Visiting IMG Paris...

Ashlynn was all smiles when we arrived at IMG Models in Paris on September 4. It was hard to believe that she was actually on her way to becoming an IMG Girl. While it would take another three weeks to iron out the details of the contract via email, it was a productive meeting with Jeni Rose and Ashlynn’s manager Franziska Rudolph.

Although this isn’t the most flattering image, here is Ashlynn in the metro on her way to her first ever test shoot. A new-model test shoot is a fashion shoot in order for a model to acquire images for her portfolio. In some cases, the photographer will volunteer his or her services in order to build their own portfolio; in other cases, the photographer will charge the model (or in our case, charge IMG thus creating a debt for Ashlynn to work off).
