Join fashion and model photographer Anthony Grassetti and lead art director of Rue La La and Gilt.com Evan Crothers, as they reveal the often secretive world of commercial modeling.

Becoming a paid model who books consistent work is no easy task, particularly when the research is not readily available online.  Anthony has teamed with Evan to present a full day crash course on the ins and outs of modeling.  Not only will you learn about the industry, modeling agencies, posing tips, etiquette, etc – but you will also have the opportunity to model for Anthony while being coached directly by Evan on how to pose.  In addition, expert makeup artist Arturo Draper will be on hand to assist you in touching up your makeup and hair before the shoot.  In the end, you will receive 3 retouched images including a headshot and full length image, as well as a deep understanding of how to succeed in the world of modeling.  In addition, each model will receive a set of model digitals.

PLUS we are happy to announce a special in-person modeling demonstration by Tess Gleason!

Success Stories

Mateus L
Mateus LMaggie, Inc
Mateus attended our second model workshop with no prior experience. Shortly after, he returned for a full portfolio photoshoot with Anthony and has since signed with Maggie Inc. in Boston. Mateus is off to a great start and has already landed an incredible gig modeling for a Brooks Brothers campaign.

“Attending the model workshop was an exceptional experience! The instructors were highly knowledgeable, providing insightful guidance and hands-on training. The curriculum was well-structured, covering a broad range of modeling techniques. The workshop fostered a collaborative environment, allowing participants to learn from each other. Overall, it exceeded my expectations, and I highly recommend it to anyone looking to enhance their modeling skills. Five stars!” – Mateus

Meg S

Though Meg is no stranger to the industry at large – her sister is actor Ally Sheedy from “The Breakfast Club” (1985), “St. Elmo’s fire” (1985), “Single Drunk Female” (2022-2023) – Meg needed a comprehensive introduction to the modeling industry specifically. Since attending the workshop, Meg signed with Maggie, Inc and went on to book an international hotel/resort campaign as well as fit-modeled for the globally recognized brand “J. Jill.” Meg has since returned for two portfolio photoshoots with Anthony and continues to develop her burgeoning model career.
Andrew B

Andrew was also brand new to modeling when he attended the very first Model Workshop. He had recently completed his first photoshoot with Anthony, and went on to sign with Maggie Inc. Andrew then booked an amazing opportunity with a huge client, Puma.

“My time at the model workshop opened doors into the industry that was not possible before the experience. I got to work alongside industry experts who shared what it takes to be successful in the line of work. Moreover, shortly after the model workshop I was picked up by an agency and landed a high level shoot with Puma, fulfilling a milestone in my life. If the goal is to grow as model, there is no better place to start than the model workshop. ” – Andrew
