Honestly I shoot females models over males models because I love the female form. Inaddition I do not get any male models hiring me for Photography since the mid 90's. I have shot male models on fashion shoots for magazines but hiring me for a shoot no. If they were the ones hiring me then that is all I would have in my portfolio. Take Care, Robert Perez Oct 15 05 12:18 am Link I am ugly, short, fat and a nerd so I guess I need to stop to shoot men, birds, dogs, horses, cats and do only ladies to see if I get free cute girls pics and get paid. If you want ugly for 2006 I am your guy. LOL Oct 15 05 12:20 am Link Semora wrote: TY! I am the best guy you could have ever dreamed about! haha to be honest, you may not bet on the right horse... I know your problem now Oct 15 05 12:24 am Link Semora wrote: To be quite honest, most of what I shoot is what is attractive to me, especially if it is a test shoot. Oct 15 05 12:47 am Link Miguel A wrote: lol silly! Oct 15 05 07:38 am Link I'll shoot anything can make an image. I'm too old for girls and too immature for women. Or was that the other way... no. Let me try again. Girls think I'm icky and women know I'm icky. No, that's not right either. Do you like pineapple? I'm a hologram, I'm a figment of your imagination. There's nothing to see here. Please move along. Oct 15 05 10:46 am Link megafunk wrote: nah uh. I saw you. And, I'm telling too.

(well, in some cases Oct 15 05 01:57 pm Link My reasoning was simple as a graphics designer it was to costly to keep hiring a photog to do my shooting. Secondly my clientel involves alot of male dancers which my girl shoots now. I'll be dam to look at some 6'5 235lb Steroid looking Chippendale with a 16 inch weed wacker. Ain't happening Ugh!!!!!!!!!! Man pubes Oct 15 05 02:34 pm Link DymeXtreme wrote: We are banning that type of information from here. No mentioning male genitalia. We can talk about women's n'aughty bits' all day long. As a mater of fact, lets do that. But, please no mentioning of mens' privates. ('positively nor negatively') Violation. that's just gross. Ugh!! Oct 15 05 03:34 pm Link Hmm! I got into photography because of my ex-girlfriend who was my girl at the time. She had purchased some cute little outfit from Victoria's Secret and slipped it on in the bathroom while I was sitting in the living room. When she came out, she looked so beautiful I picked up her point and shoot camera and snapped a few pics. (Actually about 3 rolls) We had so much fun shooting and the pics came back great or at least so I thought at the time. From then on I just started shooting more just to see what I could do. I started with women because I think that's what I was attracted to. I think as with any art, you are best at doing what it is you love or are most attracted to. That happened to be women for me. So as time past I just got more and more referrals from females and their friends and no guys worked their way into the mix. I began shooting artistic nude stuff just because I loved playing with 1 or 2 lights and the shadows they created. Men defnitely were out at that point because men around here assumed you'd have to be gay to do something like that. I actually did ask my ex-girlfriend (the girl prior to this) and her boyfriend to pose for some pics and he freaked out so from then on I didn't ask another guy. Now that I'm a professional, I'd have to say that it's not that I don't shoot males because I do or at least would but I get contacted by very few. I think that I am harder on males and I'm really looking for a certain look when searching for male models. A model whether male or female has to move me in some way and I think that with women it's a lot easier to get more moved by natural male/female attraction or bonding then with male/male. I think that my style takes on a glamour feel regardless of what it is that I shoot and I think that it's harder for men to open themselves up to another male and be that playful, sexy, or seductive character and feel comfortable or like it won't be taken as personal interest. With women models, I often get to a point where I find myself questioning whether the model is working or acting off of personal interest. I came into this with it being just business but found that a lot of models do make comments that can be taken as more and a few have even got into asking personal questions about my life or calling just to talk. I don't mind because I love making friends but at some point you begin to wonder how many models are really just on business time by the end of the shoot. I'm sure all photographers get hit on at some point or flirted with and I think that it can be a good thing because it inspires and pushes. I know with me I tend to have a lot better results from models who seem more open and playful then with the ones who come into the shoot quiet and cold. Males have a hard time breaking that ice with each other if they are both hetrosexuals. Oct 15 05 04:41 pm Link I shoot guys, just haven't had any approach me in like, 3 years. *shrugs* Oct 18 05 07:54 am Link Kendal Carr wrote: Kendal, Oct 18 05 11:03 am Link Semora wrote: Does "urban" usually refer to local ("round the way" "ghetto") photographers ? Oct 18 05 11:13 am Link I prefer to, AND have shot ONLY females. I will shoot males, but they have to be doing something other than just sittin'/standing around. I will shoot females doing almost anything. Oct 18 05 11:23 am Link Damn, what happened ? Is it my cologne ? How come er'body is gone now ? Oct 18 05 01:03 pm Link Did they delete my post about harrasing photographers? Oh Well Did I mention I don't like shooting Talley Wackers or men in Tighty Whiteys? My girl shoots all of my Male exotic dancers & I think it makes her a lil horney she be trying to nail me after looking at the oiley men. Oct 18 05 02:42 pm Link |
