    then why not make a local ad? why get on here and ask us?

    are you going to pay for our airfare???

    if i have to pay to go somewhere for photos i'd be calling jay zeno in a heartbeat. not calling you stringcheese. maybe you should try to be a member on the site with some input, not 2 posts trying to schmooze us into getting naked for you.

    Try onemodelplace.com Oh, and have a website that shows your work, so girls will be able to see if they're interested in working with you.

    But some random guy coming on a stripper board asking us to take nudie pictures for him? Sorry, babe. No one's going to bite.

    Yall are brutal, I suppose thats good though.

    I admit to not being active, in fact rarely visit only when reminded to by an email or what not after being told to check the site out in the first place, but as a photographer this thread caught my eye and Ill be a positive example. (though this is open to any interested)

    ^ better, yes. but....not worth paying for. For a newbie model starting out, TFCD. Sorry. Photographers worth paying for portfolios are very very few and far between. Espicially when exceptionally talented ones are willing to do TFCD. I've met 1 photog. I would be willing to pay for images and he has extensive credits and connections. a shoot that would drasticially benefit my career. UNfortunatly...he is also very very busy and I cant seem to nail down a date

    I wont open the can of worms that is the age old debate of "Who pays, the model or the photographer" only to say that, if someone wants it bad enough, they will pay, if its a wash, sure TFCD is always an option, but its only fairly recent that models have come to expect to be paid the majority of the time.

    That being said, I have never had an issue not getting paid when I am shooting something to benefit someone else that may not exactly be on my list of "needs or omg I HAVE to shoot with that person" like wise I have worked with people who I have no issue standing behind the fact that its worth it for someone to dish out the cash to work with them.

    I am not above TFCD, I still do a few every month, especially if its something I see benefiting my folios legitimately or gets my foot in the door somewhere. The same goes for those on the other side of the lens, IMO.

    Nah, I dont expect to be paid all of the time. If a shoot is mutually beneficial, I will do TFCD. Id the shoot is only beneficial to me, and I really want it, I'll pay. But if the photog. wants to shoot with me and his work is a step down for me, or it will not benefit my port, I expect paid, as I'm not into doing favors, ya know?
    I do about 95% paid work and 5% TFCD thses days..but that's after a year of all TFCD while building a portfolio and experience that warrented my being paid. I get paid to model because my images get results. I would expect the same from a photographer I was paying. An investment that returned profit to me.

    All I was saying was that your portfolio doesn't stand out to me. If I paid you to shoot, it wouldnt benefit me. It wouldnt help me get more paid work. It just doesn't stand out. And without outstanding credits, it's kinda pointless, ya know? If I were able to say I shot with so and so, who has appeared in ___, that gives me a good reference. That might be worth paying for as it would potentially result in income for me. But why pay if I get nothign in return except more pretty pictures? I got handfuls of those for free all ready. I need somethign unique. somethign that really adds to a port.

    And this goes for all models. And a newbie starting out can find TFCD with good photogs. while she builds experience to help get better gigs and betetr photographers interested in shooting with her, for TFCD or pay, whatever.

    Ok, so we agree... LOL

    Im not superstar yet, I dont claim to be, I am very much still in a growing phase of my photography career as its not my primary career, but I very much get results and as far as insuring those I shoot with advance their career, I have a pretty solid "batting average" despite not being a industry known name yet.

    Having been shooting as long as I have, I do have decent credits, references, and accomplishments, are there better, sure, but I consider myself pretty far from bottom barrel, ya know?

    Anyway, its all what your looking for and what benefits YOU and how much thats worth to you, goes for both parties on either side of the lens. That pretty much sums it up... Your last statements are completely right though, thats how it should work.

    Small note: Photoshop, like daily makeup, shouldn't be noticeable.

    Agreed. Nor relied on. I'm a little tired of hearing, "You can Photoshop that, right?" Photoshop takes time. The idea is to set it up and have it right so you minimize your editing time.

    ^ Oh god yes. I shot with another model once who actually wore dirty, staind and torn panties. They were frayed and had threads loose everywhere. The photographer kindly asked her to change them and she said what? You can fix it in photoshop

    Then again, I had a photographer who had a dirty lens and didnt bother to clean it because he could fix it later. I suggested he take a few second to clean it because I prefer unedited images. I like my photos as untouched as possible, with the exception of one mole on my face being removed.

    It depends what I am shooting, generally speaking I do photoshop a bit, though quite a bit less then I used to... I have been known to be quite heavy handed in the past though...

    As far as the taking XX pounds off or changing clothing, it isnt happening unless your making my bank account really happy, though I must say Ive had some interesting requests, heh

    I'm referring to the glowing effects and outlines and fake backgrounds your images have.

    Kinda curious what images your referring to specifically, but I will say this... NONE of my backrounds are fake or have been photo shopped in...

    I tend to have an artsic flare in some of my work, but shooting cookie cutter clean images, is also not an issue, just not something Ive focused a lot on.

    My work is just that, MINE, I have not taken someone elses work and made it my own just so I am shooting whats popular at the moment, I have the diversity to shoot spec regarding just about anything, and am completely comfortable that not everyones going to like all of it(or specifically what I like, because thats what I tend to put out there)

    Example:
    Almost stright out of camera with sepia effect(published print ad):


    Portfolio Headshot w/ beauty centric post:


    Same portfolio development shoot as above, quite a few prints sold, one of my favorite images shot that hangs on my wall, webzine/modeling promotions site published:



    So again, to each their own, Im quite happy where Im sitting at the moment, having been shooting for only a year to the month. Will I develop and clean up my style in years to come... ya sure, probably will, but right now I recognize I am ahead of the curve and that I have no issues making money with what Im doing, which is what matters in the end, yes?
