Looking for models

David — Thu, 03 Jul 2008 17:13:12 GMT

I am looking for models that want to boost their portfolio. I am a professional sports photographer that is looking to expand into other genres, but as you well know its hard to get gigs w/o a portfolio. All shots will be given on a CD and prints can be ordered if wanted. Take a look at my site for work up to date.

Congress is considering the Orphan Works act again!

comixguy — Sun, 13 Apr 2008 18:16:06 GMT

It seems that Congress is once again considering the Orphan Works act. This would change the existing copyright laws to expand what is to be considered an "orphaned work" . An orphaned work is a work of art where the copyright has lapsed because of either on purpose, because of the passage of time or lack of proper registration. It can then be used without your permission for any purpose. Up until now, this has been mostly work where because the artist has passed away and their estate has allowed the copyright to become public domain.

Changes would be to expend this to work by living artists! Artwork that is not registered with the copyright office or with newly created private "copyright registries" will be considered "orphaned" and free for anyone to use. Copyright violators can get exception from infringement suits if they claim to have made a "reasonably diligent search" for the copyright holder.

This is something that would adversely affect every artist currently working today. Artists would have to spend hundreds if not thousands, of dollars each year to register their own work. And this would not even guarantee the same level of legal protection we have today. It would effectively gut any copyright protection we have.

Here are some links to blogs explaining it in more detail.

Photography as Art

Glen — Mon, 28 Apr 2008 03:21:56 GMT

After 17 years as a commercial photographer I have decided that instead of complaining about the decline in photography as an art form I am going to do something about it. Beginning June 7 I will begin hosting experiential photography Treks in the SF bay area and throughout Northern California. The Treks will teach the art of mindfully designing a great photograph. For more information please visit
http://www.nccenterphotoarts.com.

Hope that you will join me - should be very informative, shared with good people and great fun.
Thanks... Glen

Would you like me to model for you????

Miss Lizzy D. Vine — Thu, 06 Mar 2008 06:06:44 GMT

Do you want me to model for you?

Thank you for reading my blog. Hope that the following information serves as some help. I'm looking to expand my portfolio (it's not ellaborately extensive but i think it's enough to stand on :) ). I'd like for my modeling to evolve to a new level. I'm fun to work with and can provide references from photographers that have worked with me at your request.

If You Are A Photographer:

Ideally I would like to do work for compensation at a reasonable rate. I'm very affordable. Just Ask. If You Would Like Me To Model TFP/TFCD Work Depending On Shoot Concept And/Or Actual Photographer I am ok with that too. It Never Hurts To Ask. :)

If You Have a Clothing and Accessory Company
If You Would Like Me To Model Your clothing/apparel and or accessory lines I'd be more than happy to discuss that as well... Please Contact Me Regarding Compensation. However, more than likely I'll be a happy girl trading time for merchandise. But, again it never hurts to ask.

Models wanted

Gared — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 19:56:15 GMT

Hello, I am looking for female models for my creative photography projects. I am working on a few projects that involve creatively editing the photos after the shoot to create un-realistic and artistic effects. Some of the projects involve tasteful artistic nudes, and others only involve implied nudes and/or sheer outfits. If this is within your comfort level and if you are interested, please respond.

Thanks,
Gared

posting suggestion

pyrokitten — Thu, 21 Feb 2008 09:58:23 GMT

when you're posting a "models wanted" post it would be really helpful if you put your location in the subject header. also it would be useful to include the following in your post: what kind of compensation you're offering (pay, TFCD/TFP, travel expenses, etc.) and a link to several examples of your photography.

this is just my opinion, but i think the more specific and detailed your posting is, the more likely you are to get responses.

gender-queer models?

tihani — Wed, 20 Feb 2008 05:33:26 GMT

anyone have any leads as to who or where in SF would be in need of gender-queer models?

just beginning to get into modeling after i was approached on the street by three photographers all looking to build their portfolios. two students and one pro, all said i should consider modeling part time. as i am always broke, i am looking to build my portfolio as well in order to get some paid gigs in the future. only thing is i don't fit typical requirements for male or female models. i have had a couple more TFP gigs via Model Mayhem, but thought i would ask around tribe as well. any suggestions greatly appreciated.

