Just to say thank you, and we appreciate it.

I guess this thread is a knock off of the "hottest photographer" thread...

but it is not to say who you think is hot, but just to say thank you.

Many photographers feel used and abused in the industry, and I just want to let them know that some I us TRULY appreciate their efforts.

So, thanks! We love you!

Kisses!

edit: I don't think I've ever walked away from a set and didn't feel the need to say thank you.

Thanks Angel; we all appreciate it. But I also must say I really appreciate the models and makeup artists I'd had the pleasure of working with. It just wouldn't be the same without you! wink

LOL, I'm going to go with sweet. smile

I'm just tired of the negativity. And after reading threads about photographers' expenses, and flakes, etc, it occured to me that alot of photographers feel as though we models do not respect them and their work.

But....we do!

So, where's the love??? smile

Angel Tara - you are truly a class act. Your beauty knows no bounds - not just physical. Models like you keep us all inspired.

Can we thank people we have never worked with but just love their style or does it have to be only people you have worked with?

Just in case I want to say thanks to all the people I have worked with, Thank you because with out you none of this would be possible...lol

Ummm, I guess theoretically you can thank anyone, because chances are you may be thanking them for something that the model, client, art director, etc, did not.

Mmmm, I dunno. Sticky subject. If the thread gets alot of responses, we will see what other people think.

But it has to be something you TRULY appreciate. Like, it moves you. Not just "oh, those are great pics and if I had some I'd get more work, so thank you." LMAO

Well, heck, I'm not a model (well, not really I mean like, not lately but... nevermind, it's complicated) but I'm not too proud to tell another photographer thanks.


Thanks, Leo.  Though your wisdom isn't directed my way, I still listen and pick up quite a bit.

Thanks, Don.  For the laughs.  For the booze.  For the advice.  For the direction.

Thanks, Greg.  For the contacts.  For the insight.  For the upcoming collaborative efforts.  I might just sit still in front of your camera before you go to LA.  But I have to keep my clothes on...

Thanks Anthony and Marko for answering my dumb questions.

And thank you to a ton of other shooters who have inspiring imagery and hilarious comments.

Unfortunately, the photographer from this site that I'd like to thank the most was only a member here briefly, but I can tell him "thanks" directly.


That said, don't expect me to say anything else nice about you fuckers for the rest of the year...

Nonono, that's not it at all.  I was saying that you aren't funny and you're too cheap to provide booze.  That's a not-so-subtle difference. 

:::snicker:::

Just kidding.  You'll have to prove that one wrong should you ever get out this way or if I ever make it out to Washington.  I got the chance to meet Don and we hung out and had drinks etc.  Though I will have to say that the statement I made was an inaccurate account.  I paid for drinks and Don picked up the tab on food...

You must have not read my thread 2 days ago....called "attn models:photg expenses cont.."   
Letting the photogs know that not ALL models are abusive and demanding. Some still understand the need for true talent and appreciate all the hard work.

I'm definitely appreciative of the professional photographers, MUAs, stylists, and designers that I've had the pleasure to work with...without them, my images would suck.  tongue

I don't think there has ever been a photographer that has seen you walk off the set and NOT felt the need to say thank YOU!!!!  You're stunning, Angel!
