His credits include 100 or more national & foreign commercials, over 500 fashion shows, and 100's of print jobs for magazines, catalogs, calendars, posters, and billboards, as well as Starring roles in Film and TV...making him over a million dollars to date. From modeling, Karl has made a natural progression from one side of the camera to the other as a professional photographer...8 years running. While he doesn't actively pursue photo assignments for magazines, catalogs and the like, he does occasionally accept these industry jobs if time allows. Most recently, Karl was hired to shoot a Taiwanese catalog and a CD cover. His forte' is shooting portfolios as well as commercial / theatrical headshots for many of the leading agencies in the Los Angeles and surrounding areas. Karl is always willing to look at all submissions mailed to him in reference to hiring models for upcoming industry jobs, and for getting new (better) photos.

Karl writes and speaks from a factual point of view based on over 14 years of experience and success. He has attempted to give you the pros and cons the industry may potentially offer you. In no way does he hide the reality of the business. He has simply given you the unique perspective of being on the inside looking out. Hopefully, through this publication, based on his experience gained by his personal success & body of work, you can make better decisions, avoid more mistakes, and waste less time and money in the pursuit of your individual dreams...

"I wish you all the success in the world. Good Luck!"

"My purpose for writing MODELMANIA is, 1)...To ease one's introduction to the modeling industry by providing them with comprehensive, accurate information and contacts, 2)...To provide a solid base from which to start from in as little time and with as little money as possible, 3) To provide a highly cost-efficient, all-inclusive guide geared toward your personal success in the modeling industry, and, 4) To provide a welcome alternative to the bogus, rip-off schools, agencies & individuals that prey on unknowing, innocent souls.

This one guide above all others is by far the most powerful, informative, single source of information on the subject of modeling you will find. The biggest reason I know this is true, aside from my experience and the valuable sources, is the complete honesty from which this work is based. It's true, we all want to hear that we are wanted...that we will be successful...that we will be big stars...that we have the right look. The only sure confirmation of any of those statements will come when a client is willing to pay you for those services...when you get the check in the mail!"
