who provides a better still image??? Jan 26 06 11:52 am Link BCG wrote: Define "better." Jan 26 06 12:12 pm Link Depends on what you are looking for. Jan 26 06 12:13 pm Link Second Glance wrote: who has give you a better shoot...i have worked with all the above, and i have to say that strippers out perform in most areas...that being said, stripper shoots involve far too much drma for my weak heart to take. Jan 26 06 12:15 pm Link Depends who takes the images, right? Not to mention who is looking at it. Jan 26 06 12:15 pm Link I like the models that are stripping on the side to pay for their college (where they are majoring in drama)... Now that makes for a great shoot. Jan 26 06 12:18 pm Link I vote for dancers, but I do love Burlesque dancers, so maybe mkinda like astripper, Star Jan 26 06 12:21 pm Link BCG wrote: I've had the most FUN shoots with strippers, since they are usually uninhibited and will give anything a try. They also usually try to make things fun for all involved. Traditional agency models are usually all business, and much "drier" (for lack of a better word). "Internet models" seem to think that they are the next Pamela Anderson, and that they should be able to make $1200+/day for anything.

Models are... well, it depends what kind of model and what kind of concept. Actors... great for range of expression. Strippers... only done it a few times, one of them was homeless and an addict and hadn't had a bath in days and still the charisma was evident, the shots worked as existential portraits but were not exactly what I'd call glamorous. Jan 26 06 04:34 pm Link Brian Diaz wrote: ROTFL! Here, Here!!! Jan 26 06 04:39 pm Link Actually, none of the above, in my experience. Classically trained dancers [modern, ballet, etc.] make the best models of all. I learned photography at a college with a strong theatre arts program, and the dancers I worked with there had more felxibility, fewer issues, a better understanding of artistic concepts, more energy/stamina, and a far superior ability to take direction than any actor, model or stripper I've ever worked with. It's always been my theory that dancers have to break through so many barriers, both physical and psychological, that by the time they reach a certain level, their creativity outweighs anything else.

However, I've heard of a woman that did it to make money to move to another state and never did it again. Jan 27 06 01:43 am Link BCG wrote: I have worked with all the above too. In most cases you will give the nod to an "exotic dancer" if you are looking to do a "sexy" picture. But the BOTTOM LINE is whomoever knows how to work the camera the best. It doesn't matter what your modeling background is.... Jan 27 06 02:22 am Link Brian Diaz wrote: Pay the man! Jan 27 06 03:38 am Link Ken Mierzwa wrote: Are any posted?? if so Which ones??

Jan 27 06 04:37 am Link Brian Diaz wrote: lol...you beat me too it.... Jan 27 06 05:01 am Link Acting ability, wnergy and enthusiasm are what I look for - someone who can present a character and have fun doing it. This may be an accountant. There are lots of "actresses" who cannot act - and "models" who cannot pose - ans strippers who look like crap. Rather have an accountant with personality and enrgy than any of the above. Jan 27 06 05:18 am Link I HATE stripper profiling. Strippers come in all shapes, sizes, styles and attitudes. Just like models, actors and accountants. Jan 27 06 05:43 am Link For what I am looking for, I would say actresses provide the best images. I'm trying to get the model to convey emotions (fear, anger, sadness, helplessness) that they are really not experiencing during the shoot (most times, we're laughing and smiling a lot), so there is a lot of acting involved. Jan 27 06 07:43 am Link Actors all the way. Models come in a distant second. I avoid strippers(aka whores)... they're flakey & have mental problems.

Jan 28 06 02:23 am Link Aswad Issa wrote: Thank you. It's nice to know that when I resorted to stripping to take care of my daughters (while I was also going to college to finish my degree I might add) it automatically made me a whore. Actually at the time I wasn't having sex with anyone so whore isn't quite accurate. Am I proud of the fact that I was a stripper? Well, I'm proud of the fact that I was able to take care of two small children when my husband decided to leave me after he'd spent my last paycheck from the Army and rent was due. Life happens and people do things for a lot of different reasons. Jan 28 06 02:31 am Link I worked with one stripper. She was a piercer at a tat shop in town and I needed people with tats and piercings. She was also a stripper. The only model who I actually had to say"No, not yet, put that back on for a few more shots!" lol She was like a little baby who couldn`t stand being clothed.

Just because someone is a stripper does not mean they are whore's or have mental problems. Take a look around mental cases and whores are everywhere, not just in strip clubs.

That photo was taken when she was in the mid-west and my mate, who took it, lost track of her though he tells me she is now on the west coast somewhere but doesn't think she is dancing now. I happened to have that image from him in my comp for some edit work for his website. Jan 28 06 09:46 pm Link safiraangel wrote: Very well said. I find it ridiculous that people define others based on their hobbies, career choice etc. I guess that stereotypes make people feel knowledgable and better about themselves. As you said, different people do things for different reasons. I got into dancing long after I got into photography because I found it exhilerating and enjoyable. And no, I absolutely don't fit the "typical stripper" stereotype. (Kudos to you for taking care of your children and being a good parent and a strong woman).
