what does the average commercial shoot look like
This shot, taken by Tiffany B's mom shows(permission given so far) What the average cast looks like on many a commercial shoots across america. The beauty is not hightened by down played. The sexyness is gone. You are there to look average. But a beautiful average. Fashion models often look like aliens from space. Commercial models look like your hot neighbor. Something to think about. https://www.modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pid=1034931 Jul 24 06 12:37 am Link The commercial photographers I work with all have like this, you know, high end equipment, 4-5 lighting set ups, and enough equipment to travel and take pictures of 'average' commercial models. One of the commercial photographers I know makes the biggest money on things like Cialis flyers. God bless usage rights..... Also, they bill so much because they have 1/2 a million dollar studios. Half their money goes towards rent and the other half goes towards equipment upkeep. Jul 24 06 12:45 am Link They look like people. Weird.

Jul 25 06 12:56 am Link ya know... its not fun... but who else feels comfortable getting the photographer 45,000 per day plus crew and expenses for 3 rolls? save that markup though, dude... it is soooo right on Jul 25 06 01:01 am Link oldguysrule wrote: Well thanks! I'm just glad I can remember the numbers at this point, LOL. Jul 25 06 01:14 am Link Shouldn't there be a few assisants, stylists, ADs and MUAs there too? In my limited expereince with commercial work, they're just not professional if you don't have a dozen people around all stepping on each other's toes.
