Since the cliche contest thing went so well a few months ago, I propose another theme for MM'ers here for December, inspired in part by Click Hamilton's ever-whimsical shots: reversed roles.

If you work with any fellow MM'ers this month, shoot a few frames with the model photographing the photographer modeling. Post your best shot here.

Rules:

0. There is no prize. Do it for the exposure.

1. The photographer can set up the lights, but not the tripod.

2. No one should play MUA except the MUA.

3. Photographer is not required to use the model's wardrobe.

4. The photographer may bring an non-disruptive escort for their own safety, but may not charge a make-up fee or for travel expenses.

5. Photographer and model can work out who will pick and retouch the shot.

6. Either one can post the image here, but there should be a link to the other participants.

7. Photographers, I know you've always wanted to do nudes, but this time around, let's not scare off everyone with your model's B&W figure study of your uncombed back hair, and keep all images something we can post w/o the 18+ tag.

8. If you can use a second camera to capture both model shooting and photographer modeling (self-timer), post it too, but you have to post what the model actually shot.

9 Model can require that the photographer agree to the terms of their own release.

10. Pick the best of no more than 5 exposures. No "monkeys with typewriters" shooting.

11. If you reply to someone's image, please save our scroll bars and chop out the quoted image. Convert it to a URL if you are BBcode-savvy.

12. You can enter more than once, just not with the same combination of model and photographer.

13. Nothing larger than 600 pixels wide.

14. Entries are due by January 3.

Anyone game?

Here's a few smile
I shoot both sides of the lens and have taken photos of several photographers during our shoots.  Lately, several of the photogs and I have planned it this way (them wanting headshots or photos of them shooting photos).

I can't get past rule number 0.




No way are you going to get me to expose myself for nothing.  You want to see the goods then you'd better be ready with cash, check, charge or gold bullion...

...or a fresh baked batch of chocolate chip cookies.  I'm flexible.

Caroline, beautiful work, but no fair!

No head starts, just shoots in December please, and remember the people who aren't currently using 30" Apple Cinema displays by crunching the resolution down a bit.

(I totally forgot with the MM member I shot today (eve-adeline. What a great example I set.)

This could be fun but change 2 and 3 to

2. The MUA should not be a separate person not played by a MUA.
(I think this would be fun and we would all learn something about how hard it is just to organize the makeup, carry it around, and clean it up.  Nevermind the skill needed to apply it.  The stories and mistakes or triumphs would be wonderful)

3. Photographer is required not to use the model's wardrobe.

Extend the deadline to Feb 1 or Valentines day.
