To ALL models who endure the shot
A toast to all models who endure many things just to get the 1 shot! Hot lights,make up, location,strenuous and uncomfortable positions and the critiques. My recent shoot "Colorado snow and steel" Took my model (Brenda) and I on a mile hike through deep snow and up slippery slopes to an old mine for this shoot. All though I checked everything for safety, it was her body on the cold steel and in the snow.Even with the warm air temps the steel and snow of course were pretty cold to the skin.Through all of the 'hardships and adverse conditions' she still managed to keep it together just so I could get the shot! HATS OFF TO ALL MODELS for helping us to get the shots we want and are happy with Dec 13 06 08:59 pm Link What no comments on this from anyone? Dec 13 06 11:14 pm Link well....Fred let me be the first to say Thank You. I'd wouldnt hesitate to say thank you to the photogs who also endure along with us....There is one particular shoot I will never forget.....the Male model, Myself, as well as the Photog froze our butts off for a shoot. So hats off to those Photogs who also endure what their models endure.

Its nice to know photographers appreciate this, we models do too... Dec 13 06 11:30 pm Link One model here has laid on a snow covered island in the nude after wading through a river still partially covered with ice, then had to wade back to shore. Canoed five days for a shoot, not to mention having to eat my campfire cooking the whole time. Climbed cliffs nude. Had rock slides come down on top of her. (I'm talking rocks the size of microwave ovens) Laid on a frozen lake nude. Scaled to the top of rock outcrops in Arizona nude. Endured cactus needles embedded in every possible portion of her hide. Found herself covered in leaches after getting out of a swamp for me. I can't even begin to count the cuts, scrapes gouges and bruises she has endured for the shot. A couple of out takes: http://www.photopoints.com/main/photos/ … %20D%20975 http://www.photopoints.com/main/photos/ … 68B6BFBBA5 e-string, there is no one like you.

Dec 14 06 01:19 pm Link e-string is tough cookies. Dec 14 06 01:20 pm Link A tougher cookie you will not find. I though I had killed her once. She was hit in the head by a rock about the size of a basketball when the perch she was on at a cliff, collapsed. When I reached her she was bleeding and dazed, but alive. I lost a few years off of my life that day, which I can't afford. Dec 14 06 01:25 pm Link Shadowscape Studio wrote: Wow, that's hardcore! Dec 14 06 01:26 pm Link Shadowscape Studio wrote: Omg! Seriously? Thats intense...and I bet the pics still came out killer... Dec 14 06 01:29 pm Link We had gotten some good work prior to that incident that day. Many more since then. Dec 14 06 01:32 pm Link Hats off to you models! Bravo! Standing Ovation! I've frozen a few models in weird locations. We did this shot at 7am on a very cold morning! https://modelmayhem.com/pic.php?pid=1880545 Dec 14 06 01:40 pm Link Bravo to your model. Dec 14 06 02:03 pm Link |
