:A David LaChapelle, Steven Meisel, a Patrick or even a Viktor can launch a model's career.

: But the key is influence over the media.

: It doesn't sound like this photographer has that kind of influence. In all probability the things he does will result in some nice publications that can be put into a scrapbook, maybe even into a model's portfolio, but it's not likely it will result in any more than that.

I think we agree very well. You listed 3 or 4 of the elite photographers in the world. It would never hurt to have one of them 'like you'. But then there is the rest - me included. Might be able to give you some valuable camera time. Maybe even a few nice pictures. A tearsheet in a respectable publication would be even better. Career? Doubt it?

And I can't imaging David, Steven, Patrick, or Viktor ever responding to an internet ad for modeling when they can just call up an agency and test with world class talent.
