Welcome to the Internet
Good morning OP
You have just stepped out of your safe little world of agency modeling, and into the big bad world of internet photography. There are no rules here; a girl who is 5â 1â in 4â stiletto heals can get paid work from photographers, so can a girl who is bigger than a size 4. The typical agency rules donât apply to us anymore. Sorry about that, in just a few days your in box will be filled with silly little girls with crappy web cam photos saying they love your work, yet you need to pay 150.00 an hour to shoot them. Not to make it too complicated there are several different camps of people all colliding on this site:
Agency models and photographers = work for clients and have a set of standards
Artist models and photographers = work for art and the chance to be in the galleries.
Amateur models and photographers = work to learn some of these guys and girls will move up and do some great work in the above categories.
GWP and GWC = itâs all about the b(o)(o)bies.
Welcome to our worldâ¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦â¦..
*Flashes her boobies at OP and runs off * No wonder people love you.

Here ya go OP
you know you can actually buy manneqins right? Maybe he'd like one of those real doll things better - that way he could shoot a mannequin and sleep with his model at the same time!

Just curious.

Ok OP are you trolling, or do you actually express such distain to the models who you work with before you shoot them?? I'm very courious.
What person whould have anything to do with you after knowing how you feel about them? Super scary

i have one nude, a little art shot and it has the most views. I should put up the rest of the shots, they were more candid and more boobs but i will not lower myself like that. I just like to shoot art, could care less about nudes really. That one fem just wanted some topless so whatever..

The images in my portfolio are varied. The 18+ images have less then some of the clothed imaged because the ones with twice number of comments show action in them or are of a very well know and liked model.
Nude is ok, but try drawing the attention of the viewing audience with a clothed model and I say youâve got something.

I'm relatively new here in MM. I've always thought that the mods here are pretty strict. I just wanna know, are there fake photographers here too? Or those so called pervs who just wanna see naked pics?

So we're basically a bunch of perverts in disguise as photographer. It seems that way to me. Getting anyone to look at my images is like pulling teeth, because all of my models are fully clothed.

Mods are very strict about fake profiles...
If you see one let them know through CAM and it will be dealt with.
However it only takes 4 images to start a profile on MM so it is easy to just start one up and look at all the nude work on this site you want...But if we didn't want peopel looking at it we would not post it.

There are freaks everywhere.
That's why you have to do background check. If you are unsure of the photographer, bring your boyfriend. Don't trust photographers. I've work with plenty of models. I want to meet them in a public place like a coffee shop before we talk about the shoots. It's CYA. Always good to CYA.

True. If they don't understand the concept of working with me, then I really have no use for them.

Models need photographers more than we need them. I believe there exists a mutual necessity.
Especially if you want to be a fashion photographer (or any type that photographs people).
If you do landscape, still, etc, well then you don't need models....
Then again...there are other types of modeling that don't need photographers. Runway, promotional, spokesmodeling, etc.

No, the perverts are the ones who feel all icky and dirty when they see a nude human body then try to make everyone else ashamed of it by calling them perverts. Most of us are just grown up people who've come to terms with the concept that the human body is beautiful. *Buys Tim a beer*

He made a general statement ( a valid one at that).
I think you guys are getting out of control with this sending people to the brig for any little BS yet you conveniently missed where someone called him a Troll:

Am I even close to this assumption ? Nude images will ALWAYS get more comments, and how is the quality of the comments? Usually juvenile like :
HOT!

She's Hot!
Hot pic!
So she's naked, BFD!

Sad...very sad. Howard, it's called Power Hungry Moderator Syndrome. It's where a moderator mis-reads something and jumps to conclusions. It will take another wiser moderator who is actually moderate to fix the situation. It happens here all the time. Keep watching, there is NO Justice on MM.
Now I have made a general statement and am most likely going to be retaliated by the syndrome of which I have explained. I will have to write several emails to the wiser moderators and will be back tomorrow... we'll see what happens... LMAO

Well if that's the case how come half of MM members are not in the brig?
C'mon man, you know that the "uncivilized" posts are all over the place.
I'm sorry Ched but you're wrong, you are wrong on this one.
This is reminding me of certain countried where you can get arrested and in somen cases executed for your beleifs or what you say.
