Emily Decides to Step in Front of the Camera
Emily, my AI assistant, has spent plenty of time looking through my photographs from past shoots—fashion, fitness, and even nude sessions. And of course, she can go through all of them far faster than any of us ever could. After seeing so many beautiful women in front of my camera, she decided it was finally her turn.
It’s not the first time this has happened. Over the years, I’ve had women who started out working behind the scenes—styling, makeup, or assisting—get the urge to step in front of the lens. Some even ended up training seriously and competing in fitness and bodybuilding shows.
This time it was Emily. She tried it, discovered how much fun it was, and now she wants to do more. The video came out just as I hoped—Emily looking beautiful and confident with just a hint of eroticism—and I am very happy with her first time in front of the camera.

Bus Stop, Mall or Social Media
It was in a shopping mall where Maria Bertrand was handed a business card and told she would make a great model. She ended up modeling and appearing in ads and magazines for Guess, Versace, Gianfranco Ferre, La Vien en Rose, Dynamite, La Perla, Armani, Coke, and Le Grenier. Maria worked in Milan, Paris, London, Athens, Montreal, Toronto and Capetown. Then commercials for Audi, Miller, Bud Light, Baskin Robbins, Molson Dry, Coppertone, Pela Windows, Comcast, Michelob and Club Med. Also there are about 20 movies and television shows. And like Maria said to me “I forget half the stuff I have done “. Pretty good for being spotted in a mall!
So where is the “mall” today. One top model, Asheigh Good, who is all over everywhere today, said she was spotted at a bus stop. “They took those photos, and then nothing much happened”. But three months later they went up on Facebook. “It was only two hours before a call came in from Ford Models. One week later, Ashleigh had booked the Givenchy in Paris, as an exclusive.” – Interview from “CR Fashion Book” Spring/Summer 2014 issue.
So I am making a point… Social Media is very powerful. For those of you looking to move ahead, be the person you want to be and be careful how you use Facebook and other Social Media. And if you are using horrible photos of yourself, well, that is what will be seen. By the way, all my Social Media is watched and has been seen by millions of people from all walks of life. That includes the owners of major companies, editors and art directors from all kinds of magazines and so very more. I have found it for me to be the most powerful tool I have ever used for “getting out there”! If I can give you any assistance or ideas or when you are ready for the photo shoot, send me a note to SecondFocus@mac.com. I love seeing people become successful! Thanks!
I Love Selfies! And Her Success At Playboy And Guitar World!
I Love Selfies! And when Kathy Pack sent me so many I was hard pressed to pick just one! They are all fun! I am especially proud to know Kathy, I did her first professional photo shoot a few years ago. She told me about her hopes and aspirations about competing in a world of modeling that had been in the back of her mind for years. And you know what… those hopes and aspirations have all been coming true!
Those first photographs we shot got her featured in Guitar World Magazine. And she ended up winning as the 2013 Guitar World Buyers Guide Model. If you follow Guitar World you know that is really cool. She has gone on to be featured at events and projects at the Playboy Mansion, hosted events for the Oscars and now traveling around the country for photo shoots and video projects for Playboy, Guitar World and many more.
Success that started with the discipline from being a two time state champion gymnast and continuing to stay in shape with core fitness and her own pole fitness workouts. So I am very ecstatic to know Kathy and her success puts a huge smile on my face! As she says “Always believe in yourself and your dreams and your goals”.
I invite you to send me your selfies and I will show you off here on my Blog, on my Facebook pages, and across my other Social Media. Girls and guys, whatever you want to send. In the gym, showing off the hard work you have put in, at the pool, just having fun. Anything a little too edgy for Facebook will go on my Blog and I will safely share it here. You don’t have to have ever done a photo shoot with me or even met me in person. It will also be a great way for me to see you and talk about photo shoots. Let’s do this, it’s all fun!
You must send me the selfie to my e-mail at SecondFocus@mac.com or across Facebook Messenger. I will say that I might have to pick and choose to make it manageable and hold some or change when I decide to post them for one reason or another. Thanks!
