May 20 06 04:42 pm Link Oh yeah, and I find them easier to work with because things aren't handed to them on a silver plater, they have better personalities and usually more intelligence.

LOL...j/k May 20 06 05:39 pm Link I like the fact that good things come in small packages:) please see samples of my work at onemodelplace.com/edsphoto1 thanks.

May 20 06 11:15 pm Link pegasusmaiden wrote: Shall I draw you a picture? May 21 06 12:49 am Link A lot like laptops vs. desktop computers, they're easier to carry around to shoots. Generally eat less too. May 21 06 12:54 am Link JT Hodges wrote: This and the cute post hit the nail on the head for me. May 21 06 01:01 am Link Try not to use them for river shots; you may never see them again! May 21 06 01:03 am Link haha as a short model, I am totalllllllllllllllllllllllllllllllly in love with this forum. We all so rock ;-D May 21 06 01:04 am Link LOL..I'm loving this thread! We are fun and fabulous! May 21 06 01:11 am Link Collin J. Rae wrote: Yes, indeedy! We still need to shoot one of these days... May 21 06 02:05 am Link aww thank you so much for this post! It's nice to know we little people are loved...too bad it's so damn hard to get signed on with an agency though. Half of them won't even look at us unless we're atleast 5'6.

My "studio" is not big and I try to use my 85 when I can. -Jose May 21 06 11:15 am Link megafunk wrote: or take a picture. heehee :F May 21 06 11:35 pm Link They are very good for location shoots; you can toss them over a fence!

May 22 06 01:25 pm Link I have found some models that are about 5'4 and are all, "I'm the worlds next Super Star Model". But most of them just love to have great pictures of them and it is like a hobby. Sort of the, "If I can't do it for a living, I will do it for my own enjoyment" attitude. These types tend to be more fun to work with. They don't constantly look at their watches. They are will to try new ideas and even come up with one or two really cool ideas of their own. May 22 06 01:33 pm Link The only thing I DON'T like about short models is that I can't seem to find any in my area. Must be doing something wrong. May 22 06 01:36 pm Link it's so adorable watching them climb up on a pile of phone books to see the images on the computer. May 22 06 04:44 pm Link Much more energy and often totally fearless, not scared of bringing their own quirky humour to a shot. It's also fun watching them trying to get their ID above the bar top if we decide to relax with a beer later. Terry PS.I shoot the tall ones too to remind me what it feels like to be intimidated  May 22 06 04:53 pm Link They're easier for me to do touch-ups on b/c I am short myself. Those poor tall girls need to bend over a bit for me to retouch their lipgloss! May 22 06 04:58 pm Link John Allen wrote: Been there . . . (Oh hell, I still am.)

May 22 06 05:39 pm Link megafunk wrote: oh my ; ) May 22 06 05:43 pm Link So, if models under 5'9 are considered short by industry standards (and that *other* post eliminates models under 5'9 from responding), but this post only considers models 5'2" and shorter as short... where does that leave those of us in the middle? Is there a post for models 5'3" to 5'8" around here? lol. I can't get a break! I'm either too short, or not short enough! =-P Yes, I'm a whopping 5'4"... too tall to fit in your pocket, but hopefully still cute enough to shoot! lol. May 22 06 06:39 pm Link Frisson wrote: You got that right!!! May 22 06 07:01 pm Link 1. On Internet, models of any size can be any size they want to be 2. Lying down, all models are about the same height 3. Small & petite = cute and huggable. That's not a disadvantage 4. I don't have to stand on a bucket to look through my lens at eye level 5. Beauty comes from the inside out. Attitude is more important than altitude, and most other things. Anyone who's nice with a friendly disposition has a beautiful side.

Thanks!May 22 06 10:51 pm Link Iâve been buying wardrobe for the models Iâve been shooting with and we can shop in the childrenâs department at times and the cost of clothing is much less then the adult sizes. Granted some of the styles are not what they could be, but more times then not, the thrift stores will have designer clothing in small/petite and extra small sizes that donât sell as easily as the larger sizes and I end up scoring. This is not without itâs drawbacks, I bought a cute retro dress off of eBay a few weeks ago thinking it would fit Lucy who is 5â-0â?/102 lbs, the dress is a 4/P and was 2 sizes too big for Lucy so I had another model wear it at the last network meeting https://modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pic_id=446b52761e16b Bottom line, I really like shorter models. May 22 06 11:16 pm Link the model I worked with last says she's 5'2" but I am not even sure she's five foot. I love working with her but she bitched alot when I used her as an armrest May 22 06 11:21 pm Link JackDouglas wrote: lol i would think so! May 22 06 11:34 pm Link |
