Eight quick tips for applying to a casting call by Carlo Nicora

Eight quick tips for applying to a casting call

In the last months my role as Producer of the photographic project for The Round Peg has grown a lot. At first we were working with one or two models per session, with a team of 4 or 5 people, receiving fifty applications to the casting calls, but with our projects grew in size, our teams grew as well. Right now it is rare to have a team of less than 10 people between models, makeup artists, hair stylists, stylists, assistants and photographers. Our casting calls has grew as well, with clearer visions the usual number of applications is generally over one hundred. This role is very interesting and challenging, and the time spent on it taught me many things. This post is about few of these I would like to share to everyone who is going to apply to a casting call. It does not matter if you are a model, a makeup artist or a photographer: there are few tips that will help you overcome the challenges and be casted for the role you want so much.

Fashion in the streets of London by Carlo Nicora

Fashion in the streets of London

Walking the streets of London with a camera with me gives me the possibility to capture not only some incredible moments, but also some people who, in a way or in another, drive the idea of fashion from the bottom up.

Street Hunting with the Canon 85mm f/1.2 by Carlo Nicora

Street Hunting with the Canon 85mm f/1.2

Last week I was lucky enough to receive the Canon 85mm f/1.2L II USM on a week loan from Canon. I had always heard that this lens is absolutely fantastic, but that it is very slow in focussing, so I decided to put it under pressure, bring it with me on the streets of London.

Canon Pro Photo Solutions 09 by Carlo Nicora

Canon Pro Photo Solutions 09

You can read this post on our new Photo Blog: The Round Blog!

After last year’s road test of the Canon 5D Mark II, the guys at 1000 heads and Canon offered me another great possibility: be their guest at the Canon Pro Photo Solutions on Tuesday 27th October in London.
The Pro Photo Solutions is the largest event for professionals photographers and has been a great showcase of technology, solutions and seminars.

I was proud to wear a badge that identified me as “Blogger” and not as Visitor or Exhibitor. Someone also asked me how it feels to be a blogger, but I think that he thought that this was my day-to-day job. Unfortunately this blog does not pay me the rent, but for a day is nice to be 100% what you feel inside: a Blogger and a Photographer!
Another note I should add is about the photos that will go with this post: maybe I should have focused more on capturing the whole audience, the many things going on, the stalls and the many technological tools, but this is not who I am. I like people, I like portraiture and I had the possibility to play with THE Canon portrait lens, so I underlined the people over there. This is my photography.

Published assignment! by Carlo Nicora

Published assignment!

I am a great supporter of the digital age, nevertheless feeling the paper under my skin has always been a fantastic feeling. The books, with their scent of paper and ink, always attracted the attention of a digital man like me. Moreover now that my attention is drawn to photography and to see our own photos published, one thing is to see them in some website or in some PDF files, but feeling the paper carrying your photo under the skins of your finger is completely another thing, another emotion.
