Giovanni seemed like the easiest fit but the minimal look of the agency left me wondering... about the value of design... I rationalized that it does not influence bookings. Now that I am married and stable, I am finally not in a hurry and have no desire to perform in a fake world. I can take my time to develop great working relationships with clients and just enjoy my work. Then I passed by Surtherland to see if they still had copies of my book. I did not tell them I was back in town. (Thinking a change might be for the better.) The office looks great and the people are kind but the office always felt a little ascetic to me. The vibe felt great a couple of years ago when I had just come back from my spin around the world. It was a time when I felt I had to hurry up and get jobs because I never new what was around the corner.
I just got off the phone with Brandon. He asked me what I am up to and told me they no longer have copies of my book. (I did 10 jobs in about 1 month and a half while they represented me.) He congratulated me for the wedding but did not assume I was still with them, which is just how I wanted it. This was an easy phone call to make after all. I was dreading it, afraid to be stuck in between two agencies. I am glad it has worked out so far. I left a message with Sharon and spoke with "I forget his name", He let me know that they loved my book and had been waiting a year for me to get in touch with them. I guess everything is on track now. I just have to start exercising more.
Sharon and I spoke again. She really is lovely. We spoke of how important is was for relationships to be fluid. All their models have an inner vibe that transcends hype. Often client comment on how Giovanni models are always a pleasure to work with. I truly resonate with what this agency is about. I am glad to be apart of them.