Photographers and Models: opinion needed, glamour photography

beautyinthebreakdown — Wed, 06 Feb 2008 02:05:16 GMT

Photographers and Models,

I am writing a process analysis essay on the process of photographing models and getting the best out of your shoot. As a photographer, I have learned the most about shooting subjects by modeling for professional photographers who knew how to direct amateur models, and from professional models that teach the craft of modeling. Please offer any advice or info about your personal process. I can use all the input to put together a sequenced process of tips of the trade that will help and inspire both professional and amateur models and photographers alike!!

Professional Photographers:
What are the key directing points you use in making your models feel natural, comfortable, and at ease.
What are some recourses that have influenced you, that you think could help others?
Preferences? Tips? Posing? Attitude?

Professional and Amateur Models:
Can you describe some experiences with photographers that have made you feel comfortable or
otherwise?
What are some strategies you use in a shoot to produce the best product?
Resources? Advice? Posing? Attitude?

Thank you so very much! any input for sharing is greatly appreciated!
Shanna

Aberrant behavior-auditions saturday the 19th 2263 mission (between 18th & 19th) 3:30-6:30 (Also looking for crew)

Jason — Wed, 16 Jan 2008 12:51:25 GMT

'm making a film, that will be somewhat explicit in parts. Also, there will be imagery that needs nudity.
I am afraid that I will not be able to cut the content of the movie script, even if I find actors interested .You can e-mail me with rates, photos, questions, etc. If your an actor or actress who has worked in nudity and/or sexual situations, is comfortable with it, and would like to take on a feature narrative film as a major role please e-mail me or show up to the auditions. The two main roles are the ones that require it but there are others. If you would like to be featured in sequences that do not involve the main characters, but are part of dreamlike imagery (that features nudity/partial nudity)you can either show up to the audition, or e-mail me with link to your work. Best place to e-mail:
theperiodmovie@yahoo.com

Here is the plot:
Aberrant Behavior, is basically about two self destructive anarchistic-y street kids who have an exaggerated form of pica, a disorder where people feel compelled to eat non-food materials, carpet, dirt, soap, drano, various chemicals, etc. as portrayed as a drug addiction. Who are in a very self destructive relationship, there perfect for each-other except they literally kill each-other by being together. A lot of psycho-sexual/self mutilation-masochism in this one.There's more to it, but that's the basic synopsis.

Keep in mind the budget of this movie will probably stay around 25-35, 000 dollars (already secured), so just warning I can't pay the highest rates

Thanks-
Jason

Here is the original posting:

I have a new movie called "Aberrant Behavior" auditioning Sat. 1/19 3:30-6:3- at the Dark Room SF 2263 Mission off of 19th and Mission@ 3:30 - 6:30. (My first movie "the period" came out through Sub Rosa Cinema can be seen/bought at Netflix www.myspace.com/theperiodmovie as well as various other outlets)
Aberrant Behavior, is basically about two self destructive anarchistic-y street kids who have an exaggerated form of pica, a disorder where people feel compelled to eat non-food materials, carpet, dirt, soap, drano, various chemicals, etc. as portrayed as a drug addiction. There's more to it, but that's the basic synopsis. If you can't make it to the auditions, you can send me a head shot with resume, or whatever you want. We can then decide when and where to meet.

I will be hiring for many roles, all ages (over 18) races, sizes, etc. But here are the main characters:
Main Characters:
Victor Muertos: (Mid to late twenties) Half Mexican/Half white (Half latino/half white will probably work). Black hair, down to chin and five o clock shadow. (Flexible though). Tall and thin but not too thin.
Dark, brooding, depressed, prone to long winded sarcastic, cynical rants. Living off the state for mental depression, and addiction, but eventually breaks himself from the state. He hates the state, and normal life in general. He hates almost everything. He is sort of sloppy hipster, slightly emo, slight slight slight goth meets street kid. Light or no body mod, piercings, etc. He eventually lives on the street because of choice.He falls in love with Aiko.

