Let me point out again, if you want help from a Big Buddy, you must select one from those who have offered to help and ask for it by copying the form AND SENDING IT TO THE SPECIFIC BIG BUDDY via PM.  Big Buddies are not permitted to solicit Little Buddies.

I am welling to help with Posing, Moves, and the most difficult aspect of modeling, Hand Placement. I will also show you how to give the photog more posing opportunities. How to gracefully move from one pose to another.

Welling to help with Profile writing and editing to come across as a pro, will also help with your portfolio as far as what pictures to keep and what to delete.

I will show you how to get the most out of MM and how to get the necessary exposure within the comunity.

If my schedule allows, I might offer a free shooting session with edited pictures.

Mods:

Not everyone know about forums, not every new model knows about this post.

It would be great service to the community to:

1) send link to this post to every model that signs up.

2) send it to every model that signed with MM over the past 3~6 month (one time deal on the part of MM)

Hi!  My name's Kimberly (Penumbra Photography),

I’m a Freelance Photographer and I’d like to be a Big Buddy to help a newbie get started.  I’d be especially helpful in terms of things like: Studio photography, Lighting techniques and styles, the what and how of post work, Creativity, gathering materials and ideas for a shoot, getting a team together, how to approach models, and some basic information on approaching an agency.

To check out my portfolio and contact me just type my MM number: 2380988 in the box in the upper right hand corner of your screen and send me a private message.

I've been working with a local agency, so I have a bit of knowledge to share in regards to photographers approaching agencies. I am also a purely trade photographer, so I don't get paid, nor do I pay my team, so I can help others who are interested in learning how I set up shoots without offering monetary gain. I've been shooting for about 6 years, so I have a bit of knowledge to share in regards to getting comfortable with your camera and lights, as well as setting up a home studio. I have a good relationship with all of my models and I can shed a lot of light on the subject of approaching models and how to make them feel as comfortable as possible at a shoot, as well as giving directions and posing models. Feel free to contact me any time with questions, and if you are local, I am always open to one on one training sessions.

Makeup. I can do decent makeup but id LOVE to learn a bit more to do better with more normal looks, rather than just fantasy type stuff. I wing it when it comes to using my makeup and dont really know much about it. Id like to learn how to contour and other such things. I think itd REALLY help with the quality of my looks. Especially since there arent as many MUA's in my area that can do what id like with the fantasy looks.

Its june 19, 2016, i don't see any current big buddy posting. i would not mind getting some help from a big buddy, but i am not sure if the ones who have posted a few months/years ago are still interested, or overwhelmed by requests to become big buddies for individuals.

i guess i could go spam 5 a day, and see who responds.

another thing i can do is request anyone reading this, if you want to be a "REALLY BIG BUDDY" can you please post to this forum and i can send you a request to be my Buddy. (as per the rules of this thread, feel sorry for Ray Fine Art)

i'm sorry, pardon my rudeness, did i forget to say "HELLO EVERYONE!!"
