She needs to be able to think and decide on the fly in situations like that.

"Hanged up the phone"

Okay......[whistling on the way out]

reason I chose an image with no photographer credit was for that sole purpose.

Good way to illustrate the point. She was very close to SOL instead of EMG.

Isn't it amazing how godawful a girl can look with terrible lighting? A photographer once told me 'you could make the most beautiful girl look incredibly ugly with bad lighting". Badass under-eye shadow can so ruin an image, of both the photograph and the model.

Yup, ...its the model that makes the image....

right models?

I'm left wondering how much time the model spent in make-up and wardrobe pre shoot?

How much time elapsed between the two images posted?

What does the model think of her new image(s)?

Does she have a MM profile so we can see more of the new images?

Why is she not posted in your portfolio during the time of this thread?

Bingo Mark, the model is 100% of the image.

In my shoot, 20 minutes in hair and makeup maybe?

I'm not sure.

She says she loves it.

MM 1227. This was a teaser image. She hasn't made her selections yet.

Good question. I have no idea, I like the image but I'm not sure it's "my portfolio" type material. Everything I shoot doesn't make it into my port.

I can tell you that this model showed up to the studio looking just like the girl in the first picture. EMG don't play that!!! I had another model put the braids in her hair and the makeup artist that was there that day was showing me what she had / audition (we did pay the makeup artist) and the result is the 2nd picture.

That's the approach I've adopted, most recently when an agency contacted me to shoot two of their models, and the dates I had available, dates as in plural, conflicted with their minimum wage jobs...  And no problem with that, everyone has priorities, but these were offers with options, well in advance...  After getting "URGENT" and "REALLY IMPORTANT" e-mails from the models wondering if I could do from 1:40 to 3:10 on one day and 12:15 to 1:25 on another, etc., I told the agency they needed to have a serious talk with their models and informed them I am happy to help, just clear the path before they get to me...

If the model can't find two hours of available time with 2-3 weeks advance notice and multiple options, I'm on to the next project...

Yes, b/c you said we would figure it out when i got there becuase you didnt want to plan it.

And for the record, I wasnt giving you excuses. I had been in the hospital 2 weeks before that shoot.

Oh, ok. So it was sort of an ad campaign. I thought it was just some photographer who saw your pic and liked the idea and ran with it,lol.

Thank you very much for answering all my questions. It helps to put things in perspective for some of us Virgos.

Thank you Aprille, I'm happy to hear you had a pleasurable experience with another fine photographer; we all need to hear positive things more often.

I noticed from your portfolio in the first two photos that you seem to be wearing the same make up as in the photo from "EMG studio" that is posted from "MBNY Photo" was that shoot on the same day or are they part of a team of photographers and make up artist that collaborate as some seem to do?

Craig

Ps, sorry for the delay Aprille, I was cutting and pasting as fast as I could

Aprille, you're not upset are you? I emailed you and told you about the post and you've met me so you know my demeanor. So I'm sure you can picture me speaking everything that I've typed.  ;-)