Aiko Zumbi (18-early twenties or look like it) Half Japanese/Half German (or Japanese, or half Japanese/Half white). Shorter than Victor, thin but still slightly curvy.
Street kid with a bit of dark hippie. Has been sexually abused as a child. Prone to violence. Prone to long winded rants, or sometimes just total silence. Dark, cynical, with a very bleak view of life. Body mods, tattoo's, piercings, fine. Dreaded or colored hair fine as well. Actually preffered.
She falls in love with Victor.

Emma May (20's to 30's) Actress must be thin, because character is anorexic. Very fake, superficial, manic laughing. Very self deluded. She doesn't really see her anorexia as a problem, she think she looks great though she's obviously dieing and goes to extremes to keep herself thin. She is always dressed up elegantly and thinks of herself as a proper lady even when doing something grotesque . She is a head executive at a advertising/pr firm that she gets a Victor a brief job at, through meeting him in a class over there mutual addictions. (Brief Nudity /Partial a few times)

Caseworker Joe (30's-40's) Written has hispanic, but open. Larger guy, tall, built like a shed, a bit fat but not flabby fat. Very coarse, to the point, direct "Take no shit" kind of guy. Very normal, buys into the whole big house in the suburbs, good job, etc. He is Victor's Caseworker, and is tired of Victor's Shit, and believes he is not trying to quit. (None)

Glitters- a gay gangster rapper, take everything that's a cliche and horrible about it and flip it so that it's gay (some, will also need male models)

Pedida Muertos-Victors Mother. A nearly catatonic morally apprehensive drug addict who's always sleeping with random guys and ignoring her child (Some nudity/sexual situations can be negotiated to less)

And then random visuals, nudes for some flashback scenes (of some sort of psuedo porn the main characer shot) a girl that Victor sleeps with before he falls in love with Zumbi (requires brief nudity/sexuality) and some body part imagery that will not feature the face of the actor/actress, among other thing

I need before I even start:
Prostethetics/Makeup- There are many parts of my movie that need gore, ghoulish makeup or creating body casts for dreamlike effect (like a scene where they fall onto the ground and break like porcelain blood-paint spraying out of them creating a heart) but most importantly I need someone who can help make someone look anorexic, eye sockets reccessed , hips sticking out, ribs sticking out, shoulder blades, etc. I can't start without this because it's one of the main characters.

Boom-I have someone lined up for operating boom/mixing sound, but I'm not sure he'll always be available. I need someone who has at least some experience in this to help. I have equipment but having (better?) equipment would be great.

Props- It would be great to have someone who can assist in creating edible (or non toxic) chemicals, substances, materials for the main characters to ingest. It would also free me up to think about other things.

Lighting/ Art Department/ Set Design/Decoration/Locations- I need someone who can do a lot without a lot who can work with unusual materials. Who isn't too expensive or I won't be able to afford you. Also may be able to transform other locations into desired location.Things needed for instance underground bomb shelter turned into run down sorta apartment. Abandoned buildings. Offices. Fashion Show. A sewer, where the characters live in and eat off of trash.

Original posting:

Set Decorators/Builders:
Though the majority of the movie will be in real locations. There will be a few sets built, and sets that will be decorated to fit the movie. I am looking for people who have experience building sets (theater experience would be great) on a low budget. Resourcefullness in materials is needed (Meaning you can do a lot with not a lot). Building flats, painting, decorating.

Prosthetics/ Make-Up: Though this is not a gore horror movie. There is quite a few instances of gore. People who have experience in mold making, prostethics, sculpture. etc. would be very helpfull. Also people good at making people looking sickly or malnourished through make-up needed. In addition Emma May, the severe anorexic will need added pieces to protrude her brows and jaw, her ribs, collar bones, hip bones, etc to make herself appear much thinner. Actually a lot of make up needs from simple to complex through out the movie.

