Bah.

[Poledra]

With so much modelling talk floating around me and with so much time on my hands (because I'm out of job, again), I'm considering a bold move on my part. (thanks to UL and my friend Emmanuel) This is because I wanna get used to the camera first.
I'm thinking of having a session whereby newbies at portraits can practice... On me. *gulp*
I used to like being in front of the camera. But after taking up photography as a hobby, I became more and more of a shrinking violet, shrinking behind my camera.

Of course, I won't be so professional as zemotion is... Neither am I something of her style.. I'm more like the 'sunshine' kind of girl.
Come one weekday morning/afternoon (or Saturday if I manage to get a job) I'll be willing to pose.

But I do have some requests. I would like the number of photographers to be limited at 5 (or less, if possible), if this thing is pulled off. I'm dreadfully afraid of 10 cameras pointed at me at the same time. And I also do think a person who really kicks ass at portraits should be at the crime scene too. Tho I wouldn't dream of committing anyone not of their own free will......

Okay, what do you guys all think? And most importantly, what does UL/Wolfie think about this?

Well, you know i've always been supportive of what you want to do. I think it's something you can do if you are comfortable enough in doing so.

Best of luck for the shoot.

It sounds easy but i think you better try on a part-time basis. I believe many of us can help you with contacts. Maybe you allow 6 members each time and collect, say $20 each (total:$120) for each session and hopefully you can get 12 sessions a month to start with a new carear. For outdoor, not much of other costs. For indoor, maybe the 6 can share costs for the loan of studio. I am sure Astin can give you a special rate.
I will be willing to participate....
After you have built up a portfolio, then you can then decide what you really want to do.

<<==== Newbie

 

[zaren]

to get used to posing in front of camera...

start off by posing for 1 close fren (someone who is good at portraits/fashion shoots can oso give some pointers on modelling/posing).
then a few close frens e.g. UL/Wolfie.
next ... a small group of CS newbies
finally... a large group of fee-paying photogs.

you can decide your comfort level at each stage.

I'm new too. Can I shoot?

[Poledra]

Wow.
Go to sleep only.. Then wake up to see that response is hot.... I'm so flattered.
Wah... Don't anyhow go start list for me.. There are many things to consider before I go start a list in the Events and Training sub\forum.
Like, who's gonna be my bodyguard? was hoping UL, since Wolfie is so busy. But then again, UL is also so busy.)
Actually, I wasn't thinking of charging. You know, it's actually for like, total newbies.
Haven't really decided on my rate yet. Am I worth anything? :dunno:

You guys don't even have a teacher yet. I'm not that kick-ass person in portraits. And I'm also half-baked in portraits. I can't teach. In fact, I was hoping to learn at the same time, like listen in to conversations.
