Photographer Rico Foto Chico

Jan 9, 2009 0 comments

Story by: Taylor Alexander
Photo: from www.modelzone.net


His name is RicoFotoChico or Rico for short. He is a professional model working in urban, high fashion, pinup in addition to artistic work. Rico has been working in all parts of entertainment pretty much his whole life from Music Productions to Radio, Dance , Choreography, to Drama. Stage work as well as Modeling Instructor and Talent Scout to Disc Jockey and now Professional Photographer over the past 3 years specifically focussing on Models involving fashion, entertainment as well as magazine image making and in the Jacksonville Beach, Florida area.




Rico picked up his first camera at age 9 with his Uncle who shot for the government in Washington D.C. Somewhere long the line he decided that he wanted to be front of the lens as well. Believe it or not he is able to do both and very well. His work is simply stunning! Rico has a great eye for the camera, using shadows and light at his disposal to mix perfectly with the environment in which the shots are taken. I believe his experience in-front of the camera is what allows him to excel behind it. He seem to have a knack of making every model work within every shot, but the photos look almost effortless and natural, not forced. He says his main focus of late is with a concentration towards the Imaginary, Cinematography Image of image making and gravitating towards that slowly.

If you are a model in the Florida area you should get in contact with RicoFotoChico Photography to add to your portfolio. If you are not in the Florida area you should study his work. His pictures are beautiful!

How Long Should Models Do TFCD's ?

Jan 7, 2009 0 comments

Story by:Taylor Alexander

As a new model starting in this industry how long do you do TFCD? Good question. First lets start by explaining what TFCD/TFP is and what it is to be used for.

TFCD or TFP stands for time for CD or prints. This simply means no one gets paid but you both get to use the images produced for your portfolios. The purpose of this little industry tool was to build portfolios for starting models & photographers. Now that being said, you are no longer a new model starting out if you are have been doing TFCD's for two years! Some models in the business work with different photographers and keeping tell all of them they are just starting to build up their ports. This in addition to a growing trend in the industry as a whole to request TFCD/TFP shoots, is really hurting the industry.

Experienced models that are expecting to get compensated for their model talents are easily undercut by the next eager up-in-coming model willing and ready to get to work for free.

Experienced Photographers are effected by the TFCD trend as well because models expect to get shoots done without pay.

We know that everyone who picks up a camera is not photographer. No more than everyone in front of the camera is a model. It takes a lot of work, experience and education to excel in both fields. Both sides should be compensated for their talent and efforts.


This trend of TFCD/TCP request is putting a huge hole in the industry and is almost at the point that it is expected between both parties. As a new model starting out try to remember that we are all in this business together. Use TFCD's to build your portfolio, but please don't take advantage of policy that was designed to help you in the first place.

The British Fashion Awards this year presented Jourdan Dunn with the model of the year prize.

The London teenager hailed as the next Naomi Campbell who debuted a little over a year ago has had a busy year. She has also been very outspoken concerning the lack of black models in the fashion model business.

She asked a couple of months ago: "London's not a white city so why should our catwalks be so white? I go to castings and see several black and Asian girls, then I go to the show and look around and there's just me and maybe one other coloured face. Jourdan is the first black model in 15 years that walked Prada!

Congrats Jourdan on being name Model of 2008!
