How do I find Black models (primarily women) in Canada who'll pose nude? Ad-writing tips would be much appreciated as well.
Also, if there are any tips on screening out divas and ppl seeking porn, that would be great. I'm no prude but I want models who'll understand that the photography is for art only (I'm a painter). Also, how much should they be expected to get paid per hour? And, are there any websites I should check? I need women of various sizes and shapes and ages. I'll only need 1 male. |
Join onemodelplace.com, netmodel and modelmayhem - you can search fairly specifically from there, which will save the ad writing, by simply using a ticker to say you are interested in working with someone in particular.
The models will have their own rates and some may work TFP (time for prints) or TFCD (time for CD).
You can state your requirements when you get correspondence, which will act as your filter but I am sure even porn models will be quite happy to do some art images - divas are another matter and their folios should give the secret away, with a long list of demands and requirements which should get your Diva-dar bleeping! |
Why most nude models you see in the net are naked but wearing black ankle strap heels? Have you notice that in posters, tv, and web sites... where nude models are nude but still wearing always strappy black heel sandals?
why is that? |
These heels make your bare legs and butt look better (longer and tighter) when you're posing naked. They also call attention to your bare feet, and there are lots of guys out there who are into that.
Bottom line, the photographers and photo editors are catering to male fantasies and attempting to give the guys what they seem to like. |
How does one go about removing unflattering blemishes from black and white nude photos? i have a model for my black and white nude photo study. her stipulation is that i remove and unwanted c section scar and maybe iron out a few unflattering features. any quick tips on how to photshop this out? |
1. The model does NOT dictate what is left or removed on the shots unless they are paying for the shots.
2. if you want to "touch up" the shots then use the clone tool or similar in an editing programme. It is a very basic function. |
I want to pose semi nude in white mens magazines like maxim and fhm, will being 1/4 black hurt my chances? I know that white magazines pay way more than black ones, plus the models get more recognition. I am greek/italian and 1/4 black and I love white guysI want to pose half naked in their magazines. I am 5'8 and 125lbs my measurements are 34b-24-35, Do I have a chance or should I lose more weight? |
| No, it wont make a difference, Also most white men like women of other races to. |
Is there a web site that features Black models. Like a tear sheet of all the models, who are Black.? Looking for a listing, with pictures, of Black male and female models. High fashion only. No nudes! |
Try doing a model search on model mayhem, one model place, or explore talent.
You can usually email the model directly after you view her port and info. Alot of models on these sights are looking to build a stronger port and will do tfp/tfcd |
Does anyone know anything about the pricing for nude modeling? I have been asked to model nude for a limited realse Eu. black and white photo book. Any ideas on the going prices. |
| You decide what your worth. It's supply and demand. If the photographer and publisher want you bad enough, they'll pony up. You might want to ask about a contract for any royalties from sales, particularly if a later printing or edition is released. And get the sitting fee up front. |
Where can I find big-breasted models to photograph for nude/semi-nude art portfolio? I will pay? I'm a semi-professional photographer trying to build a portfolio of black and white photos of the human body. Yet, I am having trouble finding the women I am looking for. I DO NOT WANT PORNSTARS, I want normal, natural, curvy women whom are comfortable posing for artistic photos. The pic can be anonymous and faceless and I am willing to pay rather well. |
| Model Mayhem is your best bet - they will specify on their profile what level of nudity they are comfortable with (if at all). You may also want to enquire at a local college Art Dept to see if they have any life models who would be willing to model for a photo. |
Black/african american models/people please help.....? I'm a part time black model. I'm not trying to be Tyra Banks or Naomi Campbell. I'm just trying to make some decent extra money on the side. The problem I'm running into is I refuse to do nudes, swimsuits, and lingerie shoots. I'm a married woman and I believe only my husband should see me like that. But after looking at other black model's websites and portfolio sites I've found that that's all everyone wants. Every other girl's portfolio looks like a spread from Smooth or Maxim with their butts in the air w/thongs on. I haven't gotten many jobs because my portfolio lacks those types of photos. I love taking pictures and meeting all types of great people in this industry. Why can't I just be a regular model with clothes on? Why do I have to be a "booty" "video chick" model? Should I give in because that the business or just stick to my guns? Or am I just looking in the wrong places for jobs? |
| I so understnad where you'e coming from. I'm just 16, and I went to a couple of agency and I had gotten a lot of offers to do swimsuit modeling. I wante dto do runway and sopisticated stuff but the lady at the agency told me that I would have more sucess as a "men's interest model" and she was telling me "that's how Tyra Banks got her start in modeling."That's why I gave up modeling. I barely got any jobs. I wanted to be like Iman, or Liya Kebebe. |

If you want to apply at Suicide Girls, read their contract first, its pretty binding; as in they own your look, if you do any other modeling work you have to use your SG persona. If youre ok with that though it might not be a bad idea to apply, if nothing else its a ton of publicity. but the fact that youre posting this here really puts a damper on your professionalism, try looking into online communities that are specific to that scene, youll get more reliable advice and your name out to the right people. good luck!
edit: I looked at your pictures, they would defenately accept you! the whole point of SG is to have a variety of models, dont be so hard on yourself! |
