fake tears/mock ads/
gross! Don't do that. Jan 10 06 02:32 pm Link I agree. I see so many fakes. I am usually like " Oh cmon, like you were actually in FHM/Playboy and happened to get the cover last month." Jan 10 06 02:35 pm Link seconded. Jan 10 06 02:35 pm Link It's just as bad when they admit that it's fake. It's like, come on, what's the point?? Jan 10 06 02:38 pm Link Who did it??? Jan 10 06 02:54 pm Link It also reminds me of when you would go to the theme park and that photo booth that had all sorts of magazine covers they could superimpose over your face superimposed over a models body,lol. Jan 10 06 02:56 pm Link lol- I've seen some impressive fakes ads ! Jan 10 06 03:00 pm Link Hahahaha They had that in one of those Hotels on the strip in Vegas, with all the mag covers, and there was a damn Line of people waiting for pics.......? Jan 10 06 03:01 pm Link Monsante Bey wrote: Nope...not telling! Jan 10 06 04:18 pm Link Quite sad. Jan 10 06 05:38 pm Link I'll admit I have done it but only for clients who request it. I know it sound corny but hey they paid for it. I know what you mean about the line in Vegas I was tempted to do it our State fair. Quick easy money.. thats all. I don't knock anything that pays the bills. Jan 10 06 05:43 pm Link Dan Gallegos wrote: But did you post it in your portfolio?? Jan 10 06 06:29 pm Link I have real ads and tear sheets. The problem is that they are boring! (I do a lot of product photography.) Nice new pics, Ms. Tara. Jan 10 06 07:15 pm Link Agreed! Motion carries over for a vote by the full House... ; ) -T- Jan 10 06 07:55 pm Link they can be found all over Model Mayham...I'm not going to out anyone but here are som handy dandy tips to finding fakes  1)The model in the ad looks like a web model 2) professional makeup and styling are not evident 3) the portfolio is full of mostly crap....5 TFPs and a Dior ad. 4) The photographer has an ad for Guess, MAC, etc and they are posting about TFP. 5) The photographer is strangly quiet about his great tear...no mention of who did what on the ad, he is silent when asked specific questions about the ad...like "wow, who did makeup on that" he just fails to reply. Jan 10 06 08:38 pm Link *vent* This rates close to your local shooters who shoot for 'magazines' that never appear in actual PRINT (just some internet.com site). And when you inquire about their publisher and such, you get snubbed as "hating" or trying to horn in on their great opportunity.. Models.. That is NOT A TEAR SHEET. A tear sheet is just simply that. If you goto a newspaper stand (or a PRINTED magazine, calander, etc), and can buy it and rip a page out of it.. THAT is a tear sheet! *end vent* Jan 10 06 08:49 pm Link Lund Photography wrote: Oooh you beat me to it! I'm sick of that misconception. It wouldn't be called a tear if you couldn't tear it. Printing a screen shot of the website doesn't count either. Jan 10 06 11:17 pm Link Andrea Savvides wrote: Sometimes terminology needs changing. Naomi Jay was in an ad on AIM Today for Voice over IP, is it less valid because it's online? Jan 11 06 05:16 am Link A very odd trend... I don't get it. Jan 11 06 05:33 am Link Andrea Savvides wrote: I'm extremely sick of it too! "It wouldn't be called a tear if you couldn't tear it" - haha, that's perfectly said.... Jan 11 06 05:50 am Link And this is why web models get a bad name. Jan 11 06 06:56 am Link Monsante Bey wrote: As well as web photographers. I've seen a lot more crappy photographers put them in their portfolios than crappy models. Jan 11 06 07:02 am Link Mary wrote: This is one of my pet peeves here... Jan 11 06 05:23 pm Link Brian Diaz wrote: oh hell naw. lol Jan 11 06 05:30 pm Link One thing that I've noticed on the mayhem is model as well as photographers that list the work they've done and ads they've done, but have nothing to show for it. Especially, big ad companies, and when you click to see their portfolio all you see is a bunch of TFPs and barely to no ads. Sad but true. Jan 12 06 08:13 am Link this is too funny Jan 12 06 08:16 am Link I agree with Lund...I have seen many people post a website saying that is a tear...it is not! If a model wants to post an accomplishment like that it is considered a "Feature" or could be part of a website "Contest." A tearsheet is something physical in hand that you can tear from something. Hence "Tear Sheet." Donna Jan 12 06 12:27 pm Link I do a lot of "Promotional Modeling" around the Chicago area for a Promotional Company. Since MM is limited to each person's space means I cannot post my Event paperwork to show the work I have done. The most important thing a model can do is keep all the documentation for the stuff she has done or tearsheets she is in...I keep a nice folder of such stuff and do actually have a 2006 calendar in there showing me on the cover and in the months March, and September in case somebody want to see such proof...for more modeling work. That is the most important thing. Donna :-D Jan 12 06 12:34 pm Link haha I definitely thought you meant fakes TEARS (like crying) and couldn't understand why you'd associate that with a mock ad. I was about to say, "hey! what about Man Ray" and then I realised what you guys were really referring to! I don't get why models would use fake pictures or use someone else's pictures. I mean, honestly, if you get hired based on being someone else, what are you going to do when you've been asked to do an ad and you're not the same as the person in your pictures! Even a regular photo shoot or TFP shoot would be just as bad. I could see why photographers would do that, especially if they were a flake. That's one reason why I have a standard as to what kind of photographer I won't work with, which revolves greatly around his work, picture quality (I wont even think about it if it's grainy, or resembles a web cam), and his attitude. I HATE it when photographers try to act really pushy with you and then tell you that they have plenty of other models to choose from, when they really don't, although that's a different topic all together. Jan 12 06 09:37 pm Link If you are sad enough to put fake tears on your website, how are we supposed to know that anything on your site is real???? Jan 12 06 09:50 pm Link Taboomodel wrote: Mostly, yes. Galley proofs are also tears. A couple of my models did screen captures from Nerve.Com and Stern.De and called them tears, too. Whatever makes them happy, as long as it's real. Jan 12 06 10:05 pm Link This is a little off subject but my personal favorite is when a model puts "Hooters Girl" under credits. Eric Foltz Jan 12 06 10:10 pm Link I was working with a model who wanted a shot where she was crying. I used glycerin to put some fake tears on her cheeks with an eye dropper. Jan 13 06 10:12 pm Link Bill Gunter wrote: I usually just make her cry naturally. It's a talent... Jan 13 06 11:26 pm Link I find it ill and completely a telltale that the creator is a fraud! Funny enough... there is a major known photographer here that has in the past used a FAKE "Vogue Australia" cover to promote themself... as well they constantly bloat images shot of stars for little jobs as if they were booked for something major! And more... they even have a "MOCKED UP" hair/cosmetics "add" in their portfolio now! LOL!!! Image sells... even if it is bogus. The bigger the lie... the more people will believe!!!
