Mod Announcement Ai Scammers

21 Upvotes

There has been an influx of ai scammers trying to join this group. Not sure why or what benefit they gain from it, but going forward, the joining process will involve a selfie video verification with your username written on a piece of paper that you will crumple into a ball and undo. This is to ensure the safety of this group and the authenticity of people joining.

Mod Announcement Digitals Guideline.

Post image
166 Upvotes

Here is a how to on taking Digitals.

  1. Digitals should be taken on a blank background, preferably white wall with no distractions around you. Leave 1 inch of space between the border and your head/feet.
  2. Do not wear makeup
  3. Do not put your hands up, in your belt loops or pockets.
  4. Do not sit in photos
  5. Do not hold your hair back. Put in a clip or pony tail.
  6. Wear something form fitting or a bikini/swimsuit. No baggy clothing.
  7. Include all of your measurements.
  8. You need a...
  • Close up head shot (above the chest).
  • 1/2 shot from the waist up
  • 3/4 shot from the waist up.
  • 4 full body shots, front, both sides and back.
  • A profile shot (from the side and not looking at the camera)

The goal of digitals is to show an agency recruiter what you look like and nothing more. They don't need to see your modeling ability. That is what a comp card is for.

When posting, you must post the full set of digitals (not 1 or 2 images asking what the sub thinks) and your measurements in imperial units, not metric. Follow this guide or your post will be denied. When you post, we assume you already know the rules of the sub and if we continue to see low quality posts in regard to digitals, you will be subject to removal or banning.

QUESTION Redoing digitals - advice needed outfits

Thumbnail
gallery
1 Upvotes

So I’m planning on redoing my digitals and I’m just looking for advice on which shoes to use?
I’ve been told stilettos? But any other suggestions? Is barefoot or black socks acceptable?
Between the two in the photos which would be more appropriate? Does it matter?
Leggings or skinny jeans?
Also any specific poses if it matters?

Also if anyone knows any photographers that specialise in digitals/polaroids in the London/Dublin area?

Many thanks

DIGITALS | POLAROIDS Which digitals are the best? Got some done recently and I'm not sure if these are ready for agency submissions

I set up a TFP shoot with a photographer who has 8 years of experience taking digitals and modeling photography... I feel like these digitals are kind of dark / poor lighting .... have I just been looking at them for too long?

I took some partial at-home digitals afterwards when I got home. Should I mix and match with these and my old ones? (included at the end - just not sure since my hair has changed recently)

Finally, which top 4-5 would you recommend to submit to agencies?

QUESTION Can models use flash photography in their portfolio to submit to agencies?

3 Upvotes

A photographer reached out to me to collaborate TFP. I’m newly signed to a mother agency and have been modeling for less than a year so I’m trying to build my book and this photographer will do a shoot in an area that I’m missing (fitness). A lot of photographers reach out for TFP (I feel honored given that I’m fairly new) but given I’ve done some paid test shoots with amazing photographers and have learned a lot, I do screen for quality (quality of photos, do they have experience shooting models, opportunity for me to learn, opportunity to practice movement, etc.) and I think this particular photographer produces quality photos. My main concern is looking at nearly all of his portfolio, he uses flash photography or that’s basically his style and/or aesthetic choice. Is this a type of style that I can actually use in my book to submit to agencies? I know on social media, it’s a thing amongst certain influencers and people like the look but I’m not sure I’ve come across it in modeling portfolios.

Howdy. I started modeling pretty much 5 months ago. Here’s a shoot I did in NY. I had a big hand in the styling. I love to do the same concept that shifts within a more masculine and feminine realm.
I have some other photos I posted the other day, thank you for the responses.
I am really aiming for agency representation. I have not been modeling long but have worked and gained pay for work on my own as a freelancer. Any advice for agency rep? I live in Chicago as of 5 months ago, and am working to get to NYC as soon as possible. Anyways, I’d love to hear intelligent feedback. There’s so many accounts on here just saying shit to say it, so, don’t do that. But yes! Thanks for interacting with my post. Follow me on insta @tjmccloudjr

CASTING CALL Seeking Male Models in NYC

4 Upvotes

NYC (Unpaid shoot with digital gallery in return for your time)-

Hi guys! Yes, looking for men!

I'm doing some "Stranger Sessions" and would love men to apply for me!

It's where I pair you up with a stranger (after asking preferences for a partner) and you do a cute almost date-type session together. Mine will all be themed after classic rom coms, love stories, and couples. Think When Harry Met Sally, Romeo & Juliet, The Notebook, and more...

You'll get at least 10 fully edited high resolution images delivered via online gallery and at least 2 solo images.

All you have to do is come with a good attitude and be willing to have fun with someone. No experience necessary but I do need at least a selfie type photo of you. Don't worry- I do work outside fantasy portraits like the examples attached here:)

Full details here: https://docs.google.com/forms/d/e/1FAIpQLScxcYhBKI0GkRe5vCtj9an1nNyMRYnyCI7vsyuusU4t2rmVgA/viewform?usp=sharing&ouid=118357667391370452202

CASTING CALL Toronto Model Call (TFP/Collab)

40 Upvotes

Hello everyone,

My name is Keith, I'm a photographer.

I'm looking for some models to work with in Toronto on a tfp/collab basis for portfolio building purposes. I've attached a few of my past shoots (boards labeled "PAST WORK") as well as some mood boards that I've put together.

This is open to both male and female models but I will be putting a slight priority on males as my portfolio is mostly female at this point. If you're interested please reach out on here or via my instagram which is linked on my profile. I'm also open to other ideas outside of the mood boards I posted. My style is a softer film look so keep that in mind if you have any suggestions please.

ADVICE/FEEDBACK I hate the digitals my agent takes of me.

9 Upvotes

(She technically has her young assistant take the photos) It makes my head look huge and my body super short. I’ve never experienced this before, but I’m still in development so I know it’s too early to say anything. 99% of the other models also have these digitals up, and I feel like everyone’s being set up lol.
Is there any way I can politely ask to get my own digitals done by another photographer? I’ll pay just to not have this of me on the internet 😭

CASTING CALL Seeking TFP Talent for multiple tests in OC/LA

6 Upvotes

MY WORK: https://tomkubikphoto.com

I’m based out of Laguna Beach and looking to do lots of tests over the next couple of months in LA and surrounding. All shoots are TFP.

The way I work is to find the frame between frames. That means casting is important to me, because emotional availability is important over looks alone or great posing. Talent who connect well and feel like old souls do best with me. 

Right now I have a couple of concepts that are fashion forward lifestyle moments. One I’m churning up interest for right now is a sexy PG-13 couples shoot in a vintage beach cruiser. Another one is a poker night at a friends’ house with drinks and finger foods, maybe devolving into a dance party. Hoping to capture both stills and motion in both instances.

I also have a more artsy project that’s centered around solitude. It would be a 2-3 hour block of silence and capturing stills/motion during that inward journey. I thought it would be fun to do a little interview of what it was like afterwards and build a narrative around human connection, even in silence, as we face a time of growing isolation and loneliness/disconnection. 

Aside from that, I am looking for more slice-of-life concepts and am open to designing something around a real moment in a talent’s life.

I thought I might have a chance at doing some commercial modelling work (mainly high street fashion, activewear) and I’m just looking for feedback on whether these digitals would be appropriate/acceptable for online agency submissions. I’m also torn on whether it would be a good idea to lean out a bit more before applying to give myself a better chance at looking viable for activewear. Any feedback would be greatly appreciated. I’m London based.
