I'm an 'advanced amateur' photographer, looking for local models interested in Casual, Swimsuit, Glamour, Retro-Glamour, Pin Up, AND, if YOU are so inclined, 'implied' or nude, TFP work. (Provided, of course, you are over 18 years of age!) (I mean, who am I to refuse to capture you in all your natural beauty!) ;-)
While I have no problem with paying a model, the fact is, if I were to pay anyone, it would have to be after I, myself got paid.
That said, I would have to shoot something worth selling!
Now, as in the past, one sure fire way to get something worth selling is for it to be sexy ... hence the old phrase, "Sex Sells!"
Soooooo, unless YOU care to be VERY sexy, don't expect me to finance your modeling fantasy!
Otherwise, I feel that TFP shoots are very equitable, since the model and photographer gets photos for their portfolios, not to mention the shared experience of the shoot itself!
If you have a laptop, I usually give you copies directly from my camera, otherwise, I'll give you the photos that I feel are good (i.e. ones that are not "mid blink", caught while you are in motion and blurred (in a bad way), or where you are out of focus (Hey, it happens to ALL photographers!) :-(
