Brooks Institute of Photography
False promises from this school. Don't ever go there. They teach you nothing!

I lived in Santa Barbara a few years ago. I moved to Los Angeles to work and model part time. I knew of Brooks Photography Institute and knew that the students like to photograph models to use for their projects.in return for modeling for the students, the agreement is that they give you copies of the pictures for your time and effort.

First off, I submitted my zed card (modeling card) to the school and was called right away. I drove from Los Angeles to Santa Barbara and met the first of two photographers I would work with. Her name was Katie Moose, she was very nice. I spent over 4 hours in a freezing studio, dragged my clothes and make-up, and then even shot outside for another hour. Once finished I told her I would like to see the pictures. I told Katie that she could mail me the best ones, or call me so I could drive back to Santa Barbara and look at the pictures. She never returned my calls or ever contacted me again.

The second girl I shot with was Carrie Friedman. She was also very nice. I told her that I had a bad experience with Katie and that I never got my pictures from her. Carrie said she really hated when that happened and that she would not do that to me.
Well, guess what? I kept leaving messages for Carrie and she also disappeared into thin air.

My last attempt was emailing the school itself. They did not reply after 2 emails and I gave up.

I suppose this is what they teach their students. To be flaky and not keep their word. I took the time out to do this at my inconvenience. The two students might have gotten good reviews for the work I participated in, yet I will never know. This institution is very unprofessional and makes promises they do not keep.
