		Raptor Class Web site by EOS MediaArts, a Tampa Bay advertising agency and Passinault.Com company. Raptor Class site 001. Commissioned 01.18.06. Some content, site file structure, and code based on the original Tampa Bay Modeling site launched 10.18.04. Site Art Director And Code Architect: C. A. Passinault. This is the prototype Raptor Class web site designed and commissioned by the EOS MediaArts web team. The site was completed and launched on Wednesday, January 18, 2006, at 9AM EST. Raptor Class sites are designed for quick navigation to relevant content, enhanced model scam combat operations, industry rate regulation, professional regulation of the model photography services industry, and image marketing for contributing professional photographers. The site is optimized to fight misconceptions in the modeling industry and is aimed squarely at the Tampa Bay market, but the information and tools are effective throughout the industry. Raptor Class sites employ the latest search engine optimization (SEO) technology, and use primary CSS templates and dynamic HTML to provide a content-frame delivery interface without employing frames. Raptor Class web sites can be recognized by their mouse-over menus on the left, title bar on the top, a series of fourteen image thumbnails below that, and a section title under the thumbnails. Main images are displayed to the right, and DHTML content is next to the main menu stack on the left. Text links and banners are underneath. Raptor Class sites are named after birds of prey for their aggressive and fighting nature; Raptor Class sites are engineered to be the most effective model scam fighting sites in the world. About the Tampa Bay Modeling Raptor Class site. This Raptor Class site is optimized to help regulate industry rates in the Tampa Bay market, and retains several experimental features, such as the successful reverse auction system for modeling industry services. It features an opinion section, which is formatted much like a blog with posts from the models on our staff, and a new-generation mail bag formatted in the same way with refined data organization and cross-reference capabilities. One big addition is the inclusion of pictures in the new design, which serves to help models and photographers market themselves as the pictures are used throughout the Tampa Bay Modeling site. The site can easily facilitate the addition of pictures. A series of micro-thumbnail buttons over the section headers will highlight the newest added images, which leads directly to an online portfolio section. The site hosts articles and other exclusive content, as well as Tampa Bay market optimized versions of material already hosted on sites like Independent Modeling. This will be the second site to feature the ongoing modeling series Born Beautiful, which is about the adventures of Tampa Bay freelance model Cameron Passinault. The versions of the Born Beautiful episodes on Tampa Bay Modeling will have new additions exclusive to the site, too! This site also features model stories and anecdotes, as well as tutorials and interactive tutorials originally developed by Independent Modeling. The reverse auction system has been improved to include businesses and photographers who want to have models or each other bid for services, balancing out the process and enhancing negotiations. The newest additions to the reverse auction bidding system does not depend on our message boards, either, and can be set up on any message board forum on the Internet. Tampa Bay Modeling will be working with leading model resource site Independent Modeling and the upcoming Advanced Model to help models and professionals in the modeling industry this year. It will tackle modeling geographically, addressing the industry in the Tampa Bay market and central Florida. Allies at Independent Modeling are a top modeling resource on a state and national level, and Advanced Model will be an industry and world-wide resource and online magazine addressing the Independent Freelance Modeling movement as well as the old, agency-based modeling industry. The Tampa Bay Modeling web site was originally launched on October 18, 2004. Originally, Tampa Bay Modeling was a simple geographically-marketed modeling resource site designed to service the modeling industry in Tampa Bay. The site was influenced and assisted by popular modeling resource site Independent Modeling, which at that time was effectively slugging it out with model scams and was instrumental in decimating several known scams. The Tampa Bay Modeling site had experimental features and a message board back-end. The site was very docile with its original mission and did not have any negative commentary or model scam fighting capabilities, although a lot of the original content was intended to help models with regulating model portfolio photography and modeling industry rates, in particular. On January 18, 2006, this new Raptor Class Tampa Bay Modeling site launched. The new site was optimized to fight industry misconceptions and fight scams. As Independent Modeling was reformatted to promote talent and become the ultimate career and industry resource, much of the advanced scam fighting technology and the more controversial tools developed by them was licensed to us. Old features like the message board were discontinued.

