Don't take this as an offense, but just as an honest answer.

Yes, to me Goth is a turnoff. I don't like the style and I tend to ignore models whose portfolios are mostly Goth pictures.

ziocite,
goth is a mood; one which you do not display in your portfolio. You are a self described goth model, yet only one picture on your port approaches the feeling and tone. That's why I said I would not say you were gothic....
I wasn't saying that to get into some arguement with you; I was just saying that your problem is not that you are a goth model.

And yes I am just going by your portfolio because that is what a photographer has to go by. You can't fault your lack of work on being gothic because your portfolio does not display gothic work

hey I made a living off of it for a while... oh wait i was doing softcore porn...

this thread is undead...undead...undead.

Some goths are hot! Some are just dead. Really.

I once followed this goth chic who was shopping for groceries in a really short mini-goth-skirt. ( mini-goths, wee little goth folk, lol) Actully, she was full size but her skirt wasn't. She was a little exhibitionistic as well as evidenced by her straight-legged approach to picking up stuff from the bottom shelf. Or was it those boots preventing her? Honestly, it's not like I was gonna risk a bite on the neck by offending her had I played 20 questions. So I lurked. So what. You would too...

Wish I woulda been brave and asked her to shoot, but I didn't want to die early.

" is goth a turn off???"

Yes, it's not commercially viable.  The goths that I so shoot with turn me around with something else.  Exceptional personality, ease to shoot with, belief in oneself, whatever.  If i work with a goth it's one helluva goth.  If you're goth and say "Now what?" when you get in front of my lens, forgeddaboutit.  And I will make that descision before I take a picture.
