This is a two part question.

(1)  Who is your FAVORITE MODEL that you have worked with?
(a. must be a model you have worked with at least once!) 
(b. DOES NOT have to be a model on Model Mayhem ...)


(2) Who is a model you want to work with WHO IS on Model Mayhem?
(it's almost like telling your secret crush! lol  No stalking allowed though!)

Just thought this would be a positive post, but I will give my answers later in the thread.

Nice selection Starmodels!  Before this, Model #1816 May-Lu was already on my list to work with.

Rick,  Sarah is "Wow!" great model!  But there must be someone you have your eyes on that you're just dieing to shoot with?  Who is in your future?

1) Sylwia Krol with Bloom Models
2) I wish I were good enough to have something to offer Alfea

But May-Lu is someone who makes one almost want to visit a state that borders Texas smile

A couple Favorite Models I've worked with;

(1) The most professional and beautiful model I've had the honor of working with has got to be Anaiah Veras!  She does not seem to be on ModelMayhem, but you can find her at;
http://groups.yahoo.com/group/Anaiah
  also OMP #34286

The reason is her great attitude, ability to pose quickly, while maintaining a great look for the camera. She is a true team player. The only thing I can say is that I would love to schedule more shoots with her in the future.  A model like her is a team player who can teach others!

(2)  Then there is the model showing up a lot on my profile here;
Kelda, also a talented hip hop artist! 
http://www.myspace.com/keldamuzik   
Also on OMP as Mikayla  #46780

                   ----------------------

Then as for models on MM that I'd like to work with ....
There are SOOOO MANY GREAT MODELS on this site!

Many of these models I have already seen on OMP from profiles they have there .... 
(1) is Seanna #5516 on MM.
It was on OMP that I first saw her about 3 years ago.  She has been doing some awesome work!  Seanna is a California model who I hope to shoot with soon.

(2)  is Jen Hilton #3629 on MM.  Jen also caught my eye on OMP about 4 years ago, but her image is all over the 'net with her own website, fashion webzines, and many, many places!  Due to geography differences, it wont be easy to set up a shoot because Jen is in Vancouver area of Canada.

The model who caught my eye here on ModelMayhem is
(3) Tavia Spizer #3668.  So "thank you" Model Mayhem!  Everybody has such nice things to say about working with her, so I hope that I can schedule a shoot with this California beauty! 

Please keep this a positive thread! Shout out the name of your favoite model to work with and the one you dream of working with!

Models who post "looking for work" in the wrong part of the forum wont make this photographers "favorites" list by doing so!

Brian, who are your favorites you've worked with?  Someone NOT "untouchable"?

alison dupree OMP #17145
reasons
1) in my hometown
2) was in playboy with her twin, a real full feature, not just a single shot in a feature.  her sister has since passed but ali is still gorgeous and I figure if she's good enough for playboy, I'll let her work for me...lol

Two of my favorites have been

and Abby OMP 70212 --MM 13928.

Both were very easy to shoot with, they need very little direction and can do it all.

#1 i got way to many years to just blurt that one out (:-----

#2 Since i see no reason to fantasize or wish to work with a model that has no wishes to work with me...
A model that actually needs the photos for her profession that she loves
Photos that will help them see who they are,and let others be in aww..
Shooting is not a single sided affair ,there is comunication involved...
I can tell when a model wants to work with me..

How?
Comunication!!!

This fly by nite model who just wants to shoot 1 set to show all her future boyfriends..

Thats just a Big waste of time for me!!

Money?

I can get money Anywhere!!
And i do!!


I want to shoot a model that will walk half way across the United States just to shoot with me!!!

And there can be only One!!

So i would Have to say Jamie Kay  MM# 713

Just thought this would be a positive post, but I will give my answers later in the thread.

My favorite model to work with is the one who is in the nudes in my profile. I happened to find her a few years ago at a bus stop while waiting for the local bus for a ride home from the next town.
Not because she did nude modeling, but because she is an absolute total trooper and does what is needed for the shot without whining and sees that the photographs are not just about her, they are a total package sort of thing.
In the shoot we did those nudes in, all on her own she crawled across, laid on and straddled those big huge rough boulders, laid on and crawled around on and sat on the rough sandstone ground, all in the hot sun. I did not even pose her myself one single time. I call that shoot the magic hour shoot. It was my very first outdoor shoot with the Olympus E10 which I had bought not long after it came out and one of my first shoots with it in general. We had planned to get to the location in early afternoon but got seriously lost finding it and did not get there until about an hour before sunset, hense the magic hour because of the golden light of the setting sun.  On top of having never used this E10 outdoors before and on top of only having used it a couple times before, period, I had never shot outside during magic hour EVER before.
I also call it my perfect shoot. Not one shot came out bad , the shoot went more smooth than even any shoot I have had since then.
Can you believe she specifically did that shoot to reinsure herself that she was beautiful? The whole shoot was her idea.
She has become great friends of my fiance and I since we first met and she is now in Washington for school but we keep in touch often.

Let's see, favorite models I've worked with...

Erica Campbell
Lisa Grace (MM#24071)
Mischi (MM#635)

Beyond the fact that they all photograph beautifully, their personalities made the shoots a lot of fun, and very relaxed. I've worked with Lisa Grace four times, and plan to shoot with her again. I also plan to shoot more with Mischi, but doubt I'll get a chance to shoot Erica again...

And the top 3 models I'd like to work with...

Betcee May (MM#8001)
Lane (MM#7479)
CatC (MM#17309)

The three of them define elegance for me. I'll be shooting with Betcee May when she makes it out here on her cross country trip, but the others are so far away...

My favorite MM model to work with is Jessica Loren(14903).  She is beautiful, lots of fun, and once you point the camera at her, she goes into her "model mode" and all you have to do is snap away...And she's only 16!  Before you know it, you have 500 pics that you will have to look through and edit!  Her mom, Peggy, is also wonderful to work with; she does her hair and makeup, always has ideas and concepts that she would like to see.  Just great people to work with.
