Is there modeling jobs for non-nude models
yeah i know im a nude model, and with that it makes finding work as easy as sliceing pie. But the way people treat me sometimes just drives me insane, not to mention i can never have an actual career. So I was wondering, is thier even work out there for non-nude models? I know alot of photographers make non-nude girls pay money, which is dumb but whatever..anywho i dont have anything to put in here, so does anyone have any good advice for me? the problem with non-nude is being disowned by my family, and having disgusting people reconize me in public, telling me how hot i look naked, specially if im on a date. its just kinda annoying Jul 01 06 09:48 pm Link I've hired models for both nude and nonnude work, but honestly, I'd probably pass you by, even though you're quite pretty. Your profile seems targeted for photographers who are looking for the "really pissed-off alternative/goth wanting quality work" type of model, and that's going to be a fairly narrow and limited market. Jul 01 06 09:55 pm Link Stay nude, ignore the rude, don't start a feud, and ditch the 'tude. Jul 01 06 10:00 pm Link Work comes and work goes. Right now I have several bookings where models are paying me to photograph them nude. The chances of a model getting paid non-nude work from me right now are zip to zilch. But I've been around long enough to know that in awhile, perhaps in only a few weeks time, some client will come around asking me for "sexy, non-nude" photos for his website or whatever, and then I'll be hiring clothed models again. I also know from experience that often a model will write me, "I only do nudes for $150 an hour, and no spreads," and then six months later she'll write me back saying, "I do nudes for $50/hr, $65 with spreads." Like I wrote: work comes and work goes. My advice to you is to keep taking the nude jobs and putting the money in the bank and to keep reminding photographers that you're available for other kinds of modeling. If too many months go by without a clothed shoot then do some clothed TFPs to "freshen" your portfolio. The life of a freelancer is all about taking any job you can get in order to pay your bills while you're looking for the great jobs you dream of someday getting. Oh yeah, and take your rates off your profile. Negotiate pay on a "per job" basis. Jul 01 06 10:03 pm Link I dont do nudes and i get paid;-)hehe well sort of?..I do up to fully implied wich im pretty much naked hehe,but ofcourse im always covering my goodies,either with my hands or props,I LOVE it!!its so much fun and leaves something to the viewers imagination but i guess it just depends how you put yourself out there too,I think theres paid work for all types of models,even the ones that dont take anything off!The moneys out there you just gotta go find it!:-) Now does anyone interested in hiring me????????????????;-)~ xoxo, ClaudiaG Jul 01 06 10:13 pm Link It would really depend on what kind of work a model was looking to do. Art and glamour - yeah, good luck finding a consistent client base of people not looking for at least some nudity. If you have the right build and/or look to get signed to an agency, though, I suspect you could potentially go your entire career without taking your top off. Of course, the problem is that the girls who are too short/heavy/old/plain-looking for high-fashion (and too "unusual" for commercial) tend to end up having to do art and glamour. Someone in your position, OP, say... Yeah, you would probably have a very hard time finding steady non-nude work. But what's so bad about nudity? Jul 01 06 10:14 pm Link omG,I think thats the first post I ever responded to.....Yay,you popped my cherry!!! MUAHHHH! ClaudiaG Jul 01 06 10:14 pm Link HerbP wrote: Hahaha, you're funny!

Good ole Model Mayhem hypocricy strikes again! Jul 01 06 10:44 pm Link I do very little nude work and I hire clothed models for various projects.

"I hate glamour! Which is why my entire portfolio is cheezy topless/lingerie shots!" Uh-huh. stop posting about things i said on my profile. just read what i wrote here and give me nice advice thanks Wow, that's an awfully bratty thing to say to people you're hoping to get (exhorbitantly-overpriced) paid work from. Jul 01 06 10:54 pm Link Having read your profile, I might ask .... has it ever occurred to you that all those that you seem so eager to pass judgement on might find YOU to be "fucking annoying?" P.S.: This IS my advice. Jul 01 06 11:01 pm Link Cyberella wrote: Ok I will answer your simple but inflated question. Jul 01 06 11:05 pm Link Cyberella wrote: Why? Jul 01 06 11:10 pm Link for those of you that find it nessicary to post that kinda shit im reporting you. thier isnt any need for that shit, im just asking a question Jul 01 06 11:11 pm Link Cyberella wrote: The MODs have me on speed dial. Thanks for playing. Jul 01 06 11:17 pm Link If nudity is going to be you line of work, then those are some consequences. Some people aren't disowned by their family or recognized in public, but the farther one thing goes then so will the other Jul 01 06 11:17 pm Link hmm yeah. it happens sometimes tho. but i think its because of myspace haha Jul 01 06 11:31 pm Link You write an extremely annoying profile that "disses" everyone else and you are going to report US? Have a ball. Jul 01 06 11:45 pm Link Wow,do things like this happen all the time on this bulletin things???...sorry kinda New to this:-(.......should i jump in,hehe....nah...never mind..................so ANYONE WANNA SHOOT????....TEXAS model her;-)~ xoxo, ClaudiaG Jul 01 06 11:49 pm Link J Merrill Images wrote: The "About Me" has been deleted, and it sound by that last post she is trying to make nice.

Jul 01 06 11:52 pm Link took me a while to get it...but ...lmao....omG!!thats Krazy i dint mean.....okim off to bed...;-)~ Jul 01 06 11:55 pm Link There are always jobs out there for clothed models. The only thing is, some models have a "set price" that gets a bit on the steep side to work with them just in casual clothing. Don't jump on me, it's thier right to ask for it, and it would be my job to say yes or no to the rate (whether clothed or not). So yes, the jobs are out there, it's just that some models just chose to price themselves completely out of it. Jul 01 06 11:56 pm Link yes thats why i dont have rates haha. but thanks for the info Jul 01 06 11:58 pm Link I'm new to this "Internet Modelling world", but I know alot about the photo business. The truth is that (at least in my world- advertising photography) photographers rarely pay models- clients pay models. And if I want to shoot personal or portfolio work, all I have to do is call the agencies and they will send me anyone on the board to shoot with me TFP, because they know that if they get their models in front of my camera, they will have a better chance of getting my clients to hire them down the road. The problem is that if I want to shoot nudes for my portfolio or my personal work, I have the awkward problem of asking a model to disrobe, who may not be comfortable with that. Some of the agency models are perfectly comfortable with nudity, some are not. At least on this site, a photographer can know ahead of time if that question is offensive or not, and that is the real advantage of listing here for the model who is comfortable with nudity. So to answer your question I would say that if you really want a career modelling non-nude, also get listed with a bricks and mortar agency- some agencies now specialize in "real" people models (models who don't necessarily fit size 4, 5'10", 110 lbs)- but if you enjoy being photographed naked, have fun here. Cheers, Steve Jul 01 06 11:58 pm Link so she isn't on the site right now, how old is she 19? Jul 02 06 12:55 am Link 18 Jul 02 06 12:56 am Link That was a serious loss of control......
