doesn't any one do this just because they love it
Doing TFCD/P was a lot more fun than now when $$$ exchanges hands. I love to shoot models but it seems the free shoots are pretty much getting to be a thing of the past with all these models with 'some experience' now charging.

Dec 04 06 09:15 am Link Well, I wish I could meet the photogs more often that want to do it for the fun of it. I stopped wanting to do it just for the fun of it because well- I want to at least get some money out of it if I'm going to be harassed the whole shoot by a creepy photog. I've wanted to write posts time and again about frustration and how I want to quit this silly modeling thing (because I started just to make art and have fun) but unfortunately ((sometimes)) as we all know, that gets ruined. But thanks for the refreshing thoughts - it reminds me of why I started and continue to model-------- xo, liz Dec 05 06 04:50 pm Link honestly, I just like to shoot! Dec 05 06 04:53 pm Link If i jsut did it for the money, I wouldn't do it. Dec 05 06 04:56 pm Link Photography is my passion, my life and my calling. Wait, hang on, yup, it's calling my cell right now  Dec 05 06 05:00 pm Link F-Stop Images wrote: ... what he said..

Dec 09 06 01:06 am Link I do it because I love it and I usually refuse payment if I like a photographers work even if they offer me gas money or something. I don't tend to accept.

Dec 09 06 02:47 am Link I do it to see where it may possibly take me. I have so much fun on a shoot and the people I've met have only inspired me to do more.

It's just that occasionally that old survival thing pops up Dec 09 06 02:58 am Link If I wanted a hobby, I wouldnt take up something that costs many thousands of dollars and then involve others like models, MUAs and stylists who mostly make a living from this. I would get a cheap camera and go shoot sunsets or something. Dec 09 06 09:09 am Link I do this becuase I love it... I regard it as a form of artwork. I am an artist, it's what I live for & I find modelling a great creative outlet. If I make money from this then that's all well & good, But I'm not in it just for the money... If I end up making cash or whatever I want it to be a byproduct of what i'm doing because I do it well. Not becuase I expect it. Dec 09 06 11:11 am Link I do it for free almost all the time...but I've been fortunate enough to be born into a very supportive, upper middle class family. If I didn't have all the priveleges I've been so lucky to have, I wouldn't have the time or financial means to model for fun. I don't blame anyone for doing it for money. Sometimes you have to. You should just feel fortunate that you're ABLE to do it because you love it. Dec 09 06 11:15 am Link |
