How I got to work with an Australian Bikini Company and Director

Storytime:
I did a photoshoot for this Sports Illustrated model over a year ago.
We became good friends and stayed in contact although we lived states away. She facetimed me one night to catch up and mentioned that she had been working with this small bikini company based in Australia. She mentioned she had came in contact with a model in Miami, FL who happened to be the director of the Bikini Company.
I jokingly said I need a bikini vendor to work with and give credit to. At the time I wasn't clear to her (my model friend) what I said but she got the message kinda (the director that is)...

I messaged Bikini Beach Australia on their social media and asked if they would like to partner with me as a remote photographer. The deal was they sent me bikins and it was my job to find women to put in them and take their photos to use for marketing (Their Marketing).

From an ecommerce standpoint the business to partner with looked promising and I was right. Luxury Bikinis as a dropship ecommerce is a niche market and money! The company is ran by creative women who are entrepreneurs, models and more.
Fast forward to now and they send me expensive pieces from their runway events which happen in France, Italy, Austrialia ad the US.
As a male photographer they like my professionalism and work ethic.

Who knew you could network all through the power of social media huh!
