This may be dumb question, but...
...what do you call a shoot that you PAID a photographer for? That's not considered a test shoot is it? DON'T HAZE ME for bein' a newbie. :-) May 15 05 07:36 pm Link Posted by Keenan W: It's called a paid shoot? lol May 15 05 07:36 pm Link It is a test. THis is how most model testing is done, actually. TFP is another realm of reality. May 15 05 07:41 pm Link It's not necessarily a test... I shoot on private commission often. Context is everything. May 15 05 10:03 pm Link Posted by Keenan W: It's plainly a photoshoot with a professional photographer who is doing his job of getting you a professional portfolio, or headshot, or resume shot. May 15 05 10:13 pm Link Posted by Keenan W: "extremely rare" May 15 05 11:05 pm Link Okay, thanks. I guess that wraps things up. Oh, yeah! So, should I include them as "Photoshoot w/ ..." when making a model resume? May 15 05 11:16 pm Link Why should you make a model resume? May 15 05 11:30 pm Link Posted by theda: oh no..not the dreaded model resume debate May 15 05 11:32 pm Link It's pretty weird how many times I've been asked for a model resume from photographers. May 15 05 11:37 pm Link Yeah, there I go stirrin' shit up again... I have never been asked for a resume for modeling. Ever. May 15 05 11:40 pm Link Posted by CO Model Amber: Only net photographers.......a porfolio is your resume May 15 05 11:40 pm Link I would call it a commissioned shoot. May 15 05 11:40 pm Link Posted by CO Model Amber: who the f*ck cares that you worked at mcdonalds, or that you were the prom queen..or that you enjoy listen to hip hop music... May 15 05 11:43 pm Link BTW, Keenan; I looked at the photos on your profile and like those... nicely done, good job! May 15 05 11:46 pm Link portfolio shoots are often referred to as a "paid test" It's how most agencies refer to them. May 15 05 11:48 pm Link Posted by Dan Hood: Correct. There are "paid test" and there are "free test" agencies will send you to both. May 15 05 11:56 pm Link Umm I would call this - your photoshoot.... If you pay.. If I pay - it is my photoshoot. May 16 05 01:59 am Link If you're looking to do more than nudity and online photographer shoots, then keep a solid listing of your work for sure (aka, resume). Whereas you don't pass it out with your comp in the same way that an actor does with his or her headshot, there are situations where you will be glad you have it available on request. Remember that not all modeling is "sexy pictures," and there are other facets of the industry. As for shoots you pay someone to do of you, that's not resume material. May 16 05 08:42 am Link Posted by JHoward: I Agree. Did you pay some of the costs? often on a test a model pays but often not all of the costs so no or not much profit for the photographer. If you paid for the makeup artist and prints only then you did not really "pay the photographer". May 16 05 10:34 am Link Oh, okay. You've all been so helpful. Thanks. May 16 05 10:34 am Link |
