Finding A Rep To Match Style and Skill Level

Q:

Do you know of a rep who would take a photographer of my style and skill level? I realize I’m very likely not a good fit for SternRep, but perhaps you know of someone I could work with. 

A:

Questions that run through my mind when I get this question:

1. Does the photographer fit into what the rep specializes in? 

2. Who are the photographer’s clientele, and do they match that rep’s quality level?

3. Does the style flow with the others on their roster? 

4. Is there an agent known for this type of look/feel? 

5. What level or stage is this photographer in, and are they ready for a rep? 

6. Would this photographer fit into a specific location or part of the country and need a rep in this area?

7. Do I know this photographer, or do I get a good feeling from them? Can I contact other reps for them?
