In 2003, Aurora PhotoArts Tampa photography and design began a program to test models, develop the professional-grade modeling portfolios and composite cards that models would need to book modeling jobs, and refer models to modeling and talent agencies. The program, called ESPY, which is latin for "I see", was immensely popular, and successful. Many models were tested, and they benefited from the expertise of the professional photographers of Aurora PhotoArts. The top Tampa photography services company at that time, and at the present, Aurora PhotoArts specialized in modeling portfolio photography and talent headshots.

Our Tampa modeling portfolio photography services took up much of our time starting in 2004, with many models opting to skip the model testing and invest in the full modeling portfolios that they needed for their modeling careers. ESPY was discontinued and put on the side lines, and it wasn't expected to be needed anymore.

Until now.

In early 2008, Aurora PhotoArts lead photographer C. A. Passinault envisioned a new Generation of the ESPY program, which would be reformatted as the Espy Tampa Model Testing program. The next Espy was optimized to test new models and to supply modeling and talent agencies with new faces, much like the old ESPY program, but with some enhancements which catered to new models more so than the more experienced professional models who would rather invest in full modeling portfolios. The Espy Model Testing Program would be offered at the standard rate of an Aurora PhotoArts actor headshot photography session, with the option to expand to a full modeling portfolio photography session at nominal cost once the model was happy with the results of their model testing session and opted to invest in what the professional models did. This new Espy program was more appropriate for new models who were exploring the possibilities of starting a modeling career, without the higher rates of a full modeling portfolio photography session. The next Espy would also also inspire independence in the new models, and teach them that they could also book modeling jobs on their own, without going through a modeling and talent agency. Although controversial with modeling and talent agencies, for obvious reasons, more and more professional models were booking work on their own, managing their own modeling careers, while putting the modeling and talent agencies in their proper place as one of many sources of modeling job leads. The professional independent model, as a result, had a pronounced advantage over models who were content to be represented by modeling and talent agencies and who solely depended upon modeling and talent agencies for their modeling job leads.

So, what does our Espy program offer? A Tampa model test photography session which offers modeling portfolio-quality test photography, instructions on posing, and additional modeling instructions by a modeling expert. Once the aspiring model is satisfied with their model testing photographs (and most of them are, as we have one of the highest client satisfaction rates out of any services company, let alone Tampa photography companies), they then have the option of investing in a full modeling portfolio photography session, which they will need to invest in to start their professional modeling portfolio and composite cards (we will explain what these are and what they can do for models during the Q&A session portion of the Espy session). Our model clients who invest in full modeling portfolio photography sessions also have the option of obtaining free modeling profiles on the modeling resources sites that we own and are fully affiliated with.

The next Espy Tampa Model Testing program is optimized to be fully supported by substantial modeling resources, such as the Tampa Bay Modeling modeling resource web site, the Florida Modeling Career modeling resource web site, the Independent Modeling modeling resource web site, and the Advanced Model project.

This new Espy Tampa Model Testing program will be available in spring 2009.
