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.

New Model Images Procedure
The new model images procedure was a daily task that I had to complete at the internship as there will be new images coming from the clients/models every day. My supervisor or a co-worker would receive the images from the client and then will forward the email on to me through intern@tamblynmodelling.com.au. The email that is forward contains the new model images from the client with all the details including clients name and division, when it was taken/sent and photographer's name. Occasionally, if there is was no photographer name, the images were supplied by the client which I then had to make a folder named 'Supplied' and save their new model images inside the Photographer/Named File on S Drive under their division and name.
The process of saving the model images included opening the download file from an email which will be a link to Google Drive, Dropbox or Wetransfer. Then I had to copy and paste images and place it under > S Drive > Model Images > Division Folder > Model's Name > Book > Photographer/Name Folder > Create a folder 'Photographer's Name' or 'Supplied' > Paste images. After completing this step of the process, I then had to send the images on email to Sallie who is my supervisor and name the subject 'New Images - Model Name - Photographer Name or Supplied'. I also had to change the size of the images on email to medium in order for her to clearly view the images and choose the best ones to be converted and uploaded on Portfolio Pad and on the web.
Attached below is the model images procedure checklist and photo samples of sending model images to Sallie's email.
This sample is the new model images of women's model division from a group package. Each of the images that were taken together was saved in each of the models' Photographer/Named file. The images taken of them individually were also saved in their separate folders. Through the procedure of saving these model images, I had to distinguish who's who based on their composite cards.
This sample of new images is of Immi Game who is in the 'Women's Model' division. The photographer that took her images were Ayla Good.
Attached is an example screen recording video that shows how to navigate through folders to save new model images (enter full-screen mode to see it more clear). I was able to connect to the Tamblyn's sever through my mac and save the new model images on Tamblyn's storage.
Overall, although the new model images procedure task was repetitive, I enjoyed saving the new model images as it was a consistent and a simple daily task that I had to complete once I arrived at work. The process depended on how long the file took to download or how many client images I would receive from email.
