Missing from a model's profile
Here is a broad question to photographers. What information do you often find missing from most model's profiles that you would like to see included? For example, I appreciate it when a model mentions which days or hours she is most likely to be available. In lieu of weight, I prefer that a model list their range of clothing size including bra and shoe size. I just makes it easier to match the model to the available clothing. Any other ideas? Oct 20 06 11:55 pm Link I'd just be happy with a clear headshot that hasn't had gobs of Gaussian Blur applied to the skin. I'm looking for models, not mannequins... Oct 20 06 11:58 pm Link A clean, clear headshot, a full body shot, any indication of interests (modeling) and an indication of limits (modeling). When I am looking for a model to hire, I want to know: what you look like, what you are interested in doing and what work you are willing to do. Give it to me as a bulleted list, make my life easy, that's a models job to make the photographers life easier. Oct 21 06 12:22 am Link I agree. And be professional and polite. The portfolios where the model rails about what they won't do get passed over. And of course, be polite on the forums. Oct 21 06 12:24 am Link Tell us something in your profile that describes your personality and desires... but keep it in a professional tone instead of an -on-line dating forum. Tell us why you would make a good model. Let us feel you will conduct yourself professionally and be on time. Do not tell us you are unwilling to do nude work because of moral reasons AND THEN proceed to post sleazy under garment photos with sexualy explicit poses... it sends a mixed message. Reply to email when someone sends you one. And please, do not bother with the cell phone pics... lol Oct 21 06 12:32 am Link So I'm assuming that my bio is way too short... I thought too many words would just be passed over... Guess I'll include the shoe size and dress size, etc. Oct 21 06 12:34 am Link Would sure be nice if the flags that indicate the modelling styles the model wishes to engage in would be VISIBLE! How *hard* can that be? Why store that information and not show it? lol Oct 21 06 12:35 am Link Real Skin & Shoe Size ...over and out = ) Oct 21 06 12:36 am Link Lora wrote: Too many words- Yes, I would pass by.

Oct 21 06 05:30 am Link Mostly, location, im not willing to travel 100 miles, for a shoot. or ask a model to travel half way around the state, for tfp, unless we can both work in other reasons for traveling that far. clear head shots, one with mimimum makeup, and one showing what's she got. a great full body shot. what they will, and will not pose for. this saves alot of time, and trouble for both parties. thats all I can think of, other entries might include, whether or not you are a heorine junkie. just out of prision for beating up a photog, a lawsuit addict, or just plain psychotic. Or have restraint orders on an overly jealous ex-boyfriend. (just kidding?) Michael Reyes wrote: Oct 21 06 05:47 am Link Lora wrote: There's no way to win really. Someone will always have a problem with your profile. I've been left tags telling me to shorten my profile, but I've been commended in being so clear and answering all questions before they could be asked.

If present, where. Oct 21 06 09:52 am Link |