Be aware of what they are, and be careful! As of February 24, 2007, Tampa Bay Modeling and our industry allies are at war with unethical and unprofessional elements in the Tampa Bay and Florida modeling industry. Our primary targets are Tampa Bay model consultation and agency placement scams, Tampa Bay model searches, Tampa Bay model job scams, Tampa Bay TFP photographers, and Tampa Bay model photography scams. We expect the fight to last years, and we already know that we have been tremendously effective in helping to change the modeling industry so far, as we have the dominate voice in the Tampa Bay modeling industry. Models, your help has arrived, and it is right here. Regarding Tampa Bay model and talent agencies, we are now convinced that the licensed ones (and all of the ones who are SAG franchised) are on the level and are not doing anything wrong. This said, they have no business managing the career of any professional model, due to the fact that they are working conflicts on interest, as they also represent other models who are in competition for the same jobs that they refer them to. Tampa Bay model and talent agencies also have no business referring aspiring models to any photographers, and we strongly recommend that models find photographers on their own and obtain their modeling portfolios before talking to any modeling agencies. Model and talent agencies should be used only as a source of model jobs and nothing more. By all means, utilize model and talent agencies as one of your many sources of potential jobs, but never let them tell you what to do and always scrutinize their advice. The agency way is no longer the only way, and there are professional alternatives to Tampa Bay model and talent agencies! Also, please note that model and talent agency scams are still around, too. The Tampa Bay Talent Sites ADDED MARCH 29, 2007. UPDATED OCTOBER 01, 2007 TAMPA BAY MODELING - TAMPA BAY ACTING - TAMPA BAY FILM There are now a total of three Tampa Bay Talent web sites. These sites are Tampa Bay Modeling, which you are now on, Tampa Bay Acting, which has launched but had a rough launch and isn't as up to speed as we would like, and, of course, Tampa Bay Film, which has surprised us with its popularity; it is now the fastest growing web site in our group and its size is now equal to our own, with no end in sight. Tampa Bay Film may become much larger than the rest of us by this summer, and this will be an important property. Here at Tampa Bay Modeling we are used to conflict, as we have been fighting a modeling industry war for several years now, and our experience will surely give the Tampa Bay Film staff and their allies a major advantage as they fight for change and professional growth. All of the Tampa Bay Talent sites, of course, are Raptor Class sites which are optimized for scam-fighting operations, so we are set up for fighting. Where are our sister regional modeling sites? These region-optimized mirror web sites, tentatively known as Miami Beach Modeling, Orlando Modeling, and Florida Modeling (don't bother looking up domain names on these, as some are already taken by others and the titles / domain names have not been finalized yet) are presently on hold until we can add new features to Tampa Bay Modeling and update some of our older content. We have teams of models and modeling industry professionals already assembled to work on these sites after they launch, although we are now finalizing site production protocols so our web master is not overwhelmed with work. For now these sites are on hold. Our regional modeling resource site editors, to assume their responsibilities once these modeling sites go active and launch, are as follows: Orlando Modeling - Orlando model Patricia Olson is the Editor of the Orlando Modeling site. She is a top fashion runway model from New York with a B.A. in Mass Communications. Miami Beach Modeling - Miami Beach model Maritza Gonzalez, an old friend of Danielle Cooper's, will be the Editor of the Miami Modeling web site. Maritza is a fashion model from Miami Beach, Florida, and she has worked with many modeling agencies in her career as an employee as well as a model. She is a professional booker and has headed agency divisions, such as the new faces division at a large agency. Florida Modeling - Tampa model Heidi Duran will helm the Florida Modeling web site. Heidi is a commercial print and fashion runway model with professional experience in New York, Miami, and Europe. She has worked with the top modeling agencies in the world, including Elite and Ford. As you can see, we have a lot going on here, and we are growing constantly. This spring and summer, we will be adding more features and a ton of modeling career tools and resources. We are even bringing back our Tampa Bay modeling mail bag, with Tampa Bay professional model Monica Stevens, this spring (with an improved, streamlined format so we can keep up with that and our web master can also work on mail bags for Tampa Bay Acting and Tampa Bay Film)! We look forward to the difference that we will make in the Tampa Bay modeling industry, and we're sure that all models are very excited by the potential, the possibilities, and the results of our hard work. These are truly exciting times for Tampa Bay Modeling and the Tampa Bay modeling industry!
