Thanks
Which one? The one on my back says "Timere nihil imita" which means "Follow nothing blindly". The one one my tummy/waist is a horseshoe for the Indianapolis Colts and my horse. And the one on my left ribs is a fleur de lis for my dog Zsa Zsa because her name is Hungarian for "lily" and fleur de lis' are royalty's lilies. Oh and just to cover them all, I have one on my left hip of a crescent moon and bow and arrow with a vine wrapped around them.

Lol. No, I'm not addicted to tattoos :p

I don't pay, I do modeling on the side and typically do what are called TFP or TFCD which is Time for Print/CD. If you go on modelmayhem.com or even flickr.com and look around your area for photographers, youll find one willing to shoot you and your Mini for free

Your photos look amazing!
I don't know if I'm model material but I will check out the website and see if there is anyone close by.

I asked a "friend" and he wanted to charge me $150. Not willing to pay that for a car that isn't even finished being modded yet. I do have a friend that does photography on the side a bit, but we can't seem to find a day that we're both free. :(

Thanks.

Why do people always expect photographers to work for free?

I don't know how the rumor that we're all independently wealth got started, but we're not. We have bills to pay too.

Would you ask your mechanic to work for free in exchange for "exposure and future business opportunities?"

I think photographers who are willing to do TFCD work are the ones causing the problem. 1 person does it, and then everybody else is expected to do the same thing.

Just sayin

Uh and on the flip side, I as a model, should be charging photographers whose shots of me have been featured in newspapers and galleries. Yet I don't. There's definitely a time period of building up portfolios and I would NEVER ask a photographer to shoot my wedding or any other thing like that for free.

Well, photographers don't usually pay models, the client (or whoever is paying the photographer) does. The big exception to that is if a photographer is selling photos as stock or if it's a personal project for the photographer.

I do think that models deserve to be payed just as much as photographers do tho. It just sucks that there are people willing to work for free because it makes it sooooo much harder for the rest of us to make a living.

Understandable. For some it's just a hobby.
My "main" photographer is hooking us up with a magazine gig though so I may only do paid shoots when/if those shots get published.

Haven't really figured that out yet. Switching back and forth between a lot of things and taking my time deciding.

To the lady in the photos:
Do not pose for this photographer ever again!
These photos are not flattering to you as a model. I don't know who was responsible for posing, but it does not do justice do either you or your car...
I never saw any other modeling photos of you, but these samples are not something you want to post on public forum, personal album- of course...

Please, don't take it personal: I am sure you are lovely and pretty woman in person but these images....

I happen to like them, this is afterall a CAR forum, NOT a photo or modeling contest or forum. If it where there aint no way they would let my ugly mug contaminate this site.

I really don't give a sh**, I'm showing off the car and those pics are from like 3 different photographers and are more candid than anything else.








Are these shots more flattering? Sorry if this is b*tchy but to diss my photographers like that is not cool so I decided to flood this reply with some of my portfolio

Don't be sorry. This is still a free post board (I hope)...
I am sure you'll get a lot of praise from the NAM fans for your last series of images
By the tone of your answer I see you don't get it, so never mind...

Enjoy your MINI

Thanks for the pics! Might I also interest you in finding the tattoo thread?

Very pretty girl and car. Both with some attitude, too! Excellent.