Vfx-Compositors- Though this will not be a special effects epic, there will be things needed. Good flashy two animations/composting for some of the fake commercials/promos. Possible fire and underwater animation. Some manipulation of the video -color fluctuations, shrinking an enlarging, simple morph effects, color globules to represent visual aberrations in the characters eye-sight. Some 3-D needed especailly those who are good working with modeling human figures. But mostly more simple 2-D basic 3-D stuff. I may do this myself, but send me a link to your work, and I might hire you for the movie.

Props: I will be doing much of this myself, but may need help in re-creating chemicals, materials, such as drano, soap, dirt, carpet, many other instances through-out the script, to create realistic looking edible (or at least non toxic ) substitutes for the substances they swallow.

Mechanical/Puppetry- Not needed for a lot of the movie. But there is a few scenes with Emma Mays giant snake like tape worm that slithers around. Also a scene where skull bowls start vomiting (have to read script to explain) Could do myself, just seeing if anyone else might be interested.

Lighting Designer: Though I will likely take over this role myself, and a lot of the footage will be shoot in the streets style. There will be a few locations that will be staying in for a long while in the script, and would like good, stylized lighting for maximum creepy effectiveness.

Costume: I already have a few people on board for this, but as this movie ends in a big Valentines Day Fashion Show. I am looking for people who could be commisioned for clothing for that event (and other sequences in the movie as well). Also, previously made pieces could work.

Underwater Camera- Anyone who would like to rent me an underwater camera, or who has experience filming underwater, this is needed for a few sequences.

Boom Mic/ Sound Mixer- I already have someone onboard for this, but never hurts to have a second position, or a backup

Pyro/ Fire Safety/Explosion - This really isn't needed for a lot of the movie. But there is one scenes where a whole room catches on fire (with possible stuntman that catches on fire, I made do this in special effects). There is another scenes where a home-made bomb blows a crack into a wall and makes it crumble. I want these scenes to come off effective and safe.

Security- Not throughout the whole movie, but there will be scenes where I will be filming in potentially dangerous locations, and a climax that will need crowd control

Legal/ Locations- I will probably do this myself, but if anyone has experience in finding or knowing of great locations, or securing permits for locations. I might be interested in working with you.

Production Assistants/Co-Ordinaters (I am sure you know what this means)

Music- I have most of the music worked out. But a band fell out that I really felt I needed for some sequences. If your music is post -rocky, slow core or has that aphex twin meets godspeed you black emperor I may be interested. The kind of bands I'm looking for: Mew, Godspeed you black emperor, Explosions in the sky, Spiritualized, 65 days of static, Sigur Ros. Also in some music Portis-Heady could work.

Thanks
-Jason

Male and female models needed for film noir paintings

ewik — Tue, 11 Dec 2007 03:07:42 GMT

I am doing a series of paintings inspired by film noir. I need a couple of female models and a couple of male models that can do the film noir look, hair make up cloths. The plan is to tell a story of love sex excess and murder that will evolve from painting to painting. In the end I will be putting them together into a book. This is not a paid project but It will be a good credit and the work will be seen. I have art in collections world wide and have all over the US.

Hi! New gender-queer model looking for photographers...SF Bay

tihani — Tue, 13 Nov 2007 21:39:39 GMT

I recently modeled for a photographer who stopped me at a concert, she asked me if I would pose for her in exchange for prints/CD. I had fun, the photos came out great, and I am looking to get more modeling work to build my portfolio or earn extra cash. I modeled for one other photographer before, and both times I was told that I was easy to work with and should consider trying to get more modeling gigs. Problem is that it seems difficult for me to find photographers who are looking for an androgynous grl-boi type. I am 5'9", slim, present myself as female but no/minimal hormones so I am male-bodied. I uploaded the photos from my recent shoot in my profile, they're the first five pics. If you know anyone who can use me, please let me know! Thanks

We've had a photo blocked - What do we do?

regfoghorn — Thu, 04 Oct 2007 18:09:42 GMT

So I got a message from the TOU team of Tribe saying that one of the photos posted recently has been removed from public view.

