    Default first inbox on Onemodelplace.com! ???

    I made a profile on onemodelplace.com and have only put up one photo since this morning when I made it. I have already been contacted by a photog asking "

    Hi nichole,

    Do you have a rate for artistic nudes, 1/2 day? Travel would be covered.

    YT,

    Marc


    I never thought of rates.
    BTW....i checked his profile and he was recommended by several models...looks alright to me.
    I dont know what to say

    I looked at his other photos and I dont see any other 'artistic nude' shots...only sports fitness stuff. Why me for AN?

    Another msg. from someone else reads :
    Hi nichole,

    Welcome to OMP. My name is Bruce Berman. I am a commercial photographer based out of Boca Raton.

    Would you consider doing a TFCD artistic shoot just for the fun of it. I will supply you with a CD of everything we shoot for your unrestricted use. I would like to include fashion, casual, glamour, lingerie and artistic nudes in the shoot. I will fly you down here for a weekend.

    Please review my work here on OMP and at .

    I hope to hear from you soon. You may contact me direct at anytime at [email protected] or *** *** **** to further discuss.

    Regards,

    BGB

    I'd be a bit wary of anyone who offered to fly you down. You are a brand new model and esp the one guy who isnt even paying....could be a GWC(guy with camera) and creepy....with all the models here..why would he go to the expense to fly down someone who has no experience?



    If it sounds too good to be true...it probably is.

    Unfortunately, as a new model (aka. fresh meat) on a net modeling site you are going to be bombarded by "offers" for tfp/cd in the coming days/weeks. Most of them will come from those GWC types that Cameron mentioned who figure they can get an inexperienced model to take their clothes off in order to "build a portfolio" or gain experience in the industry, and they send e-mails en masse to all new blood on the site. The best advice I can offer is to be extremely selective with whom you work...always read the model release and ask questions about anything you don't understand. I'm sure you are a smart girl...just don't let anyone manipulate you, and you'll be fine I am actually a photographer, and occasionally use a net modeling site for my own portfolio development projects so feel free to PM me if you want to ask any questions at all.
    Stripping was my Mr. Big....the best bad relationship I ever had.

    Another suggestion: most of the legit glamour photographers post on forums. That doesn't guarantee they aren't creeps, but it gives you a chance to see and learn more about them before you make a trip, and it gives you more quality lensmen to contact as well. Ask the men who email you what forums or boards they post on so you can learn more about the biz, (don't say it's to check up on them ). You'll also see other glamour models who you can ask for references and advice as well (just beware of the jealous ones). Sorry I don't have a link for you, maybe I'll find one later.

    be VERY wary, please.

    cameron's right... nutjobs are most likely writing you at this time.

    be careful!

    ^^Agreed. When I first joined OMP a couple years ago, every weirdo for 1000 miles wrote to me. I literally had to toss out at least half of the messages I got because they were just random dudes wanting to take pictures of me naked. *shudder*

    Be VERY careful on OMP!! It is mostly creeps and scams.

    For perspective, I am an experienced glamour model and have a portfolio on OMP. My very good photographer friend, who is absolutely AWESOME, is listed as my "manager" and screens the messages for me. Out of ALL the offers I get.. he usually only forwards one or two to me. Seriously - most everything on that website is CRAP! Model Mayhem is even worse.. dont sign up there lol.

    If you really want to get started.. I suggest finding a high quality and reputable photographer in your area, one that YOU pay... someone whos work youve admired from afar Thats how I got started.. now he shoots me for free because I'm one of his favorites, and he has gotten me some great paid work and opportunities through his clients. I dont even bother with the portfolio sites or finding paid work on my own.

    I'm not really sure about the florida area.. but I know of one or two excellent photographers that you might be interested in looking into if you want.

    ^ Well, since your bumping up all very old modeling threads....
    You've comfused me.

    You said this here:

    Be VERY careful on OMP!! It is mostly creeps and scams
    But this in the other thread you bumped:

    uhh...so which is it?
    In one post you said OMP was creeps and scams. In the other thread you said MM was the creeps, go with OMP.

    Yeah, I wanna know which is correct, too, because I will be signing up on OMP, but I'm waiting to get more pics and will be getting the Gold Membership or higher.

    I have a membership at OMP. And yes, your smart to wait until youhave the pics, and here's why:
    When you sign up, photog's mailboxes will be flooded with new model membership. That's why you get so flooded with offers at first. The better your pics are when this happens, the better work offers your gonna get.

    ANyway, I'm on OMP and MM, and I've gotten work from both sites, they both have their pro's and con's.
    I haven't run into any creeps on either site, but that's because if an offer doesn't look right to me, I delete it off the bat.
    bad grammer I delete right away as well as any porn offers. then I look at their port. and if it sucks I delete the email also. That weeds them out pretty quickly.
    Then I send the remaining people a form letter askign for more details. I've posted this letter before here. The ones that responded were usually all pretty sound leads, so I would go from there.

    A lot of this stuff I probably repeated, but whatever

    good luck.

    Whoops! Sorry, didn't notice it was old.

    And sorry for confusion.. they are both awful and full of scammers... but model mayhem is like WAY worse with that.. Thats just what the topic was in the other thread so i was commenting on MM there. If your going to be on one of the two your alot safer going with omp since photographers have to pay at minimum $10 to join but still you need to be very wary!!

    Xiomara- are you still looking for work on OMP? If you are, I would love to give you some advice. I did a few shoots with photographers I met on OMP.
