ORANGE COUNTYS NUMBER 1 PHOTOGRAPHER

San Juan Capistrano, California (The Hollywood Times) 4/30/2026
We all know that finding the right Talent agent in Hollywood is equivalent for a WOMAN to find “The ONE”. Some talent finds the right agent right away; some it takes years and for others they never find the right agent. I know for myself, that I have yet to find “THE ONE” (THE RIGHT TALENT AGENT). In all honesty I have had some good agents that booked me on some reputable projects, but in the end my vision and career goals did not align long term. It was all just various passages in life.
However, I have been a (SAG/AFRTA) member since 2010 and recently felt the itch to work as an actor on a Network TV Show and or STUDIO FILM. Since Spring is in the air, and flowers are blossoming, I decided to try my luck. Being an Entertainment Reporter, I recently was invited to an “AMARE” MAGAINZE PARTY for “ORANGE COUNTY” BY PR POWERHOUSE RAQUEL FIGLO” and met photographer Casian. I immediately felt his presence but in a very SEXY “SURFER JOE” WAY.
Casian, has blond hair and bluish/green eyes and a very athletic build, but then he is an artist as well, and the conglomerate intrigued me. I went to see his photography work, and I really liked what I saw. I asked Casian to shoot me some new head shots so I can find “THE ONE” TALENT AGENT as I still need to earn my pension and make some serious studio money. Let’s be honest life is getting unaffordable in CALIFORNIA, and we all need that STUDIO AND/OR NETWORK MONEY to have a shot at building some financial stability as Entertainers.
As I am leaving for THE SOUTH OF FRANCE next week to cover THE 79 CANNES FILM FESTIVAL for “THT”. HBO “WHITE LOTUS” & “EMILY IN PARIS” is filming in the French Riviera currently. LUCK is when “chance meets opportunity” but “ONLY JOSIE KNOWS” must be prepared to meet her A list director, producers and castings associates with competitive head shots including a commercial shot, theatrical, and some lifestyle shots.
Casian shot 5 fabulous photos for my portfolio:
I was very impressed with my makeup and hair. The last time I felt so sexy was when I shot my Playboy Pictorial. My skin was glowing, and I felt 25-years-young again. It was like I transformed into various characters that I could see myself playing on tv. I was also so happy with my various hairstyles and how the makeup artist Ioana Sarbu” from Sister Salon Co had the magic touch to get various looks so quickly.
Don’t worry my viewers, I vloged the whole experience from start to finish. Come behind the scenes with me and see how we got such amazing head shots.
I have some good news for my fellow talent in the entertainment industry. As an Investigative Journalist looking to move us all forward to acquiring our dreams, Casian is offering a special to shoot 6 looks, for ($ 195) which usually is ($295) until the end of June 2026. Come down to OC, San Juan Capistrano, via Amtrak Pacific Surf liner from Union Station in Downtown, Los Angeles.
I am “ONLY JOSIE KNOWS” AND I KNOW that this photographer and makeup artist Ioana Sarbu from Sister Salon Co gave me 100% and I have this little inkling that my new head shots will open a new passage for me in conquering my dreams in show business. Stay tuned my friends…
