Oct 11 05 08:25 pm Link I have no issue shooting with a male model, I include males on occasion in shoots, but everytime I post such an image here, I get so few hits, I just don't bother posting them. Oct 11 05 08:33 pm Link Semora wrote: You ask what was perceived as a sincere question pertaining to photographers and why they seem to selectively photograph female models only, then you slap the people whom took the time to answer your question with thought and not get off topic, by saying to a member whoâs answer was tongue in cheek that his reply was the first honest answer?

Chris was very well recieved by most of the photographers and I think Rick (R. Olson (RO) as well as myself shot photos of Chris that night.

DUHHHH..MAn mm brings out the immaturity in me sometimes. I love it. I'm a proud parent, student, web designer, costume designer, graphic designer, and soon to be photographer. photography won't be my primary source of income. wel..who knows..I web design so i make nice money with that. one site can my two of my bills. one site a month is good. Anyway i was just letting the fella know that it could be a way. some relationships do happen that way. some MM's tend to be very tensed. Thank GOODNESS i don't socialize with some of you in the public. Oct 11 05 09:08 pm Link I shoot male models, BUT they bring the best quality women to shoots so it all works out LOL Oct 11 05 09:43 pm Link I am personally not apposed to working with men or women. Or both at the same time. Or groups .. I don't care. I just like to do my thing. If I make a new friend or contact as a result. All the better. . Oct 11 05 09:53 pm Link I would be more than happy to shoot a male model. It's just my nit pick of whom I would like to shoot. Since coming here there ARE a few I would love to work with. But distance is the downfall.... Oct 11 05 09:57 pm Link I don't usually shoot men for the same reason as alot of others, I just don't find it as visually appealing. I also have no clue as to how to pose a guy to make them look attractive, I just have no frame of reference. When I do use men in shoots, it tends to be for conceptual type work that calls for it, not for typical modeling photos. I often shoot abandoned buildings and will occasionally need to put someone in a shot for human interest. When that happens, I'll usually enlist one of my buddies that happens to be with me, or will set a timer/remote and use myself. I've also taken pictures of men for band promo shots, but that's a whole different animal. If someone wanted me to take glam shots, headshots, or anything along those lines for men I wouldn't have the slightest clue where to begin. Oct 11 05 11:43 pm Link There's plenty of scientific literature out there on the subject if you're REALLY interested in the matter, as opposed to just stirring up shit........then again, this is an MM Forum Post  Oct 11 05 11:47 pm Link I get flack from female models quite often about how I don't photograph male models. Which is completely untrue. I photograph male models all the time. True, they tend to be fishing, drinking beer, or barbecuing...or sometimes riding horses or golfing or shooting. Some of them are handsome, and some aren't. Some have beer bellies and beards and gray hair. In fact, over the years I've actually made more money from shooting male models than female ones, given the nature of my client list. I just don't photograph a lot of what would be considered "hot" male models. Oct 12 05 01:36 am Link I shot flowers and trees and landscape - and then at the beginning of winter decided to shoot people so I coudl continue shooting all winter no matter what the weather... I shoot men and women but women are simply more plentiful. I started charging when clients called asking for promotional shots for thier staff and of course expected to pay. I have actually had more trouble with girlfreinds than I used to have before shooting models - I do it inspite of the negative affect it has had on my love life, because it is what I like to do. Oct 12 05 01:42 am Link When i was young.. Actually the thought of shooting guys never entered my mind... Now that im older it still dont enter my mind... Im not biased and i do shoot guys.. But i would like to shoot some older women and they are even scarcer...

I think some of you need to take what is called a "Chill Pill" and step away from the computer get some FRESH air into those brains. Don't take things so seriously. I wouldn't call it stirring up ish...it is asking for honest opinions. If you don't like the thread...uhmm...leave. How hard is that..keep your one cents worth to yourself and move on with your life..DANG!!! Oct 12 05 08:38 am Link I just wanted to see naked chicks. *sigh* Oct 12 05 08:42 am Link Dan Hood MM/Moderator wrote: Viagra? Oct 12 05 08:43 am Link A lot of photographers I know call male models props.... so who is looking for a prop? Oct 12 05 08:44 am Link I shoot men all the time. It's just finding models of either sex WITHOUT tattoos that is my biggest problem these days.

Men shoot woman because...well...they want to..some men are nervous about photographing the men the wrong way...(someone stated earlier) which i would see y they stay away. I did assume men did it at first to meet girls..but now im finding out other wise..thanks guys/gals. I still think some urban photographers started just to see t&a. Eyecandy on the spot! lol. Some I have spoken with admitted it anyway. Oct 12 05 09:08 am Link I would work with any male model, and I have worked with a few, including my nephew(MM 13786). So far my experience has been that most of the male models that I have contacted refused to do TFP. Some of them had the worst attitudes I've ever seen. Web cam shots or scanned polaroids, but they will only do paid work. The few I have worked with were great guys, and I'm always looking to do more male models as it is something my portfolio is lacking.

Oct 12 05 09:23 am Link I shoot women because I want to shoot women. I shoot landscapes because I want to shoot landscapes. I don't shoot ducks, because I'm not interested in shooting ducks. I generally don't shoot men, because I'm not interested in shooting men. It's my prerogative. It's simple. I'm not trying to get the girl, just the shot. Oct 12 05 09:30 am Link JvR wrote: lol true. If you wanna shoot the sky shoot the sky. If you wanna shoot the lady bug shoot the lady bug. If you wanna shoot bush shoot bush. Oct 12 05 09:39 am Link Semora wrote: Lmao. Umm. Are we still talking about photography here? Because 'shoot' and 'bush' in the same sentence just seems to resonate something else entirely. Oct 12 05 09:54 am Link I've shot men. I've never been fortunate to shoot a really good model though. Plenty of guys look good, they just have no idea what's going on. In my experience, women are curvy, soft and sensual, so you light 'em soft. Men have chiseled physiques, hard characteristics and muscular builds, so you light 'em hard. I've bent the rules both ways and have lit women harsh and men soft. But it doesn't look the same. Now how the heck do you post a picture in one of these here forums? Oct 12 05 09:54 am Link |
And they do call men props..that's funny lol. It would be a different story if they called women props..lol But what someone said earlier was right..there are a lot of men models out there..especially in print, tv..everywhere..