Personally, I don't have any problem with the picture, and I can see part of it in the photo management view, but I don't think it is visible in the photo album.

Should I protest to the TOU people and ask for it to be released? This tribe is as much about art and showing our work as it is about connections.

Thoughts, anyone?

Los Angeles> 8/25 Saturday 12.30-4.30pm at the LA Gay & Lesbian Ctr. (1125 N. McCadden Place)

Full project details here> http://www.divine-eye.com/penis_stories.html

Looking for a Fetish Photographer.

DommeFemme — Wed, 08 Aug 2007 08:12:55 GMT

I have found a kick ass studio, I am paying for all the costs of the studio.
I just need a professional photographer that works with a Digital SLR with a connection to a lap top so we can view the photos.

I am interested in a TFP/TFCD (Trade For Prints/CD). That is, the model doesn't have to pay the photographer, but gets material for their modeling-portfolio; and the photographer doesn't pay the model, but gets material for their photographic portfolio. These are for portfolio use ONLY, unless separate arrangements are made later.

It's a good way to build a portfolio -- a good deal on both sides. For newbies to the arena, it seems to be invaluable. Also, a good way to build a network; word DOES spread; photographers talk to photographers, models talk to models. Having a rep for professionalism can make the difference between getting a paying gig, and not.

Let me know if you are intrested

treja — Mon, 23 Jul 2007 22:33:44 GMT

So, twice now I have found my photos on websites that arent giving me OR the photographer credit and have them displayed without permission. The first time I contacted the webmaster and they replaced what they had with a file I sent them, this second time no reply whatsoever from this other website. Its on darkcasket.com. They provide tags for your myspace page and they have 2 of my photos and have not removed them since I emailed them nor have they replied to my email. What the next step? Its exciting when I hear someone tell me that they saw my picture posted on some random persons page, but when my name isnt attached to that picture, it doesnt benefit me at all.

website template for selling photos?

H-man — Fri, 29 Jun 2007 20:46:59 GMT

Anybody have any recommendations for/against a website setup for selling photos?

I would strongly prefer something that does not require Windows.

If I can find a useful "service" that can affordably handle it all I'm fine with that. While I can probably handle an online store that will cause a print to be made and then mailed to somebody, the sites I have found that do this seem to be averse to including any nontrivial nudity.

I'm also not sure how significant it is to customers if the get only a print from me and frame it themselves or if enough of them will want the photos mounted, matted, and framed.

Unique TFCD Opportunity ~ Kinky Group of Women/ Trans Folks Seeking Photographer

Sat, 28 Apr 2007 05:28:04 GMT

Basically, I belong to a group of people (mostly queer, all very kinky and unique looking) who share a space in the East Bay (S.F. Bay Area) and offer professional BDSM/Fetish/Fantasy sessions in a safe, caring, environment. Everything we do is legal and we are very low key. (I travel often, I'm based in L.A. and play in several cities but whenever I am in S.F. I play with my friends there).

We are looking for a photographer who is either a student or a talented amature who is interested in expanding their portfolio. We would like all of the photos to highlight the best qualities of each unique person but be uniform in quality and look professional/ finished.

We would like someone who is committed enough to work with all 15-20 of us through three or four days of shooting.

You don't need experience in fetish/ bdsm photography but you must be EXTREMELY open minded and easy going about seeing what some people may think of as "weird" stuff.

At the end of the project you will have an extremely diverse yet cohesive body of work, hopefully ranging from beautiful head shots to wild and bizzarre fetish scenarios, and we will all have 2-5 shots each for our website showcasing our diversity, unique beauty, and specialties. This would be ideal for you because it will be several willing and free models, many of whom are experienced.

