From the Beginning
|
In 2016, a new photographer hit the scene in Austin, Doug Douglas. He had relatively realistic expectations of the amount of work he might get as the new guy in the industry. He named his business, "Captured Me Photo" and began to aggressively search out people he could photograph. With heavy usage of social media, and a marketing strategy that called on having recognizable faces in every school in Austin becoming Captured Me Spokesmodels, his realistic expectations were dramatically off. He had become "the" photographer everyone wanted to shoot with.
In a 5 year period, Doug completed thousands of photoshoots with the general public, aspiring models, professional models, fashion designers, retail chains, boutiques, and events. In addition to the 40 or so Spokesmodels for Captured Me, he began to offer a model development program to aspiring models who wanted to break into modeling professionally. CMP Elite Models was born and quickly became a huge success. These 15 models began to have fans and followings of people globally that couldn't wait to see their next shoot. They quickly had a solid list of local, national, and international clients who were asking the CMP Elite Models to represent their brands in our shoots. TodayOut of the success of both Captured Me Photo and CMP Elite Models, DX2 was born. We represent the very best of the best models who have poise, professionalism, experience, and a proven track record of success. That's a big claim, I know, but give them a try and see if you don't agree.
Clients who have always worked with professional models have come to us over and over again saying, "Your models are the very best we have ever worked with. They are kind. They are professional. They are prepared. So easy to work with. Please become an agency!" So, we did. Our goal is not to have the largest team of models, but just to have the very best models. We believe we are doing that. We have an incredible team, and always have our eye out for the next superstar that will become part of our DX2 family. Today we have over 40 signed models between CMP Elite and DX2 Models. We continue to be published in many fashion magazines like Vogue, Elle, Maxim, and others. Some of our alumni, as well as current models, have gone on to sign with major, well-known, global agencies and are working with some of the biggest names in fashion - Gucci, Miu Miu, etc. 2021/22 Runway Calendar
