Re: camera clubs

There are many models on Model Mayhem who I know support themselves primarily from work they get through that site. They are professionals on the way they work creatively and conduct business.

The majority of the models I photograph either come from that site or have a presence there. I do conduct some business with them through Facebook. Since I work with a wide variety of people, these work out for me.

I prefer to leave the work of finding a model to an agency. They magically send a half dozen people that are as perfect as each other for the job and the client picks a couple and away we go.

Do you really think camera club girls have experience is more what I am saying.  Hell we cast on craigslist.   You would actually be very surprised whom you can find that is very usable from craigslist or MM.

Yes but a whole lot or them are professional models.  We use it all the time for Lancome corporate stuff.   You can even search by agency repped.

Bear in mind that most “models” on Model Mayhem are not professionals, do not work like professionals, and yet will do things like stand on their heads and blow bananas out of their asses. They have mostly had so much smoke blown at them by the aforementioned shooters, that they believe fame to be just around the corner.

Now that we guys are all shooters, any woman who seemingly believes herself to look ’special’, is now a model.

A friend at Canon tells me they have sold 5+ million 5D’s. I’m sure fewer than 50k were bought by pro’s, so…. wannabe’s now populate the photo world.

Yeah you can just go to http://www.modelmayhem.com/ and get all kinds of models tfp or cheap pay.  IF you are going to a camera club to get nude models then you are doing it wrong.
