woman who warns, “Be careful what you wish for you just might get it!”  Jean Marshall, age 34 but svelte, tall and sexy as any young doe on the runway has quit the biz and has taken up sides with the models themselves!

Ms. Marshall, you see, is positioning herself to be the first true guidance consular for young models in the making.  She trains individuals in the basic skills of modeling, warns them of fraudulent scams and bestows the tools they’ll need to maintain integrity and self-esteem in the critical and often destructive world of high fashion.  Jean Marshall will prepare you for modeling and, in the end, you just may be better prepared for life itself. For times and dates of her classes, workshops and

seminars please contact.

Marshall started as a young innocent herself, a transport from Orange County CA to the dog-eat-dog runways of Europe.  There, she got more than her fair share of knowledge about the business and the pitfalls that go with it.  Her goal? To help young girls be better prepared for the job and lifestyle of modeling. Marshall has taken these life lessons mixed them in with traditional finishing school techniques, added a dash of psychology, nutrition and image consultation and came up with a workshop that may prove to be revolutionary-- young girls will know what is expected of them as models, what is inappropriate and illicit, and they’ll be able to handle their careers better. She guarantees it!

Jean Marshall, author of the upcoming “Six Steps Toward Success in Modeling” affectionately calls herself “The Image Source.”

Whether you’re an aspiring model, a concerned mother of a model wannabe, or a business person in need of image consultation and a make-over, there is help out there for the rest of us...finally!    

I am the classic former model turned photographer.  I lived in Milan, Italy for 11 years of my 17 year, international modeling career in print, runway and commercials.  I discovered by fluke that I had a natural talent for photographing people, when I was asked to do some photos of a friend.  I soon discovered that I really love capturing the essence of a person. It's sort of like taking the lens and entering in through their eyes and seeing a person's soul.  I prefer my subjects to be as natural as possible.  I do most of my photographing outdoors in a natural environment or setting.   Which has led me to do commercial headshots, business/realtor headshots, fashion, glamour, swimwear, lifestyle, fitness, editorial, children/family photos and pets.  I also offer my services to store and business owners who need product or service photos for your websites, social media, business cards and other marketing materials.

If you are interested in using any of my work for stock photography or need stock photography please do not hesitate to contact me.

Thank you very much for your interest and support.

Sincerely,

Jean Marshall
