Do models really care?
Models... do you care what the photographer looks like? I see lots of MM photographer pages that include a self portrait. I'm just curious if that makes any difference in your decision to work with them or not. Jul 23 06 09:36 pm Link Has nothing to do with it  Jul 23 06 09:38 pm Link Dear God I hope not or I'm screwed. Jul 23 06 09:40 pm Link I have worked with super hot photographers as well as some who look like mountain men. LOL Jul 23 06 09:42 pm Link models tell me that they like to know what I look like, so they recognize the person they are to be meeting and working with! Specially if it is a TFP/etc shoot.

Jul 23 06 09:43 pm Link if you are meeting for the first time in a public place...happens a lot in smaller markets...they can find you more easily....and I have been told that my self-portraits show my creativity, too. I have several on my website, as well. Jul 23 06 09:43 pm Link SKPhoto wrote: That's cool though Jul 23 06 09:45 pm Link Nope I couldn't care less!

Jul 23 06 09:51 pm Link SKPhoto wrote: THAT reference is less familiar to me... I only know the Family Guy joke about it. haha Jul 23 06 09:53 pm Link it helps to know who you are looking for when you show up. Jul 23 06 09:53 pm Link It doesn't really matter over-all, but considering the internet as a catalyst , there is a strange comfort level in putting a face to a personality/profile.Not unlike what has been previously said, there is a sense of familiarity if the models can see a photographers face too. But all in all it is not an issue, to me.

Same reason. Jul 23 06 09:55 pm Link My self portraits are all nudes. Who wants to see that in my port? Ewww.

Jul 23 06 09:59 pm Link If we have a meeting before a shoot, and it *must* be at some freaking coffee shop, as opposed to in private and business-like, as I prefer - I do hate that low gut moment of, "is it you?" And yeah, the familiarity helps me see the photographer as just another human, and makes me less nervous about what they'll think of me in person ~S. Jul 24 06 04:00 pm Link To repeat the others. Doesnt really matter much to me unless to otherwise identify the photographer as a meeting location! Jul 24 06 04:26 pm Link Doesn't matter what they look like (unless they look like they haven't showered in a month). It is nice to know what they look like though because they know what I look like so why not?

Jul 24 06 07:45 pm Link It's always a surprise what they look like after your idea of who they are on the phone... I don't care what they look like as long as I feel comfortable and safe... Jul 24 06 07:49 pm Link Anybody wanna shoot with me?  I'm not normally this horny. LOL. Jul 24 06 07:56 pm Link T wrote: Well, in prison I was told I looked like Beau Bridges. Jul 24 06 08:01 pm Link markcomp wrote: Ewwwwww. LOL. Jul 24 06 08:09 pm Link Depends on if you plan on modeling with me or not I like the idea of seeing a photographer first, to have some idea of who I'm working with but it's not a necessity at all.Jul 25 06 04:01 am Link It doesn`t matter what the photographer looks likes as long as he`s not ugly! hehe no just kidding! But it just shows that he`s not afraid to show him/her self. But I can not say that I have seen any female photographers post a pic of them selfs.. Am I wrong? Jul 25 06 04:30 am Link Contrary to a common societal perception, we're really not THAT shallow ... Jul 25 06 05:00 am Link DarioImpiniPhotography wrote: From behind? Jul 25 06 06:15 am Link I don't care what a photographer looks like...I just want to get great pictures together.

Jul 25 06 11:08 am Link As long as my shank comes along with me, I don't care if you're a linebacker. Jul 25 06 05:21 pm Link No. Jul 25 06 05:30 pm Link I always require a meet and greet kind of thing before i even pose for a photographer. but seeing their photo on their online album isn't *that* important, but it helps.

Jul 26 06 07:02 pm Link Oh, come on! Of course it matters. You know if that if a model is planning to do an interview for say a glamour shot, and the photographer looks like a construccion worker who just go off his shift, she would probably be a no-show on the day of the shoot. And if the guy happens to be the handsomest photographer, I guarantee he has no no-show problems, unless the girl is intimidated by his good looks. Granted there are women who are more open-minded than others, but women are women. Jul 26 06 10:46 pm Link Well I think when you first start an dmeet photographers...maybe you waited for the photographer you usually see in movies with a jacket with flowers on it. I think the more you work you realize that the result of work has nothing to do wiht a photographer being slim and smoking ,taking a slice of pizza,fat,no hair or being a pretty pretty green eyed girl! yeah the picture in my avatar was taken by her OMG I enjoyed that shoot!!. I mean except in a case where the photographer really catch your eye..it doesnt matter really,its a job and it smore the personality and vibe between model and photographer not the looks Jul 27 06 07:08 pm Link |
