Elina Sol is Introduced by Marc Gagnon

Elina Sol is Introduced by Marc Gagnon

Elina Sol is actually a concept which Marc Gagnon Inc has registered under its corporation as a DBA. The company was working with a previous model but unfortunately did not understand the vision of photographic artist Gagnon. Hence, Marc Gagnon Inc. has chosen another model to carry the name. The model was discovered by actually three of Gagnon's models while on a college campus. The new Elina Sol is 5 foot 10 and has a strong knowledge and background of eastern cultures, philosophy and history.

Elina Sol has been quoted, "Marc, I want you to use me as your Mona Lisa."  Elina Sol is especially impressed of Gagnon's piece THE GREAT CHARTER OF FREEDOMS which is about the Magna Carta. Elina Sol recently worked on THE AMAZON WOMEN COLLAGE.

Cleopatra Project by Artist Marc Gagnon Featuring Hathor

Cleopatra Project by Artist Gagnon Featuring Hathor
By Ellen Rogers

Photographic Artist Marc Gagnon, who has been featured in magazines, newspapers, and newsletters worldwide decided to revisit the piece he created Cleopatra.  Marc Gagnon worked with Elina Sol who is an internet model working with local photographers and photography enthusiasts in South  Florida. Marc Gagnon reviewed the piece and decided a better feel to the piece. Gagnon has been quoted “you are who you are associated and I continually search for talent that will exemplify my work. I try to stay away from models off the internet as there are other activities they may do that may distract from my work or devalue it.”

Gagnon then was referred Hathor Renza  from Ginger Eisenrod who was responsible for Public Relations for Gagnon’s art piece FOR OUR TROOPS. This was the event that was held at the Coral Springs Museum of Art which was featured on NBC News.  Marc Gagnon met up with Hathor  several times and was convinced that she would be the perfect Cleopatra.  Hathor served her country in the Navy and is currently attending college for Political Science.  “Hathor has a strong background in American and World History which he exemplifies the perfect spokes model for my artwork” says Gagnon.

Hathor also has a strong art knowledge.  Her father is famed Artist and Painter .  The painter has a style close to Salvador Dali.   Coincidentally, Gagnon’s artwork, specifically his collages, was influenced by Salvador Dali. Gagnon’s people are currently working with a foundation based solely on the works of Dali and are planning a show featuring Gagnon’s artwork. One of the pieces the committee is waiting to see is the Zodiak collage which Dali had an obsession with in some of his art pieces.  The two specific art pieces that influenced Gagnon’s collage work were the DISCOVERY OF CHRISTOPHER COLUMBUS and THE ECUMENICAL COUNCIL.  Expect to see Hathor Renza on many upcoming pieces. Gagnon has been quoted “She is a distinct pleasure to work with. She is spiritual and a deep thinker.  I learned something philosophically in one sitting with her on the topic of meeting both mentors and dementors.  Dementors are people that suck the life out of you and literally can rob you of your soul. I have only met one such person in my life. “  The next piece scheduled with Hathor is the 13th Apostle.

Photographers - Where Not to Find Models

Photographers – Where not to Find Reputable Models
By Marc Gagnon

It is always difficult to find the right models for the right projects. If you also personally manage models for agencies, it is equally difficult to find quality models. Remember, models should have the following qualities:
·         Ability to take direction. Not only in front of the camera but also to take direction concerning the education of the entertainment profession, as well as pointers to behave in a top level of class.
·         Models should not indulge in behavior that can tarnish their character.  For instance, alcoholic abuse as well as drug abuse;  sex for money; other criminal behavior:  legal infractions; rude behavior to other models or their photographer / personal manager; and modeling work that is considered as low life behavior as mud wrestling, party hostess for clubs, go go dancing, website pay sites, escort services, usual court appearances, improper eating etiquette, driving while intoxicated,  general  irresponsible behavior, lying to the personal manager and others in the profession, low class behavior and associating with other low class individuals.
·         The Model should listen to the advice of their personal manager and professional photographer. If not, then what is the purpose of having one.
The worst place to find models is actually on the internet. Such sites as Craig’s List, Backpage, One Model Place, Model Mayhem, etc.   The models on these sites, but not all, are generally to be found as low class and may be involved in unethical and illegal activity.  Many of the Craigs List people are sex for hire, drug traffickers, and other activities.
Where do you find reputable models:
·         Models working in the community. If you see a person which you believe could model and if they work at a salon, you probably can bet that they are not involved in trafficking or prostitution.
·         You may see someone who is studying for course work at a local college.  Students frequent places as Starbucks and Barnes and Noble Book Stores.
·         College Campuses
·         At sporting events
·         At industry events.

