Well, the only fair way to determine who will replace Giselle (sp?) between you and Erin will obviously be a mud wrestling contest. It's really the only way, and to keep it fair I'll be sure to photograph the event. I'll start taking bets right now... Just send me your checks and I'll take care of everything!

Could it be that you prefer to shoot within your comfortzone, also maybe because you are not confident enough into your skill or experience that you are afraid that you may look like a clueless hack to her if you start working with Giselle, or any other model in her league?

No.  I just don't think she's that interesting.  Is such a thing really so hard to believe?

And I wasn't pretending not to have heard of her [I ended up googleing her].  Fashion models aren't my thing, a fact that I think is well known around here.

Unless of course she actually happens to do fetish/bondage, in which case I know a particularly devilish Shibari rigger from Orlando named Suki who would love to get her hands on an unsuspecting supermodel.

I was actually not talking about you Melvin, it was more a general observation.

I am aware that you are in a different field of photography.

Personally, I had to get used to shooting high profile models, always keeping in mind that those people over a long career have worked with probably a thousand photographers with all kinds of impressive gears... and then comes lil' ol' me...

This means that I had in the beginning my own self doubts... but when I see how those people react to me, and get excited when they see my results... that is very encouraging.

Because of this, I wonder about the reaction of many who do fashion and start to get into a much higher level of the industry... and consider their own experiences and weaknesses.

Anyway... got to run... am late already.

Cheerio

Was it the Burka comment?

I actually think that'd be a VERY challenging shoot.  And, yes, I concede the pressure to produce with big money, big producers, and big egos pulling my purse strings would probably make my heart rupture..

But, imagine, if you can pull of a supermodel look with nothing but solid material, lighting, and the emotion you can pull out of her eyes... That would be something..

On the other hand.. No, until her name was brought up and I googled an image, I'd never heard of her..

I had never heard of her before this thread -- not just pretending.  Had to Google her and, like most ''supermodels'', she's not interesting to me.  Pretty but nothing special.  No thanks and to each his own.  There are dozens of more attractive models here on MM.

As a photographer  , If Giselle Bundchen were to pose for you conditional upon you having a totally unique and cool photoshoot idea - what would your idea be ( remember she doesnt do nude )

we would make pretty pictures, in fact I can not think of a shooter that would be a better fit, remember I dont do nudes unless I am on a paid commision, I pride myself in not needing to do nudes to make pretty pictures and I believe she does as well.

That's why she should work with me instead:  I don't settle for "pretty."

To Garry:

I wouldn't be able to make a plan on whatever outrageous shoot I would do with her, until she and I spoke and the AD or Creative Director or the client told me what they are looking for in approximation.

I would love to work with her, simply because it's such a difference when working with a top, experienced pro... if you can get great emotion out of a beginner, imagine what you can do with someone who knows what they are doing...

It's an all different ballgame.

Udor , first let me say you are a great photogrpaher

Second , let me go back to the origainl question - and that pertained to  going with the photogrpahers own idea ( no Ad or Creative Director around ) Just you

So ?

Pure bondage--but I'd probably tie her up on the beach.  If it was done on the East Coast, at Sunrise.  On the West Coast, Sunset.

Does it really  matter which coast you are on - as it appears to me that you do all your shoots in cheap motel rooms

I can bet my left nut.. that you can put her next to ANY model in MM and you will see why she is a supermodel.. Those type of girls are just... special..

I'd shoot her out of a cannon. Question answered.

Plus I think she is soft as shit, I am pretty sure it was her who said not too long ago that holocaust was payback for something the jews did a century before not sure the exact way it was said but I think thats it in a nut shell

Giselle is an eye sore. I want to see something in a photograph that moves me to inspiration, not mental retardation! Besides a much more appropriate question is: Who would win in a fight, The Sensational She-Hulk or Giselle Bundchen? Answer: Neither. Neither one of them is real!

Have you looked at your work lately?

What's the reason?  In case you hadn't noticed lots of models are "gorgeous" -- and they're not "all over Vogue."

Assuming the fashion "industry" is a noble meritocracy, what's the merit?  She looks like pretty much every other model on every other magazine to me.

Every model looks like every other model.  Each model has her own thing it does not matter how much she looks like another woman she is still entirely different with a completely different attitude and perception, which if you do it right will come out  in the photo. Some gorgeous woman make horrible models its not in their look attitude or eyes, some women who look gorgeous but may not seem like much shine infront of the camera.

Speak for yourself.  None of the people i work with "look like every other model."   The individuality of each of my subjects is what brings me to work with them.
