Multiple profiles?Hmmmm... I just tried joining as a photographer (in addition to being a model) as I'm a photographer, and my application was denied (I wasn't even given the chance to upload photos yet). I'm assuming this Posted

Hi Im On My Way BackSo sorry to hear about the terribly rough time you've been having but it's lovely to have you back and I'm sure many here will agree! And I do like the Alt Fashion pics you just posted from your New comer commentsHiya Courtney :) As someone who went through the process many moons ago, I'd have to say explore both routes (booking a pro and doing TF). A simple pro-shoot will give you the essentials needed What do you think?Hiya! :) I think it's a great selection of pics, and I LOVE StrongNick's photo you've currently got up as your profile pic - very eye-catching! I'd definitely recommend sticking around this site 18 year old model needs adviceAwww, thanks sunnywigan sweetie! I think Shelly should come up to the studio and play in the wardrobe. John and I have lots of new stuff that hasn't been used yet! :) xx 18 year old model needs adviceI like the trashed goth as it reminds me of a student going through Freshers week at Uni and makes me giggle. :) You must let me know if you're coming up this way Shelly so GWC A can of worms I suspect.I feel the need to very strongly agree with 2 posts here: PGPhotographic: "My understanding is that you have a photographer who is interested in photography ie. the mechanics and aesthetics of it and is constantly Multiple profiles?Haha! Yeah, I tried sending one up with another email account and had problems too, but I'm sure my knight-in-shining-armour James will help me. :) Anyway, I'm thinking there might not be many people on New Here :)I love your whole portfolio, but especially the fetishy gothy stuff (I would, though, wouldn't I?). You've got great expressions for that kind of work! :) Mature ModelsI agree with wilsy - you've got some amazing pics MrsC! :) xx Will i make it as a successfull modelI couldn't agree more with what retrotog said here: "Expect to spend some money and time setting yourself up, spend lots of time establishing yourself as punctual, reliable and polite." I know so many New Hourly Rate SectionAh stuff it, it was too tempting to try out James' new toy, haha! I suppose we can always put a note in our "about me" section explaining our rates a bit more in detail (minimum shoot times, etc.). New Hourly Rate SectionI do think the hourly rates section will be helpful for models that charge strictly according to levels and maintain the same rates per hour regardless of other factors. But it might not work quite as well for models Hello There!Hiya m'dear and welcome to Madcow - so lovely to see you here! I hope you enjoy it as it's a really lovely site. :) xx When leaving feedbackMaybe wait to see if the model makes an effort to make up for the cancellation? For example, the last (and I think only?) time I had to cancel a shoot (a year and a half ago), I made MUA or not?An MUA is a great addition to a shoot and can make for some great photos, but I'd suggest also having plenty of pics in your portfolio that were taken not using one. Reason being, on many shoots the HeyHiya Kay m'dear! Welcome to MadCow - I've been here for a few years and it's improved so much over time as James has taken over and done such a fabulous job with it. Message him with any Just added oneI think it would be great to see her looking at the camera, but as a total dog lover myself, I think the photo really captures her attitude. She's completely fixated on something off-cam, and nothing you can do Model work levels - Confusing?I definitely agree that it's very helpful (but not necessary) for photographers to send models images before the shoot if possible to explain some of the ideas/levels they have in mind for the shoot. I find it helps me Can topless/glamour models become teachers ..There shouldn't be a problem getting into social care /social work. I was a care assistant in a residential care home for a wee while a few years back while still doing my modelling. I obtained an enhanced What Is It About ScotlandAdding to what PGPhotographic said (which is completely accurate), I'm pretty sure I remember that when I joined the site a few years back (under the old ownership) it was just a place for models to host their profiles (I Togs don't like chaperones...?"I reckon any thread with "Chaperones" " No shows" "Payed shoots " text speak etc should be banned they've been done to death .." +1 Maybe a separate forum for "commonly debated topics" or Mature ModelsThat would just be derailing the thread! :P So yes, mature models... erm... I'm in favour of them. :) Mature ModelsYeah, you haven't seen the shoots I've done with other models, haha! ;) Vital statisticsHaha! I see I'm going to need to alter mine already as I'm going with the old two-tiered chest vs. bust measurements. Oh well, it'll just look like I've just had implants or something. :P Mature ModelsThanks m'dears :) Lou - that would be fun, and I might even promise to behave myself, haha! :) Vital statisticsI don't personally think weight is an important one to have in a portfolio, especially as the overall distribution of fat/muscle can alter someone's appearance to quite a degree. I think individual measurements are more accurate. Plus, if Vital statisticsSometimes I think it's an uncertainty thing - like does chest size mean underbust or overbust measurement, etc. Other times it's a website thing (I currently have my cup size selected but for some reason it doesn't appear on Mature ModelsHaha! So you're saying you've never started out a shoot with a new model by getting out your mobile phone camera, looking at it in a quizzical manner and saying "Now... how does this thing work?...?" ;) Mature ModelsI'm afraid that in my experience "mature photographer" is an oxymoron... if not completely false advertising. ;) Mature ModelsI've heard anything from 25+ to 40+ or sometimes older as being "mature". If that's the case, I've either been mature for 11 years now (yeah, people that know me can stop laughing now) or I'm still immature. LightingNo worries and thank you! As the one in front of the camera I don't technically need to know these kinds of things, but I have had photographers occasionally ask me if I know how such-and-such is done with LightingPersonally, I'm absolutely loving this thread - probably because it reminds me of the theatre lighting I did at Uni which I really enjoyed. I'm guessing there are a lot of people who could benefit from this sort of Photo theft.Unfortunately yes. It's a job hazard, but creepy and illegal. I noticed the website you linked to is an American one. I've had this happen on an American site before and found the following information Hello!Hi Paul Your photos of Willow Star are my favourites, as they make use of natural light so well. I see in your profile you've said that you don't use lighting (I assume you Hello! new to madcow!Hiya Aemilie - welcome to the site! I've been here for a couple of years and have worked with many photographers I met here on MadCow. I'd say read the safety advice James linked Hot but no workHiya! I had a look at your availability notice: "I am starting out in the model industry. have no experience but keen to learn. i am looking for paid work but will consider TFCD for DO MODELS WANT WORKHave a look at their profile page where it says when they were last online - could be they're just not active on the site (or in the industry) anymore. Even then, they should either reply with a polite Judge my photosNice pics, but maybe add one or two that don't have anything obstructing your face? All three have something (hat, glasses, hand) covering part of your face - maybe a nice, clear, well-lit shot looking straight to cam would Honest comments about portfolio appreciated You've got a great smile! I think you should put one of the smiling shots as your profile pic as I think it's a great asset. Just my opinion, but I think your personality shows in those photos,
