CLICK HERE TO FIND OUT ABOUT OUR BOUDOIR PHOTOGRAPHY

As casting directors we work closely with a number directors and producers of a wide variety of production companies, for BBC TV dramas, independent films, photo shoots for brochure production, web commercial models and big brand models such as Triumph - we know what the marketplace is looking for and how models should be presenting themselves.

As we have never worked with you before we need a full portfolio of photos and a CV which includes all of your statistics, credits and links to any online information available here to be able to put you forwards to prospective clients. Please email your portfolio and your CV to info@bdiscovered.net We will then consider you for the roles as they come in.

If you need to create a more diverse and memorable photographic portfolio or even better a memorable website to make you stand out from the crowd and catch the eye of people in the industry we are best placed to help you launch your career.
 
We take the time to create a number of strong modelling looks for you, here at our studio just outside Cardiff by using ordinary props, different style backdrops, different settings and locations (weather permitting) to develop the portfolio you need to progress your career.
 
We will guide you in preparing some clothing, jewellery and shoes. For the girls can you bring along high heeled shoes, a dress, jeans/trousers, a t-shirt or top, a suit (or smart casual outfit) and a bikini/tank tini/swimsuit (maybe lingerie if comfortable) . For the guys can you bring along smart shoes and trainers, jeans/trousers, t-shirts and shirts, a suit (or smart casual outfit), a casual jacket and some sportswear. To create 6 - 8 good looks usually requires bringing 10 - 15 outfits to us to pick the correct ones to create the right image for you. Please bring a robe for your comfort between indoor shoots and a warm jacket or coat for outdoor shoots.
 
We will be taking 150 – 250 photos to create 6 – 8 good strong modelling looks and a sharp distinctive portfolio of 20 - 30 photos, so interesting and diverse clothing and a variety of colours are needed. Bring along anything else that may make you feel special like a club/party outfit or something bright and colourful or even unusual props that'll make you stand out from the crowd!
 
As casting directors we know what the industry is looking for, if you look through any magazine you’ll see that about ¾ of the photos are in settings rather than a studio so clients want to see how you look in different settings not just in a studio and so we will also be taking photos in the studio as well as in settings and locations to give you a diversity of looks.
 
Also clients looking for models generally want to see photos that have not been digitally altered, so we will be working on shots that are good enough to show you off in the best possible light without digital enhancement.
 
At the photo shoot there will be a professional makeup artist and personal stylist who will make you up, style your hair and teach you tips and techniques as we go including a number of personal styling and modelling techniques. For the girls can you bring along your favourite makeup i.e. favourite lipstick and please bring false eyelashes for a more dramatic look, for the guys can you bring along your favourite hair styling products and anything that makes you look more dramatic.
 
We will shoot for about 4 - 5 hours and if needed will rebook a time to photo shoot again.
 
The day will be relaxed so that you can relax into the shoot, remember to practice some poses if you wish but we will guide you and will take care of your hair and makeup during the shoot.
 
If you want us to achieve a specific look for you, please discuss this with us before the day of the shoot.
 
Also please make friends on facebook - http://www.facebook.com/tina.hartery and http://www.facebook.com/nick.hartery a lot of promotion and networking is done here.

The standard photo shoot package is £200 payable for you to have the copyright use of all of the photos taken, £50 deposit is payable by credit or debit card to secure the photo shoot booking and the balance of £150 is payable in cash on the day of the photo shoot.

What The Directors Say:

Hi Tina
 
Just wanted to say thank you for everything you have done. We have had so many people apply.
 
Due to this we have to stop asking people to apply as there are no more audition times left :D. Which is absolutely fantastic. We will be having two days of auditions at Holiday Inn hotel and I am really excited about it.
 
Thank you again for everything.

BDiscovered Credo

It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat.


The Man In The Glass


When you get what you want in your struggle for self
And the world makes you king for a day,Just go to the mirror and look at yourself
And see what that man has to say.
For it isn't your father or mother or wife
Whose judgment upon you must pass.
The fellow whose verdict counts most in you lifeIs the one staring back from the glass.
You may be like Jack Horner and chisel a plumAnd think you're a wonderful guy.
But the man in the glass says you're only a bum
If you can't look him straight in the eye.
He's the fellow to please-never mind all the rest,
For he's with you clear to the end.And you've passed your most dangerous, difficult test
If the man in the glass is your friend.
You may fool the whole world down the pathway of years
And get pats on the back as you pass.
But your final reward will be heartache and tearsIf you've cheated the man in the glass.
