Is this the Center of the Universe?...
Or the middle of Nowhere. I know no one comes here to visit but do you use the Quad-City Airport at all? Or can you give me the MM# to a single model from the Quad-Cities? Or is there any model willing to travel here for any reason? Dec 01 05 05:46 pm Link :::confused::: is this a casting call?? Dec 01 05 05:49 pm Link I had a guy once tell me I was the center of his universe. lol But that doesnt answer your question........ or does it?????? Dec 01 05 05:51 pm Link Isn't it Iowa where Gummo takes place? Or am I confused here? Dec 01 05 05:52 pm Link TYLER is the center of the universe. All existance that is known to mankind revolves around his backside. Maybe NOW I can get 40 images on my port...

At least, that's my view from three dimensions. Dec 01 05 06:31 pm Link If man actually measure universe from edges, then Tülcé is Center of Universe. School books all say that.

Dec 01 05 09:32 pm Link If you live in Iowa, I think you should just give up on shooting models. Stick to mountains. Oh, right.... Then the ocean! Oh, right.... Forests?

I just want to know if you are there at all. Dec 01 05 09:51 pm Link "I'm a Fashion and Physique photographer, but willing to try all kinds, looking to help models start up or fill in their portfolios." i know why its so quite for you..trees and landscapes cant email or use the phone... you certainley haven't directed your profile to fashion models...and they're the ones that might contact you..well maybe if you had the fashion and physique (i dont know what that means) images posted ...

Dec 02 05 10:23 am Link I think what's being said by more than one here is- You have photos of trees. There is not a sign of any human face or form in ANY of the shots. If they are hiding behind the trees, it's a composition problem (tongue firmly in cheek). I also do nature photography, but I don't place it here because it really doesn't help a prospective model know if I can shoot PEOPLE. Even if it is a spouse, sibling, friend...whoever....you need to show that you can photograph people well. My first photos in my portfolio were senior portraits I did for my son and a couple test shots of my wife. While both are nice-looking people, neither is a model. But the fact I could compose and expose a flattering shot gave me a bit of credibility when I first approached models on these sites. Now that I have done a couple shoots and have more scheduled, things are starting to roll for me....and central Nebraska isn't exactly a model hotbed, but there are at least some everywhere if you are patient.

To do so, you have to show that you can make good photographs of people. Your photos do not indicate this. Why was my profile denied? You should begin your portfolio by photographing your friends and family. Dec 02 05 11:44 am Link I guess not many maps have "Quad-Cities" on them. The Quad-Cities consist of... (1) Davenport, IA- (2) Betendorf, IA- (3) Moline, IL- (4) Rock Island, IL I understand what you all are saying but there is not one model that has said what you photographers are saying. No model has said I'm here but I don't see true intent in your portfolio, only you photographers nowhere near here have said "it's my portfolio". Dec 02 05 11:46 am Link The fact that we are photographers not in your area does not mean that we are wrong. Dec 02 05 11:54 am Link Jameson wrote: I am sure if you pay a model they will come to you. Dec 02 05 12:33 pm Link I live in Grand Island, NE..about 6 hours west of you on I-80. I understand the geography and mindset of this part of the country. I know there are not as many aspiring models here as on the coasts and down south....that's life. I choose where I live for other reasons than availability of models. Why aren't models answering "it's your portfolio"? They are smart enough not to burn bridges. The photographers who have replied to you, however, have nothing to gain or lose by being honest with you. Be grateful that those on here with far more talent than me are taking the time and giving you the same answer. Dec 02 05 12:37 pm Link Technically the "Center" of the universe is not here......BUT.....it is 2ft 8in 1/8 that way *points to the left ......... right about where Theda is sitting  Dec 02 05 12:50 pm Link liviamodel wrote: Nice photos....you must have a whole galaxy (guys) around you with shooting stars (guys with broken hearts) Dec 02 05 12:53 pm Link Tavuk Hantaviro wrote: What if the "Universe" has no edges? Who or what person said they found the edge of the universe? Maybe people can assume from what we know presently that we know where the universe starts or ends, but if you consider we as people do not have anything in stone stating that this is where it starts or end.

Dec 02 05 05:24 pm Link I took this picture!!  Getting all of those models onto those rocks at one time was very difficult. They kept complaining about being uncomfortable and hungry. Anyhow, who wants to work with me? Dec 02 05 05:27 pm Link Jameson wrote: Have you tried contacting them and showing them your model portfolio? Dec 02 05 05:44 pm Link Quit bitchin'. There are literally thousands of beautiful women in Iowa. Some want to be models. Hollywood is full of girls from BF Iowa, Nebraska, etc. There are no small photographers, only tiny little f-stops. If MM isn't rocking for you, try OMP by state and see who wants to shoot. By the way, simply throwing a half dozen pretty weak snapshots up shouldn't meet the requirement , either. (not likely even taken by the same guy as the nicely composed still-lifes, imho) Dec 06 05 10:02 pm Link |
