 ID: 220576 Posts: 95 | Date: 2007-12-03 13:43 Hi everyone, just wanted to introduce myself to the forum, I am a Guatemalan
photographer living in the UK, I moved here four years ago and although I am
mainly dedicated to my career as a mechanical engineer I have manage to take
some time to explore my interest in photography and have shoot a couple of
assignments for websites and personal portraits as well as some weddings and
music concerts.
I have seen many interesting topics posted in this forum and I hope to be part
of them real soon.
Is good to be part of this site and I hope that I will make some friends on
here.
Take care all.

ID: 220576 Posts: 95 | Date: 2007-12-04 20:25 Heather, I have tidy up one of your photos just so you see why I think you
should get some new shots done, photos are not everything but you can make a
better impression with them some times.
This was a quick retouch just to give you an idea. |

ID: 220668 Posts: 8 | Date: 2007-12-05 11:54 But sorry
i'm only 14 and i'm stubborn
i don't like it as much
because my hair isnt like that. i don't want to make a false impression. This is
what you get wiht me...i'm not guna change it.
Plus i do have school to think about too and i know its maybe not the best time
to try and get somewhere in life. but its the time i chose.
ty for the advice, and i do know they look amatuerist, but that is becyase of
the fact that i am.
it was my first shoot i have ever done in my life, and i am personally very
proud of the photos.
sorry if you don't feel the same way,
Heather :]"ILikeMyCoffeeBlackJustLikeMyMetal."

 ID: 209800 Posts: 497 | Date: 2007-12-05 16:47 The advice that you have gotten is good... If you ask people their opinion or
put yourself out there, be prepared to hear things that you may not like. This
business has a lot of rejection-- you'll get it from many in this industry. You
must be prepared to take the negative as well as the positive comments.
Instead of paying for photos, you should look into TFP. This way you do not need
your parents to pay anything at all. Also, your portfolio should show you in
several different outfits and poses. (Just thought you should know.)
When you take pics for a magazine etc. They will do all sorts of editing. Some
you will like, some you won't. But, it doesn't matter what you like-- it matters
what the client wants and likes. You may look very different in some pictures.
Good luck and we'll see what happens!

ID: 220576 Posts: 95 | Date: 2007-12-05 18:40 I am sorry you took the advice that you had asked for so wrong, just to make
clear my critique was to the photographs not to the model, I think some
photographers and models in this site will agree that when you pay good money
for your photos things like stray hair specially on your face an bad balance of
light are not desirable.
Good luck to you anyway, I wish you all success you deserve.

ID: 182744 Posts: 1739 | Date: 2007-12-06 00:04 Remember what I said about youth in another post when a young lady was begging
for people to give a young person a chance to gain some experience?
Recall my answer and suggestion? That there is no problem working with youth if
they will do two near impossible things: 1) Shut up and Listen; and 2) Do as
instructed.
Back talk, back talk, back talk. It just ruins the mood of a gig. And then when
you get irritated and snap at the poor helpless youth, they pitch the attitude
and nothing gets done until you mollify the brat.
Remember, people are paying good money to get you just how they want and need
you. Not how you want to be.
"Plus i think i look younger in the edited photo. which i want to fully
avoid."
Wow, what a statement to make. Models gain weight, lose weight, cut hair, trim
nails, dress up, dress down to be exactly what is needed for a shoot. No one is
going to tell a good client "I want to avoid looking younger" if that is what
the gig calls for.
First hard lesson of modeling life, Heather: It is not about
you...it is all about you.
Homework: I want a 500 word essay about what that phrase means to you, on my
desk, by Friday. Have faith that the universe will unfold as it should |

show all of the outfits i had on the day of shoot.

To my understanding you can post as many pictures as you like from a bronze
account. It is just that visitors and other free members cannot
see more than five pictures. Paid levels can see more with Platinum being able
to see all of them. So, post away!
And if that does not work, upload some pictures to the forum or your blog so we
can see what you are talking about.
I have MUAs who can fix that fringe for you.
You still are not listening and learning, though. Enough with the excuses, ok? Have faith that the universe will unfold as it should |

Heather,
welcome. Yes you can gain a lot from this site, as lots of people with
experience are willing to give up their precious time to answer your questions
and provide critiques. If you get advice that you don't particularly like be
careful not to offend the contributor as they will likely not bother helping you
in the future. Politely thank them and chose not to take their advice if you
feel it is not appropriate. Chances are they may have something to say in the
future that will be helpful to you. We are a small but tight community and look
forward to seeing grow and succeed.

It's always worth getting more done. It's like studying, the more you do the
better you get. These are a good start but in a years time hopefully you will
have progressed to the point that you will not even be considering these for
your portfolio.
