About me
**********************************************

For  fashion shoot,  i prefer to work with models who have decent height or at least got the unique looking face ( Not girl next door type). I don't want shy models (unprofessional) !

Willing to collaborate with some talented and professional MUAs/Fashion Designers/Wardrobe stylists/Hairstylists

**********************************************
When you are my model, i don't expect u are 100% reliable person BUT 200%.  If i have worked with anyone at least 3 times or more, meaning she's one of my top fav models.

Reliable = ON TIME+ ON TIME+ ON TIME + Dedication + Super organized + Great personality + KNOW HOW TO STRIKE THE GOOD POSES + Great Expression!!!!! ( This is just basic thing to someone who claimed herself as an Experienced Model )
************************************************
About me ? I don't have much to say about myself and i am not good in talking about myself either. I don't talk " KISS-ASS Languages " like some another photographers and i love to straight forward in everything.  I believe reading my rules are more important then reading " about me " smile

I enjoy competing with MYSELF as i love what i do !

MORE OF MY WORKS AT :  WWW.BANGTRUONG.COM


*********************************************
                                     ATTENTION !!
     
 
I PREFER TFP (= TIME FOR PAY !!). CONTACT ME FOR RATE !   
       
I DON'T LIKE NEGOTIATION BECAUSE I DON'T SEE IT AS NECESSARY FOR NOW . SHOOT OR NO SHOOT,KEEP IT SIMPLE !

I DON'T LIKE TO SPEND TIME TO DISCUSS IDEAS IF THE MODEL
NOT SERIOUS ABOUT WORKING TOGETHER.
   

**********************************************     
                               
      Experienced or very experienced  models are preferable ( if i do offer TFCD at this moment)! Of course , it also depends on how i like the model. I am an extremely picky person .
     
      As a quality model, she need to be selective who to work with as well !

      If you are an model claimed yourself as an experienced model, please don't disappointed me by showing some cheesy poses or don't even know how to pose !!!
     
      I DON'T WANT ANYONE EDIT MY PICS PLEASE . AGAIN,
READ WHAT I SAID " WARNING REGARDING TO TFCD "
           
      I am the ONLY ONE know how to edit my own stuffs.

      I DO NOT edit other photographer photos when being asked by models ( Can't even pay me to do this, I don't care how much you offer ) . Plus, i don't have the excitement to retouch other ppl works. This is my RULE !

**********************************************     
       
                    Important Notes that you MUST read !

****************************************************

I DO NOT, again I DO NOT appreciated the last minute cancellation from the model except there is an emergency concern and I DO NOT take excuse most of the time. I am super oriented in Timing whenever i do photoshoot. I always on time, i will call to apologize if i ever late in around 10 to 15 mins ( i normally either be on time  or even earlier then the model ). So, i really appreciated if any model that ever worked with me who showed up on time or they called me to notify if they were going to be late in 10 or 15 mins.

Also, i am not interested to photo shoot any model who are under 18. If i have to , RELEASE FORM by my parental guardians need to be signed or bring parents with u.  If i ever refused the shoot, don't take it as personal, it's just my rule smile

**************************************************
             Type of models i don't want to work with !!!
              (  NOT EVEN FOR PAID ASSIGNMENT  !!!  )

**************************************************

1/  Talking or acting like diva when i try to contact them, especially their ports still look like craps to me.  Being bitchy and demanding when i am being super nice ---> This will piss me off and you are not going to like it.
   
2/  Showing up super late (around 30 mins ) ----> Annoying me !!

3/  No show up at the last min w/o good reason ---> This type of people are disgusting !!!! 
******************************************************
                                   READ !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
                 
                    About bringing escort to your shoot

******************************************************
Hello models !

If you are shooting with me at the very first time, please feel FREEEEEEEEEEE  to bring anyone such as friend, bf, husband or wife , your parents, even a body guard  if u think u have to big_smile.  I DO NOT CARE !!! They all are welcomed AS LONG AS THEY ARE NICE PEOPLE !!

Please don't bring any ghetto guy or a jealous kid ( I meant your partner ) who try to act tough. I hate this type of people and i know they are not gonna tougher then me.

Also , don't ever let them disturb or mess around my photo shoot. Otherwise, i will end the shooting right immediately with u and walk away . Cool deal ?  smile
      *************************************************
                         I DON'T PAY MODELS
*************************************************
    I DON'T pay models , i don't have to and i never will. I either expect being paid or TFCD if i think the model can benefit my port.

    Don't ever ask me for gas compensate , travel expense...blah blah blah.  My answer always be NO . If u don't think it's worth ur expense to come to shoot with me. THEN DON'T DO IT ! MOVE ON !

*************************************************
                                     WARNING !!                               
                                Regarding to TFCD !!

I mostly give out a lot of photos , especially the unedited ones. I don't expect my models abuse my generosity by editing their own style and put out to the public with my name on it. This will damage my reputation because i want to keep my own editing style !!

Please don't try to be a genius to make my photo worse !!

Please ask my permission before doing any thing regrading to my edited and unedited photos !!

Everyone MUST respect my signature works and i don't want anyone manipulate MY PHOTOS !!!

Don't wait until i found out sad

P.S: Actually ,  i already found out couple models have done this , i am not gonna mention their names yet.
--------------------------------------------------------------
                         
                   How to i deal with LAST MIN FLAKERS ???

1/ Block them up so that i don't wast my time to let them talk to me again

2/ I do have photographers check ref with me sometimes, of course i will let them know what's up

3/ I might contact all my photographer friends in MM or any photographer i know in order to let them aware WHO is my FLAKER

    IF u try to flake at LAST min and don't even bother to let me know ahead of time ( I DO PREFER AT LEAST 48 to 72 hrs ahead of time ), think twice before work with me !!!   Other then that, i am your great photographer !!
______________________________________________________
                                   Flaker List
Mayhem #1259981  ----> Flaked w/o calling or leaving msg ahead of time

Hopefully I don't have to put any more model on this list of all my up coming shoots

Keep in mind, i also don't take LAST MIN CALLED in SICK as an  excuse as well.

* Welcome to any photographer/MUA/Stylist contact me for details about the flaker.  Feel free to contact me to check reference !!!

I finally read your LOOONNNNNGGG profile. Definitely worth the read :)
Entertaining, funny and it actually gives everyone (not just models) a good perspective to visualize. Not that everyone has to agree with you, but it's good to have it out there.
I praise your bluntness, Bang.

Hi Bang, I'm almost done shooting three days straight ending tomorrow...need to slow down again and edit some pics LOL. Trying to catch up on emails before I go to bed. Loving the new work man, your fashion stuff is inspiring...starting in January I'm going to spend 3 months shooting nothing but fashion, trying to get real fashion models to take pity on me and experiment....trying not to get bored. Have a fantastic week and all the best.

Ah, I too have mastered sleep control. By closing an eye and letting one side of my brain sleep I can continue to work through the night. I switch back and forth every half hour.