All of us are fun and laid back in general. You should be too (with a strong work ethic as well of course).

If you are interested in taking on this project please send a link to your portfolio as well as a brief introduction explaining your interest in the project and understanding of how long it may take and your willingness to commit to it.

Thanks!

Fairy Models Needed (San Francisco)

DJ Death Squad — Mon, 12 Mar 2007 21:01:34 GMT

Hey everyone! I run a site called Fairy wings and things. I make fairy wings. I sell fairy wings. Only the site has been down now for about 6 months and I need to take ALOT of new photos of my stuff before putting it back up. I'm looking for some local models who would be willing to work for trade (I don't tend to make much off the wings as it is, and so don't have a lot of cash to spread around), dressing up as fairies, modeling wings, and generally producing some interesting images which would be great for your portfolio. I'm also looking for a photographer who is versatile and reliable (the last photographer I picked ended up canceling the day of the shoot and I had to take the photos myself) and willing to work for trade or something we can work out in terms of payment. The website is www.fairywingsandthings.com. If you're interested please take a look! Still interested? Send me an email at fairywingsandthings@gmail.com including some photos of yourself (or your work) and a message saying why the project might interest you and your availability.

Photographing Great Intimacy - Seeking Documentary Subjects

divine_eye — Sat, 24 Feb 2007 08:55:39 GMT

Hi all,

I'm working on a documentary digital still photography project (http://www.divine-eye.com/projects.html).

I'm currently seeking documentary subjects of broad demographics to photograph w/regard to the theme of intimacy.

Some ideas:
- People who love each other during or after an intense argument
- People comforting each other (e.g. at gravesite along highway where friend had accident or something like that)
- Someone unselfconsciously picking at his/her toes, zits, or nose in a comfy environ with friend/s or family
- Relationship between homebound senior or person with chronic illness and caretaker
- ???? Surprise me

If this project speaks to you and you'd like to be photographed, please contact me and let me know a bit about yourself, why you feel drawn, and what you're picturing my capturing. I have shot many 20-30 year olds so, at this time, have a strong preference for people outside this age range and who are not model types.

Thank you!

online galleries with sales option - success stories ?

Maxx — Sat, 10 Feb 2007 21:18:10 GMT

I feel kinda lonely without my dSLR but money is quiet tight these days and thought maybe I can finance the repair
(got a quote from Olympus) or even a new camera by selling photographs I have taken before. Need to mention that
I never had a chance to showcase my work and so it's an experience for sure to see what other people think .....

I'm sure there's tons of webpages out there (started googling already) where artists - not only photographers per se -
can showcase their work and also at the same time offer their works for sale.
As always there is upsides and downsides and so I am wondering

Does anybody have any experiences selling their photography that way .... ?

You can PM me or respond in this forum, pretty sure I'm not the only one having that thought once in a while to share
their point of view with others the way I'm looking into right now.

Thanks for reading and hope to hear from you

SF East Bay area - Need location to shoot discreet work 2/3 or 2/4

UCPhotog — Mon, 29 Jan 2007 05:56:07 GMT

Bay area folks,

Know of a place to shoot some discreet work (indoors, but if you know of a great outdoor location, I'll be looking for those for the warmer weather as well)? Hoping to find a place between Oakland and Milpitas, and out to Pleasanton (hoping closer to Oakland). Possibility of shooting in San Francisco as well. I know the hotels, etc. but those are so boring for backgrounds, etc. Looking for a place to shoot, and will need to shoot for about 2-3 hours. Well lit, and of course it needs electrical for the equipment, etc. Can't afford too much - this is a shoot for her website and she's not raking in the money yet.

Come on you kinky lot - I know you'll come through for me.

Thanks,

Marc aka UCPhotog

Large format developing

Mike — Sat, 13 Jan 2007 20:16:46 GMT

I have a digital photo that I want developed. It is 6" high by 40" wide. I have not been able to find someone who can do it well. Marin and the Oakland/Berkeley areas would be most convenient to me. Help! It was supposed to be a Christmas present and I've had nothing but trouble and disapointment.

