Advice and Guidelines
It's my prerogative to offer some guidance for any model, especially women new to fashion modelling and that is:
-
Firstly, Im not a professional photographer and neither are most, self-proclaimed 'professional' photographers so beware of anyone referring to themself as a professional. Do they have a degree or a Masters in it? Are they shooting for an international brand or magazine? The answer to those questions in 99.999% of all cases will be, 'No, they are not.'
-
Work with people that have YOUR interests at heart.
-
Look at a photographers portfolio before you commit to anything.
-
Think very carefully about what images of you could end up in the public domain.
-
I would advise any model to never, ever take up nude art photography. I'm a massive sceptic about the intentions of it. You will find it's a pervy dude with a camera getting kicks from the fact the model is nude and has nothing to do with the art. Maybe I'm a boring sceptic?
-
If a photographer asks, ''What levels do you work to?'', it should ring alarm bells!
-
Work with a photographer that will make you look amazing with your clothes on!
