A Year ago we didn’t see a single professional agency port. Visiting New England and New York we saw many professional images, but no attention to detail, few appropriate images and as I suspected from a local model slinging the bullshit, a very uneventful beginners port and did nt se a much needed stand alone modeling website. No website. No work ethic, smarts, or even a smidge of the career a model could have with our help. No-one can do for a model what we can do in print glamour. Jay the black gentleman on America’s Next Top Model is the only person I’ve known since 2000 that knew what they were talking about. Certainly not their photographer of cast of model crtitiqs who were all serious jokers with no smarts. You may be great t runway but not bright in the least on print modeling otherwise.
I saw ports with no flow or education to the viewer of the models ability and so many dumbass hands near the face In glamour by low IQ togs and models who think because they see a pic that sucks on Instagram it must be good even tho the tog has no career in agency modeling.
You need to have a modeling mission statement, a kick ass website shot by a professional that are so few and far between when it comes to an agency glamour portfolio.
I saw an agency model take down their best image in our review today. Had some nice professional new adds but how many images will you post that showcases old lady bring outfits with a model smile? No model career there.
Overall huge improvement in Boston last few months. What clown tog lets a clown model wear a belly button ring and a bra in ever shot looking like bees have a next up her blouse. The sad part some of these ladies are pretty and so obvious not working to improve their trade.
Do you know where you stand in your agencies pecking order. There is a pecking order that the top 15 or 20 models get the work and other the overflow. This is a smart and must have operations by all agencies. Interesting the models who complain about their agencies are pre schooler smart and wear belly button rings, bras, lean into everything with horrible posture, creases everywhereI was a serious athlete at almost all sports most of my life and great fitness shots are next to nowhere. Serious white light showing, poor posing that has nothing to do with a sport or sport posing. No eye contact, energy and the hair never poses. Sure, a serious all star without the common sense I had at 3. Most of glamour modeling is ALL common sense but few use it and we are talking ghetto togs who have no work ethic or smarts and models just as useless and one today saying she was published in the Log Cabin Shitta press. By saying you are published is telling us you suck as a model so why would anyone pay? Learn your trade clowns and scams. Sick of answering for your low intellelgence and scamming of models. Go check models.com and see how many of the 300 plus millionaire models say they are published even they are. NONE. So dumbasses open a book. for 50 years all 3 Photography associations in the US and 11 in Europe and elsewhere DO NOT consider any publication sold on Facebook or Instagram as Published. So WTF are you to lie and lie to models with your scam? Why none of you clowns can explain the purpose of a model image.
Been shooting at the top of the food chain since the mid 60s. I know my glamour modeling and modeling success than about 10,000 others at least combined. Stop the lies and be a professional!
Growing up if we lied we would be grounded with no friends visiting for 4 months. Got blamed for something I didn’t do around 1967. But if I had a daughter I would hate the scammers I see on Instagram and the fake, horrible, unprofessional 50 or so books on posing which is really WHAT NOT TO DO.
I was watching so many on YouTube and giving posing advice to fashion advice that was crazy dumb asses that fooled many. First off you dont follow trends, you create them and you stick to posing that accentuates all that you do and include mood and head to toe body languages. Great model photography does not come from buying the equipment and renting a studio, It comes from common sense and the desire and learning every day how to improve.
- I saw a beautiful model in a print swimsuit perfect for grandma and a belly button ring that only a joker photographer would allow. About 3 years ago I mentioned it to her and most humans would do research but nope, still wearing ghetto and a no common sense ad known for decades. Next theirs not a sing feature of hers being showcased in multiple phootgraphs, dangling arms to leaning into a lifeguard stand but not seeing it looking like a first day model and tog. Get a real tog people. Instagram is where most shot for fun. The bathing suit section is the worst. .never wear print or embroider clothing unless a thin spring dress. Print hides your features! Smart humans know better. Work towards being smart. Investigate anything you are not sure of.
- I saw a few years back a tall model known in the Boston area living in other parts of the country. Great speaker yet never works towards that end. No web site as I know and a Comp card that sucks with a hand near the face for a portrait. Serious low IQ. Answer why you would have a hand touching the face for a portrait?
- I laughed as she sat with a woman photographer while a video was being recorded. Grandma swimsuit and the model just let this agency model destroy the shoot.
