As Peter points out, the likes of hand models particularly need top quality reproduction, as do photographers. "After spending hours lighting a picture perfectly, orange skin tones are just not good enough," he says.
Because their looks change so rapidly, child models are yet another section of the industry who have welcomed the 'Go-See'® card, because they never did need 1000 copies. "It is much better for beginners to update their card regularly than to print 500-1000 cards and throw half of them away," Peter says, making a faint gesture with one hand. "That is a waste of money."
Trying to obtain the quality they now have was agonizing, and not without some strange results. However, more and more photographers are now putting their trust in them, and that has to be the highest accolade of all!
"All in all I think I have succeeded in solving an important and major problem for the photographic and modelling professions," says Peter. "In the two years since I started we've changed the equipment several times and invested a lot of money which we don't expect to recover for quite some time. But we do believe that 'Go-See'® cards are here to stay and have been internationally welcomed by the industry. Many clients have been so pleased with them that they have switched over to using them almost exclusively."
Over the past 25 years Peter Marlowe has made an outstanding contribution to the modelling business. As a student back in the sixties he devised the first ever 'composite', and by 1970 he was producing headsheets and books for all the major European agencies.
"After all these years we're still dedicated to improving the industry by providing better services and original ideas," he says. "And to come up with something like this is really exciting."
