As recently as Feb 2014 they have made some new acquisitions including DOMAI and another site. It is possible that they are expanding on their web content in related but slightly different directions. HOWEVER, THAT SAID MetArt [or any of the recently acquired sites] has, to my knowledge, never featured M+F "couples" though they do have some areas of their sites featuring F+F "couples" If I had to venture a wild guess, MetArt does not have to rely on CL adverts to attract talent on either side of the camera. There is just too much, far too much, puffery [and a bit of name-dropping**] in the CL advert to be believable. If there really is $20 grand on the table + travel expenses then I want to see the money AND the contracts. But that's just me.  ** BTW Zalman King DIED on February 3, 2012. No chance of shooting with him I think! Studio36 May 17 14 02:10 am Link Sounds scammy. (seems OP knows that though) There are plenty of Met Art shoots in the US, why would they bother sending someone overseas... Not to mention I think they still do a lot of "shoot it, maybe we'll buy it" stuff. and there's plenty of MA shoots with those hawwwwwwt easteurobabes as well. That's what I heard anyway. Never seen them myself. May 17 14 03:41 am Link There are US photographers who shoot for MetArt. This CL ad looks phony. I have photographed a few models who have been in MetArt. May 17 14 03:20 pm Link Never would have considered Milwaukee as a hotbed for Met-Art, young eastern european looking style models. Who Knew?! Just sayin' May 17 14 04:06 pm Link Art Silva wrote: My thoughts exactly! No offense to anyone from those parts but come on. May 17 14 04:18 pm Link Art Silva wrote: Not all the MetArt models are eastern European these days. I know some American models who have been MetArt models. May 17 14 06:19 pm Link Jerry Nemeth wrote: I know that but they do share that same MetArt model look, and I have to say I have yet to meet any model from that area that has that look, especially enough to place a casting call... no offense to you and others that live in the region. May 17 14 06:23 pm Link Art Silva wrote: I already said that. There is a MetArt model in my portfolio. May 17 14 06:31 pm Link studio36uk wrote: Met-art does have a site that has b/g couples. It's appropriately called sex-art. May 17 14 06:43 pm Link I think Met Art is likely a very successful company, that could afford someone with at least a smidgen of experience writing marketing pieces. I'd guess they're not hiring/using the person who wrote this. May 17 14 06:46 pm Link Jerry Nemeth wrote: Congrats but where is she from? J O H N A L L A N wrote: I agree. Im sure they have their own talent scouts and portfolio submissions or references to NOT put out CL casting call ads in the most unlikely place in hope there is a pool of talent with their look.

I'm not sure if I should out them. Dave Preston photographed them. May 17 14 07:21 pm Link Vindictive Images wrote: Yes. May 17 14 07:39 pm Link Vindictive Images wrote: The point being that Milwaukee only (no one included metropolitan Chicago) is a MetArt hotbed that warrants a CL casting call? That this may not be a certain Scam? come-on lets get real. Vindictive Images wrote: Jerry Nemeth wrote: I rest my case May 18 14 12:08 am Link MURICA!  May 18 14 12:50 am Link Here she is again. I also shot nudes.  May 18 14 01:45 am Link I shot with her and her puppy  then later when he was grown up we did a doggie playdate and our dogs photobombed a few   There's some uncensored shots of her from other shoots in my portfolio May 18 14 02:16 am Link Art Silva wrote: No, my point was there are Met-Art Network models from the area ranging between Chicago and Milwaukee. I'm not sure why Met-Art can't do a spray recruitment campaign placing ads in every major city. I know Digital Desire (the late Stephen Hicks), a competitor, recruited everywhere through MM casting calls. May 18 14 11:00 am Link 20 grand should be enough of a hint. Even 5 grand would be steep for that style of shooting. There's quite a few photographers and models on here that have worked with them, have a few friends who have too. I don't even have to ask to know that's a fake ad May 18 14 11:04 am Link Clearly a scam. But there is reason average Joes and Joans would know how any type of company they have heard of operates anyway, which makes it a "good" scam....ie where their factories are, whether they farm out all their production, what the parent companies are... or whether or not they do casting calls. There was some company doing actor casting calls around here during Bev Hills 90210 heyday and everyone was convinced it was for the show even though they never mentioned what it was for--just because of a brief clip of the theme song May 18 14 11:08 am Link I just noticed that Holly Randall also shoots for MetArt.