Some Terrible Experiences I have encountered:
·         I met a model for breakfast at an Original Pancake House. We had a discussion and an interview. She ordered a large breakfast and then ordered one to go.
·         A model that I knew for a while was with me at a jazz event, and she ordered a bottle of champagne and drunk the whole bottle which is definitely a sign of alcoholism. I ended up firing her.  Previously, she drank two alcoholic bowls at a previous restaurants some 1 ½ hours before.
·         A model ordered $95 of food and the entire bill was $115 after a shoot.
·         A model stated to her family that I sent her to LA and left her kids for 10 days. The reality was she was on a cruise for ten days with no contact with her children.
·         A model had several court appearances and driving with a suspended license.
·         A model did not take any advice from her personal manager and did such work as Party Hostess, Internet Paid Site, Mud Wrestling, and Escort Services.
If a model is intended to be referred to a reputable agency, the personal manager should be very careful of who they refer.

Dales Tires of Fort Lauderdale Sell Me 10 Year Old Tires Almost Costs Me My Life

Dales Tires of Fort Lauderdale Sell Me 10 Year Old Tires Almost Costs Me My Life
by Marc Gagnon

Dales Tires of Fort Lauderdale sold me tires that were 10 years old. I was referred to the place by Chris Rapaport. I purchased four Continental Tires about five months ago. Evidently the tires were over 10 years old. They were manufactured on the 36th day of Year 2004. The tires were sitting on the shelf and rotting away from the inside. My mechanic noticed that the tires were splitting and they felt funny while driving on the road. All four tires were splitting. I contacted Dales Tires and the person who answered the phone said no returns. Below are pictures I took of the tires. If you value your life, do not buy tires from the company. The date the tires are manufactured can be seen on the inside of the tires. They are indicated by the number of weeks and the year to the right of the weeks. I intend on contacting State and Federal agencies concerning this. My mechancic is holding onto the tires for safekeeping. I am worried that this place may cause the deaths of mothers and children.  Please see below.

Jacques Wiesel blog on Why People do not Succeed in Life


DO NOT READ…UNLESS READY TO TAKE FULL CONTROL OF YOUR LIFE!

            As I enter my 54th year of motivation and sales training I try to come up with a common denominator which would explain human behavior, or misbehavior. After digging into history’s past, including my own I believe I have found a clue.

            This metaphor keeps popping up weekly, as I connect with new people. We are all in the driver’s seat of a huge dump truck, filled with all the NAYS in our life. These consist of the criticism we received in childhood, orchestrated by the following players:


a-Parents, who knew we would never amount to anything unless “programmed” by them, IN THEIR OWN IMAGE.

b-Environment…including our families, friends et al, who also professed to “help” us with their “WHAT I’M ABOUT TO TELL YOU IS FOR YOUR OWN GOOD!” tirades.

c-Teachers, too few of them memorable for understanding that “educare” means to draw forth from within, not shovel into like a bottomless pit.

d-Organized Religion, wherein we are trained to salivate, Pavlovian-style, the prayers for the day.

e-finally, ADVERTISING…arguably the worst attack on our minds, always making us feel inferior if we don’t align ourselves with their  3-letter mantra : “BUY… BUY!”

Covering this truck full of NEGATIVES is the ever-present enemy of personal growth, GUILT!

(To be continued).





Sureya La Fuerza

Sureya La Fuerza




Sureya La Fuerza is a model currently living in Pompano Beach, Florida. She recently moved from Charleston SC where she went to College of Charleston. She was referred to Marc Gagnon Inc. by Natalia Warner. Marc began working with her in the Charleston area and also began making trips to NH and Florida to complete her portfolio.


She is extremely professional and the name that she uses is a stage name. The name means brilliance guided by the force. Marc has created a logo of her which is shown below. Sureya has strong abilities in business which makes her an asset to the entertainment field as she does not see herself as the center of the universe.


She has been quoted saying "My Personal Manager has been doing this for 32 year; why would I want to challenge him. Wouldn't that be pretty stupid?" She has already seen Eva St. Laurent, Heather James and Susan Gidley placed with top agencies in NY. Marissa Ashton is almost there on a specific comic book and film project. She is staying with Brenda Shires and Marissa. She says she feels like she is staying in kind of an art community.


Expect to see her everywhere.
