11/27/2017 0 Comments Publication and ReleasesIt's time for my academy dolls and the models I manage to learn about the biz side of pinup, specifically publication. Eventually you all will have to learn the entire process. There's going to be many times where you'll have to sign release forms and or have your photographer sign them. You must have the software and knowledge on how to use it. You must be good at communication and organization. Communicating with mag owners and your photographer. Organizing images, labeling them and submitting correctly. Following up. And knowing how to fill out a release properly, then submitting it correctly. It's really all too simple yet it's a process that has to be done often. You have to have good communication with the photographer that took the images you'll be submitting. What if they stop photography? What if they go on vacation? What if they are difficult to get ahold of and terrible at deadlines?

What if they are difficult to get ahold of and terrible at deadlines? Raquel Welch All the top pinup magazines require releases. Just like all top professional photographers, no matter what the style, always have release forms. All pro photographers require a deposit to book and everything's in writing! I just recently had to sign a few releases and 3 of my photographers had to sign other releases. Every mag has a different release. I also had to use different software twice. Then wait on signed releases and submit them. It's a total process. Twiggy A process that at some point needs to be learned and will be done as often as you're published in top pinup magazines. The communication part and deadlines are 2 things I feel will be most difficult for many people. Sure they can submit, fill out a release, but can they communicate well? Do they make themselves available to communicate when it's essential? Are they efficient at planning ahead and being organized? I see that as a major negative issue in anyone in any biz. Model, stylist, designer, mag owner, biz owner, photographer, etc. Producing positive results requires excellent communication skills! Requires excellent organization skills. Level of commitment has everything to do with success and publication. Jayne Mansfield If you're not good at being on time and meeting deadlines, not good at communication, not good at planning ahead and staying organized, publication isn't for you! You'll get weeded out eventually. Sophia Loren Competing in pinup and pinup publication goes way beyond beauty. It's even goes way beyond talent and skill. It's everything from investing to sacrificing and things like level of commitment. I mean there's only like a million beautiful pinups. Different levels of success because of everything outside of just beauty. Jane Russell I'm not going to be in Vegas forever, thankfully at that. I'm not going to manage the same exact models forever either. So I encourage all levels of pinups to learn as much about the biz side of pinup as possible and apply it.
