Jim Stefan on Tips and Tricks for Being Photographed

Jim Stefan, owner and chief executive officer of EMPV Model and Talent Management Agency, spends every day surrounded by scores of beautiful men and women who make their living being photographed. Because Jim Stefan has made his living advising and managing people who are exceedingly photogenic, he has quite the knowledge of how to look your best in pictures. Jim Stefan has offered some tips.

1. Jim Stefan says that the best way to look your best in a photograph is to actually look your best in real life. Before you think that Jim Stefan is suggesting extreme weight loss or a total and complete makeover, we assure you that he just means presenting yourself well in public every day. For some, this may require additional trips to the gym, but for most, Jim Stefan advises, looking your best just means making sure that you always leave the house looking ready to be photographed.
2. Jim Stefan advises you to find your "good side." Most people have a side from which their face and body look best. To ensure the best photographs, Jim Stefan continues, you should always position yourself so that your good side is closet to the camera. To find your good side, Jim Stefan says that you should take five or ten minutes in front of a mirror to determine which one of your sides looks the best.
3. When it comes time to be photographed, Jim Stefan has the following advice: make sure you are standing up straight with your good side angled to the camera. Good posture automatically makes people look their best. Then, if you are concerned about your arms looking fatter than they really are, place your hands on your hips to ensure that your arms are not smooshed up against anything. This visual trick also works for legs.

How to Get Into The Show with Jim Stefan



Jim Stefan has made a name for himself as one of the premier members of the entertainment management industry in New South Wales. As such, Jim Stefan is the owner and chief executive officer of a number of companies, including: the Lloyd Harrison Entertainment Group, Lloyd Harrison Music, EMPV Model and Talent Management Agency, and Platform3 Media. Some of Jim Stefan's primary responsibilities for his companies are owning, operating, and managing a variety of fantastic entertainment venues.

Because Jim Stefan is so entrenched in the entertainment industry, particularly the management of a wide variety of venues, he is intimately familiar with how frustrating it can be to try and make it to a big show. Jim Stefan has some tips for you to ensure that you never have to miss a great performance ever again.

First, check early and often to see when your favorite performers are coming to a venue near you. Do not just check the performer's website, says Jim Stefan. Instead, take the time to bookmark the websites of a number of venues that are near to you. Often, the venue web sites will post performance dates before the performers will.

Second, Jim Stefan says that you should try and purchase tickets as soon as a performer that you would like to see is announced at a given venue. Ticket prices are only ever going to go up as the event draws nearer.

Third, while it would be ideal for you to purchase tickets directly from the venue, says Jim Stefan, if you missed out the first time around, there are, in fact, other ways to score great tickets for a given performance at the last minute. Check out web sites like Stub Hub and Ticket Master, says Jim Stefan. In a pinch, Jim Stefan elaborates, you can even check out places like Craigslist.