- I offered to help. I am the most eperienced glamour photographer, marketing photographer in New England and any and all I have a==have seen on any site. Incud=ing when Model Mayhem had 3.5 million members and my two models were ranked 1 and 2 and my port #3.\
- Keep in mind if an agency model is working she is not taking pro shots outside the agent port and have a port shot by a start up with the wrong outfits, creases, shoulders and lack of model features. In fact many times her promo has no makeup which is a mush van at all times and any real model will definitely have a model website. No website, just a pretender that sure enough this ones port images in July proved in a major way. You can smile but never look like you are laughing ain a close and have lens distortion on the images posted.
- Boston Never working agency model who told me she left her daytime job because the entire staff said she sucked, was an ass and they could not work with her so she quit, cried and moved back home with mommy. We got along great but I was walking 8 to 9 miles a day at the time and was a ways down the road. No beep, no wave, no do you need a ride which I didn’t for I was getting my exercise walking. I shot a good 15,000 awesome images of this model because I gave direction on how to pose. I received 2 likes ever from this model and yet I made her a model website store she never promote but made $300 for her but no thanks there, just complaining.
- This model wanted me to travel a distance and shoot her and a friend nude on a horse and nude at the ocean and I said no way am I traveling 3 hours round trip so you can play hide the peanut like you don’t like being nude. “Oh I shoot lots of nudes” . Well when I see you aren’t afraid of being nude I’ll make the trip. We shot implied 3 times but never nude.
- On our 10th shoot model asked shoot 11th time and I gave her around 7 or 9 ideas of what we will do. Well 4 days prior she says she has a slow leak in her tire so no shoot. Such a bimbo, one of the worst I have ever worked with since 1966. Too funny is she had some total clown who was clueless shoot her near her home and without awesome outfits. A wasted shoot that appears to take place the day we were supposed to shoot. Shoot had white balance way off besides.
- Well I had been asked over 150 times perhaps why the model doesn’t;t use my images. I said why doesn’t she use the tips I gave her on hw to psose like a pro? Ask her. So this model never gave me one recommendation for the best work on Instagram in New England and when I contacted an agency model to shoot her shot with her regular photographer I was blocked. Really? This model is a scam artist and her X coworkers were nice for she is WORSE than the image they portrayed. this model who had 3 nudes on her instagram, close up vagina and breasts shots who had a fans only page set up with no images yet and her Implied nudes in a contest and at least 3 instagram websites. Serious scumbag and user. Yet bimbo pretend agency models and others must have contacted her for they all worked with her start ups who don’t know how to pose professionally.
- I found out from another model that this scumbag Boston Agency Fitness model stole my ideas. This model had her mom call me three3times. Really BIMBO? You’re 34 or 35 and mommy is calling me for I am using images that are mine and a website that says owned and operated by me making it legal. So some dumbass gets a lawyer with no clue of what he is sending for his statements are for No model release. It was on my friends server so I took it down but I was going to give the site to her like a fool for MAXIM contacted me twice With interest.
- this model working for a fundraiser ran the Boston Marathon in 4:18 or so yet asked her follows to donate and send her to England for a marathon. Who uses people for you pleasure and then show you drinking alcoholic drinks. that is not how classy people treat others. This model lost out on thousands to hundred f thousands if I had helped her. Didn’t appear to remember any of the dead advice a gave during our shoots. So Agendy model.. Did you ask WHO WHAT WHEre WHY AND HOW/of course not, that’s what a professional and non easy model would ask.
- Well there was MASS MODEL HELP who is still on FACEBOOK which his run by fools just like Instagram. There’s been a male model pretending to be a woman for about 16 years. He’s got to be 77 or 78 years old but if my name comes up from the hooker(I’m told) with the pimp(whoo called me) who left her. At 18 was one violation away from loosing her license and she had a hit and run a few days before our shoot,, We got along great , flawless for 8 shoots but her mom warned me she destroys her home and has serious problems besides drug issues. So this porn star wante me not to use MY IMAGES and I said like any pro. Get lost. So out comes a posting that Instagram left up for 4 months despite 81 contacts proving all was a lie. Took another tog sending a cease and desist a she left Instagram but not Facebook where she hammers with lies f anyone asked about me. This model is a thin and commitment several felonies and a federal felony so perhaps our agency star read those lies being the dumbass. There was no name and and the model preteded to be 3 separate models with about 72 lie3s about us in her posting pretending to be 3 models.