Check out the runway competition on StarCast.com. My faceoff started today, so if you can spare a minute, please vote for me! There are some very talented, local models in the contest.

An Opportunity...

monicadahl — Mon, 08 Jan 2007 06:02:23 GMT

... To really make one SF Bay Area Model's YEAR - That would be me. I did this modeling competition at the end of October 2006. The winner gets $10,000. I REALLY want to win this thing. If I do, I can start up the business I've wanted to start up for the past few years. Please check out the website "http://www.starcast.com".

My "face off" is the first one. It runs from January 7th until midnight on January 14th. Live on the site NOW... For your viewing pleasure (and comic relief) are videos of me and my face off foe (actually we had no say in who went head-to-head with whom), Carly, both being interviewed by Nicole (the talent director) plus footage of our first SAAAHSHAAAAYs down the catwalk in our "Formal" outfits.

Votes are cast by sending a text message from your mobile phone to: 90430. The body of the text should read "STAR1". You'll be sent back a text to confirm that you want to cast the vote and you understand that it will cost 50 cents to do so. The fifty cent charge is added to your phone bill.

What might you get out of this you may be wondering...? Well, the good thing is that EVERY vote you cast (for me or anyone else in the competition), counts as one entry into the site's WEEKLY drawing for a NEW Video iPod. So at least there's a little more incentive to help out a complete stranger (unless I DO know you, that is...) win some contest.

Thanks Photographers and Models of Tribe. You're the best. :)

GOT LOCATION? Need indoor location for this Saturday, 12/9....Bay area

UCPhotog — Wed, 06 Dec 2006 07:00:59 GMT

Hey folks,

I've got a friend who wants to sit for my camera, but she wants a 'romantic' background such as a nice bedroom or a living room with a couch... something where she'll be able to lay back a bit.

Anyone got something like this that you'd be willing to share? It would be myself and 2 lights, plus her and possibly another friend. I'll bring my own extension cords, so it won't be wrecking your place.. Do you know of a studio that might have some open time this Sat ? She's traveling to get here, and will only be in the bay for a day.

Let me know - it would be greatly appreciated. If you can, send to my email at ucphotog@ucphoto.net.

Thanks greatly.

SEEKING A UNIQUE HEADSHOT

MissRosie — Tue, 05 Dec 2006 10:00:50 GMT

Hi all,

I'm looking for a talented photographer who can help me create a unique headshot and possibly some costume images for the website I'm developing. I'm a performance artist, and am striving to create an electric image through these photos.

Please let me know if you're interested, and where I can see your work on the web.

Cheers!

Glamour/portrait workshop in SF?

Olivia — Sat, 02 Dec 2006 05:03:11 GMT

A friend was telling me that he heard of a monthly workshop in SF that has about 4 models set up in different sets and has about 12 photographers that revolve around the stations. Does anyone know anymore about this or have any other info? It's *not* "Bob's Model Hangout" in SJ.

where to go for inspiring photography books

divine_eye — Thu, 30 Nov 2006 21:26:50 GMT

hi all-

when i was at USC grad school of cinema-tv, there was a library of photography books you could check out or flip through. it was always really inspiring and thought-provoking to explore.

now i'm in the SF bay area and wondering

(1) where to go to be able to borrow or flip through books

(2) who some of your favorite, inspiring photographers are. URLs and photo book names would be great. if they're a commercial or documentary or whatever type of photographer, let us know too.

thank you,
antonia

Fauxred — Sun, 19 Nov 2006 06:18:07 GMT

Hi there fabulous and glamorous people :)

I will have a couple weeks free in mid-December, and was wondering if anyone was interested in doing a shoot with me? I'm a tall model, interested in doing some retro fetishy pin up work, or glamour or fashion work... If you have any ideas, drop me a line. Let's talk!

Have you been to SF Future Light Classes?
