    Default modeling portofolio sites

    I took the plunge and made portofolios on modelmayhem.com and onemodelplace.com . The thing is all the people have professional pictures. I uploaded some plain snapshots of me in diffrent hairstyles and angles. Now I feel like I don't belong though. I know all the modeling guides say you don't need professional pictures when your just starting out but everybody has them. Do I really need professional pictures when I'm just starting out. Mind you I don't have any experience.

    Also what other legit sites are out there besides the two I listed?

    Best thing you can do is a full body shot preferably in a swimsuit (front and back) , a head shot, and something in plain clothes. Really beware of seedy photographers on OMP (Ive read/met more there than I really care too).
    I started with some cam phone pics and some when I was out with my friends.
    www.garageglamour.com is pretty popular. Also, some port sites are more geared towards the artsy and fashion world.

    had a pretty good program there. But I think for just plain traffic, OneModelPlace has everything else beat. I'm not a huge fan of their program, but they have the age and the name recognition and familiarity going.

    Tons of models do not have professional pictures. Actually, plenty of photographers don't, either. You won't catch a fish without throwing some lures out there. All it takes is one good shoot with a responsible photographer to get you some decent photos.

    What Jay said. If you meet and the height and weight requirements, try finding a modeling agency in your city and set up an appointment. They can recommend a photog to test with. You should get enough good pics for your compcard and start working.

    OMP has a lot of what I call GWC (guys with cameras). I'm sure you'll be about to tell whos a guy wanting to see naked chicks or a professional. Don't go for too many TFPs theyre usually a waste of time unless its with a professional wanting to try a concept.

    You have to pay to get good shots. Invest in a Makeup artist too.

    Ok well I already got a response from a individual photographer who wants to do a shoot. I don't know how to prepare for this exactly. Since this is my first shoot should I ask for pay and if so how much since its my first? Also he said to bring formal wear so what exactly is that? All I have is old homecoming dresses and a very very little black dress.

    Did he specify if the shoot will be TFP/CD? If not, you should ask. Feel free to discuss what kind of formal wear you should bring. Have an open line of comunication with your photog in order to get better pictures for the both of you.

    Here is an old thread of mine on 1st shoots:

    What is your OMP number, mine is 107100. Based in PA, I'd love to shoot with you. I also run www.pinups4.com and www.makeitsexy.com - we use great model portfolos to generate model attention and also raise money for great charities.

    if you need new shoots, let me know!

    I hate it when people give you some vague description of someting they want.
    Basically, I would ask long, short, sparkly, themed etc.

    Okay I just started with the modeling thing. I signed up for modelmayhem & modelplace. I've already got a couple of possibilities off of MM. I keep trying to sign up for One Model Place & it always has an error after I add all my info. I don't know why. Is it just a problem I'm having or is there something wrong with their site right now?

    Be careful on OMP. Especially if it's a guy who wants nudes or something of that nature. There are creepy guys on there that are NUTS. I still have emails from a guy in Ohio that I told I wouldn't shoot with without references. He busted out the 'c' word and told me about how he used to be in prison, so he knew how to hurt girls and make it look like an accident. He went so far as to tell me he took info from a girl he shot and started using her S.S. number to mess up her life because she told him to get lost after he got creepy with her.

    There are alot of good people on there too, but it seems like when you are just starting the freaks come out of the woodwork.

    i wouldn't trust anyone but a human agent for modeling.

    there is no way in hades that i would meet up with an internet photographer, who could be anyone, to do shots.

    if you're serious about modeling - get an agent.
