Photographers only....
Simple little question. Would you pose for a shoot? TiM Yes I know all you model do it as your business, just thinking about turning the tables. Jun 29 06 01:11 pm Link Who is that disparate for a 50 year old, over weight (FAT) bald man? I don't mind my picture being taken, but who'd want too? Jun 29 06 01:21 pm Link yea why not--there is creativity in being a model. of course, all depends on a photographer and type of shoot--i'll stay away from the usual maxim style men with a digital dependence. Jun 29 06 01:23 pm Link Sure, had to do it for friends all the time in school. It's kinda fun. Jun 29 06 01:23 pm Link I would take a picture of a 50 year old bald fat man. Not that the general public would lap it up, I just think that photographic expression can be a should be broader than it is normally defined. Its funny that "Edgy" usually only has one of those elements not all three. We could break real ground here  Jun 29 06 01:25 pm Link I have for headshots. I'm also scheduled to shoot with Bob Randall July 15 for his "Restrictions" project... If people are wondering: the shoot is artistic nude and the reason I'm doing it is to understand the gamut of feelings a person goes through when they pose nude for the camera...

To answer your question though, if there was some compelling reason someone wanted me in front of the lens instead of behind it, then, who am I do deny them. lol.

Jun 29 06 01:26 pm Link Oh and I have no problem modeling, clothed or otherwise... I have been a figure model for life drawing. Jun 29 06 01:27 pm Link Rich Mohr wrote: Same guy I mentioned in post before, and for the same reasons mentioned by another photographer when it comes to what 'edgy' truly means. IMO, a true photographer is interested in shooting everything, and if s/he specializes in people, everybody. It is only a certain segment of the photographer population who limites themselves to young beautiful thin women. Jun 29 06 01:28 pm Link Yes, i would do it. But it also depends on what the photographer is looking for. I've done it for other photographers and for myself. Jun 29 06 01:29 pm Link Would I get a blindfold and cigarette? Jun 29 06 01:29 pm Link I'd do it, no doubt. Jun 29 06 01:31 pm Link I have posed for other photographer friends. I do self portraits all the time. Jun 29 06 01:31 pm Link More of me goes into my shots than the subject half the time.. Getting in front of the camera physically would be overkill.

Jun 29 06 01:33 pm Link I don't have a problem posing in front of the camera. If my hair is nicely trimmed and if I have a Stacy Adams or a Brooks Brothers suit available, I'd be much obliged :-) Jun 29 06 01:34 pm Link Sure, had to do it for friends all the time in school. Due to my marriage gut, I can no longer bend over in half and do self 'flexing'. Jun 29 06 01:36 pm Link Lapis wrote: For me. I'd rather be shot than photographed. Of course, when shooting others, the blindfold might actually improve my work! Hey, thanks for the idea!! Jun 29 06 01:37 pm Link Probably not. Like others have said - who wants to see me!!??  I have tens-of-thousands of photos and images, and you could count on one hand the number that have me in them!! Jun 29 06 01:37 pm Link TACrafts wrote: Sure. I've done that once or twice.

Maybe if someone wanted to use my pictures as insect or rodent repellant? Jun 29 06 01:42 pm Link Renata Brazilia wrote: You're gorgeous, Renata. I'll shoot you. Jun 29 06 01:42 pm Link I got my start in photography by agreeing to model-- but only if the photographer would model for me. Once I started working with actual models I no longer had to pose for anyone. I've done it anyway, a couple times in the last year or two, just because a photographer friend asked nicely. Jun 29 06 01:44 pm Link problem is, i can't pose.. imake silly faces Jun 29 06 01:46 pm Link I used to be a model....so sure I would gladly pose for a shoot!  Jun 29 06 01:46 pm Link I actually have done it a few times. The most recent, being nude and actually having sex for David Steinberg. It was hard not being the photographer. I kept wanting to direct the shots. He admitted the first roll was a waste as I was trying to feed him shots. I think everyone should do it as it will give you a better sense of how to communicate with models. Especailly new ones who might be a bit nervous like yourlself. Jun 29 06 01:47 pm Link i preffer not to have my picture taken Jun 29 06 01:53 pm Link David Birdsong wrote: Ditto that one... Jun 29 06 01:54 pm Link no way. im extremely camera shy. no joke. ironic for sure. but i couldnt even supply a magazine with a photo for the contributers page. i do not like to be on the other side of the camera. Jun 29 06 01:55 pm Link In a heartbeat I'd model again. I have and will probably again in the near future, for me its used to learn about the other side of the camera as well. Jun 29 06 01:57 pm Link hmm...if i liked the photographer, then yes. The only pictures I have of myself are from my webcam. Jun 29 06 01:58 pm Link TACrafts wrote: uh, then i'd have to drop the invisible cloak, right? hello? anyone? Jun 29 06 02:01 pm Link have done it.... would like to do more Jun 29 06 02:03 pm Link I do both. MM#5809 Jun 29 06 02:03 pm Link no. Jun 29 06 02:07 pm Link No way -- I tend to break lenses when they are pointed at me due to my horrific countenance. I need to stay behind the camera at all times. -P- Jun 29 06 02:09 pm Link My interest in photography began on the other side of the lens. I would do it... but I sort of like the anonym... anymany... anonamuh... ...you know what I mean. Jun 29 06 02:10 pm Link |
