Survey FOR ALL MODELS here...
who would you rather shoot (a) a photographer who has extensively exhibited his work in galleries OR (b) a photographer whose work has been published in LOCAL, in-state, magazines? Just curious.... Ok, Addendum here.., BOTH photographers have high quality photos. Feb 13 06 09:45 am Link if not both...magazines Feb 13 06 09:46 am Link I would shot with whoever has the better quality photos Feb 13 06 09:47 am Link I am an art model, so the gallery possibility would probably do me more good. This, however, sounds like a question prompted by an event, which makes me leery of answering. Is there an agenda motivating this thread? Feb 13 06 09:57 am Link I surely wouldn't turn down the opportunity with either. It's hard to pick between the two.

If the model is an art model, like Shyly, then I would expect that the photographer who has had his work in galleries would be more appealing. Also, the local magazine thing varies, as in some states, the local magazines are more upscale and fashion-oriented than others. I would be more prone to work with the photographer who has the better work, and can help add something to my book that will make the shoot worth doing. If the gallery/art photographer can get me tears and/or paid work, then I would shoot with him. If the photographer that works locally could get me paid work/tears, etc...then I would work with him. If it is an either/or situation, though, I would honestly shoot with the photographer whose work is hanging in the galleries, because that would be more promising for me. Feb 13 06 10:33 am Link Hmmm....... I would go with the art gallery.... Who knows his work might become highly famous or in high demand (very pricey) and then we can both make a lot of money on future projects. :-) But then again I LOVE art museums and would be absolutely ecstatic to see a picture of myself hanging in one! Feb 13 06 10:41 am Link Either. Photographer B might have the potential to get more wide-spread gallery exposure, and Photographer A might be too 'yesterday' and never show again. Either way, if they've both got great material, I see no qualms in shooting with either one or even both. Feb 13 06 11:00 am Link That's a tough decision... both would be good. If I only get to choose one though... hmm... I'd have to go with letter a! Feb 13 06 12:02 pm Link It depends on the quality of images and the type of work, I guess. However, I would prefer a published photographer. Magazines are great exposure, but galleries are also great. So, I guess both. Feb 13 06 12:06 pm Link whoever pays more...

Feb 13 06 01:48 pm Link yea i think its a pointless q.. all depends on the work, and WHICH galleries, and which magazines Feb 13 06 01:51 pm Link I would shoot with who ever has the best quality and style that fits me and where I want to go. If they're published that's great but I've seen some crap photographers published so it doesn't really mean a whole lot to me. Art galleries are alright, at least it shows they're creative.
