Photograph by Tampa photographer C. A. Passinault.Image four of our online portfolio of another Tampa model. This photograph, if we are not mistaken, was taken on location in the Tampa Bay area. The best modeling portfolio photographs are location shots.This is another great picture. This is the fifth model photograph on Tampa Bay Modeling. Pictures featured in our thumbnail array may not be the same as those of models which are in our featured model section, but often, they are one and the same.Unmatched in any Florida modeling market. The quality of this image is excellent! Photograph by C. A. Passinault, our resident photographer and modeling expert.Another top Tampa model gets their look on. The best models can obtain a wide range of looks, as you can see when you look at other pictures of this model!Is it any wonder why more and more companies and art directors are booking independent models without going through an agency? Proof that you can be a professional model, with a lucrative career, without being dependent upon an agency to find and book modeling jobs!Another awesome photograph of a Tampa model by modeling photographer C. A. Passinault, lead photographer Aurora PhotoArts, and director of Tampa Bay Modeling.For modeling portfolio work in the Tampa Bay area, nothing beats location work. Studio photography is not nearly as cost effective, or appropriate, for modeling portfolio work.Keep in mind that this picture, for a modeling portfolio, was taken by a qualified modeling portfolio photographer, C. A. Passinault, for a specialized, professional market, which is modeling. A wedding photographer or a portrait studio will not be able to give models what they need for an effective modeling portfolio, as you have to know what you are doing!This is the 12th picture in our Tampa Bay Modeling online portfolio. Yet another Tampa model shows a marketable look in their portfolio. The best models are capable of the most looks, and are not locked into a single look!Agency model or independent model? It doesnt matter, anymore, especially in Tampa Bay. Professional models like this one can be booked without going through an agency, saving both the model and the job agency fees.Modeling portfolios need at least six looks, and by looks, we mean different looks. A composite cards needs at least five, on average, with a headshot on the front, and four different looks on the back of the comp card. This Tampa model is demonstrating a marketable look right now, in this photography. Picture by C. A. Passinault.

The Long Walk

Page 8 of 8

The Spyder careened around a corner. Tires squealed as it moved in and out thick patches of fog. The high beams of the car kept bouncing back in pace with the fog banks, illuminating her face. Her make-up was no longer perfect.
Cameron had been crying. What a shitty end to a shitty night.
"If you need to talk, you can spend the night at my house."
Cameron sniffed. A tear rolled down her cheek. Her head set was clipped to her left ear, and a rapidly flashing green light on the small device reflected from her driver side window tint. She was on the phone with her best friend.
"Jenny, I have too much to do. Thank you so much for the offer, but I'll be alright. I just need some sleep."
"Are you sure?" Jennifer asked, "You don't sound alright. With all of the issues that you two have been having, I just knew that it was going to come to you and Ryan having it out."
Cameron started to sob again. She brought the mouth piece closer to her mouth.
"Jenny, this wasn't just a fight. We can't talk anymore. I don't understand what is going on in his head. It was worse than a fight. You need to understand that we are over."

The next day wasn't an easy one for Cameron. It was bittersweet. Cameron had nailed the rehearsals the day before, and for the first time she felt that she was ready for the runway event. Valerie showed her some pointers, and they breezed final rehearsal. On the outside, Cameron was composed and focused. On the inside, however, she was a mess. Her heart was no longer into what she was doing. Her passion seemed to be gone. The other models, Mila, and Valerie didn't seem to notice, though. Cameron thought about that. Maybe they did notice, but they either were too focused on the show or they simply did not care. All that she knew is that she no longer cared.
Her heart was broken, and it tied all of the passion that she had for life together.
The lines to the theater were long, and it was filled to capacity as the people poured in. The models were dressed and ready. The stylists, make-up artists, and assistants, all working backstage, were buzzing around them. Cameron could hear the announcer's voice over the audience behind the curtain. He was introducing Mila. The show was about to start, and she wondered if the audience would be able to see into her soul and discover her inner secrets and insecurities. She felt naked and alone. What was it that they said about the eyes being the windows to the soul? What did she used to read in her poetry and philosophy books about hearts and souls? What of love? Was it only a word? Well, maybe she wouldn't let them see her eyes. On second thought, that was silly. She was a model. They had to look into her eyes.
They had to see something. If Kyle meant what he said about her having acting talent, she prayed that he was right. She needed to look invincible when she was walking that runway on each pass and in each change of clothes. She had to make them believe in her.
The models were lined up in order. The clothes were organized neatly in racks, also in order. She felt a nudge in her side. It was Valerie."I have to get in line now. This is it. Just remember, Cammy, have fun. You were born to walk a runway. You're going to blow this place away!"
Cameron nodded. She managed to smile back. "We all are!"
Valerie got into line and the show began. Loud techno music thumped as Mila's voice echoed through the curtains. The models began to walk out into the light.
Cameron emerged on to the runway. It was noisy and bright. The place was packed to capacity. Photographers lined the sides of the runway, snapping away as the flashes from their cameras obscured them. She began to walk, her long legs in perfect stride. Her first mark was coming up.
He doesn't love me anymore.
Cameron started to choke up. She maintained her smile and stride.
He does not love me anymore.
She stopped. Smiled. Her first pause on the runway was done. She had to start walking again in another half-second.
She started walking. She reached the end of the runway, which reached into the middle of the audience. She smiled like she was supposed to. Her eyes scanned the audience. She saw the empty seat. It was where Ryan was supposed to have been.
Time seemed to stop. The music stopped. The audience was frozen. Camera's were suspended in mid flash.
He no longer loves me.
The only thing that seemed to move was a tear. A single tear. It welled up, about to spill and ruin her make-up.
Love has no meaning.
It felt like eternity. Another voice hammered in her head. It sounded like Mila.
The professional runway model deals with inconvenience after the show. Put your personal feelings aside and let the model in you do her job.
Something seemed to pop inside of her head.
Her training kicked in like raw instinct.
The beats of the music thundered through her body and camera flashes bore down on her. Time seemed to catch up to her. The tear receded back into the corner of her eye.
A new feeling engulfed her, and it transcended the emotional turmoil within her. It was powerful. She absorbed the energy around her and it shined back from her a thousand-fold. She realized that for the first time in her life, she actually felt like a runway model. She owned the runway, and this was her night. Her failed relationships took a back seat to this, and she would deal with her personal issues later.
She began to laugh, letting the music inspire her. She turned and began the walk back to the last mark, ready to return to the backstage area to change out into her next evening dress.
This must have been what Valerie was talking about. She finally got it. The never-ending runway would always be before her, and the crowd seemed to always edge her on. The runway event became an experience that would change her career forever, and it set a new course for the life of the model who was born beautiful.
