Filing Contract Forms
On my second day of the internship, I was set the task of filing the model book folder E to K and K to Z in alphabetical order according to the spreadsheet/checklist which the folders consisted of client's contract forms and personal information. This was a priority task I had to complete as I had to thoroughly cross-check my work to see if the clients are in the Tamblyn Management model book, spreadsheet and folder on S Drive.
Below are some examples I took when I was in the process of filing the contract forms.

This task involved a high level of responsibility and accuracy as I had to make sure I am filing it correctly and making sure their names were on the list. If they were not on the model book or spreadsheet, I had to remove them from the folders and mark them as 'archive' which means they are currently inactive clients or no longer under the Tamblyn Models agency.

Tamblyn Management 2018 Model Book
The Tamblyn Management 2018 Model Book is the portfolio of client's model images that includes a short description about the model/talent and their measurements. It is usually updated every year with new model images of the client. The model book is a collection of professionally shot images and natural visuals. Tamblyn Management organises its client's based on which division they fit in. These divisions include Women's/Men's Model, Women's/Men's Real Faces, Girls/Boys Kids and Curve & Classic. Each client have their unique characteristics in which some client's would sometimes cross-over with another division. This is an essential tool for the model/talent as they can gain professional work experience in their modelling career. Saving the model images was the very first task I completed on my first day at the internship and it was an important task to complete as these images needed to be saved in the client's folder on the Tamblyn Management's S Drive.
The navigation process in saving the model images included downloading the 2018 model book from the website and it then opens as a pdf form. After this step was done, I then had to click File > Print > Pages (change page number according to model's page number for example, page 36 to 37) > Save As PDF > Change File Name (First Name_Last Name) > S Drive > Model Images > Division Folder Name > Model Name > Docs. Sometimes if the model did not have a docs folder, I had to create one. Each model/talent had two pages each in the model book. When saving the model images, it involved a high level of accuracy as I had to make sure each page number for each of the model was saved correctly in their folders. Saving the model images was really time-consuming and repetitive taking me four hours to finish saving all 301 pages. It also took longer than expected as I sometimes had to do two things at once, however, I was able to finish this in a day so that I could start on a new task the next day.
Below are some examples of the model/talent images from each division that I saved from the model book. Please feel free to scroll down and have a look!

A JOURNALIST'S PORTFOLIO
Alieda Ross Inteview & Blog
At the internship, I had a wonderful opportunity to do a phone interview with Aleida Ross who is a model in the women's model division. Before I had interviewed Aleida, I formulated a list of questions that I asked her regarding her experiences and what goals she hopes to achieve in the future with her modelling career. Furthermore, to assist me in writing this blog, I transcribed the interview and did a little Google search on how to create a blog by looking at other model agency websites influences and social media blogs. Though the blog is not yet published on the new Tamblyn Management website, I had a lot of fun writing and editing it as I had the ability to freely write it in my own writing style and put my own spin on it.
Please feel free to read the blog about Alieda Ross below!

Alieda Ross Blog
Alieda Ross is an Australian Model who is under the Tamblyn Models agency. Despite her love for fashion to taking professional photography in designer brands, her versatile style is always on trend and she always looks stunning in her shoots. Alieda Ross’s valuable lesson she took from her modelling experience is that:
“Always support others, be very open-minded and know that everyone is beautiful.”
~ Alieda Ross.
Besides maintaining a professional image in her workplace, Alieda is someone who is outgoing, positive, hardworking, genuine, honest, happy and always smiling when she is casting or is working in different cities in Australia or travelling to different places like Milan for her shoots. Another valuable lesson Alieda learnt from her career is even though sometimes things may not go to plan, or you don’t get a job for a particular shoot, don’t be too focused or caught up in trying to do a good job because there will always be other opportunities. When travelling into a foreign country where not many people speak English, she always gets an opportunity to meet and socialise with people and be friendly towards them. Her biggest influencers come from two famous Australia models who are Miranda Kerr and Jennifer Hawkins. In 2010, she had the opportunity to model with Miranda Kerr at a David Jones Fashion Show.
Her love and inspiration for modelling have led her to work, travel internationally and feel independent as well as experience many different events in her modelling career and life. When she was young, she had learnt all the etiquette training she needed which helped her come out of her comfort zone and become more confident. Alieda’s current goal and ambition at the moment that she hopes to achieve is to do a Guess campaign. When she was in Milan, she shot with Guess for an e-commerce which occurred almost every week. This depended on when their stock arrived due to it being from America as well as when she could shoot and how often can she shoot. Because of her connection with Guess in Milan, Alieda will be travelling to Germany which she may do a Guess campaign over there too. Alieda Ross hopes to travel to more high-end capitals for high-end brand campaigns and will continue pursuing her career as a model.
