Shot on film by Lydia Hudgens

I think this was the last agency test shoot I did. I've been with two modeling agencies in NYC and I don't think either of them knew what to do with me. Another thing about test shoots is, oftentimes, agencies will have a list of photographers they 'work with' (ie the agency gets a kickback on what you pay the photographer for the shoot) so you can do an amazing shoot with a photog who's not on their list and they'll just ignore the photos (my last agency ignored every portfolio update I sent them lol).

I probably sound a little jaded and maybe I am. The modeling industry is clique-y and abusive in so many ways.
