Models with dreadlocks
I love my dreads!!! Ive had them since September. Have been in talks with agencies that have said they will need a variety of shots for a z-card so invested in a wig after contemplating getting rid of them but I just cudnt do it. I haven't had any shoots with my wig as yet but since joining mm in June I have had loads of photographers wanting to shoot with me so keep on pursuing it. dreads rule!! Never forget that. xxx :-) Jul 05 08 05:47 pm Link I didn't have my dreads for that long. I couldn't handle the itch. Talk with Wynd. She seems to have some awesome work with rad photographers even near your area I think. https://www.modelmayhem.com/wyndmulysa Jul 05 08 05:51 pm Link Necromancer wrote: I'm a photographer as well and I would love to work with you...

I'm happy though as we had some rocking shots. Jul 05 08 05:59 pm Link Necromancer wrote: I don't think it takes balls, I would love to.

Geez, as an alt./fetish model one would assume your dreads (which are fucking AWESOME by the way) would work to your advantage. Especially in a place like Cali where things are considerably less conservitive than the rest of the country. Man, that's weird. I don't get it either. 0_o Jul 05 08 06:37 pm Link Nothing wrong with dreads, and they aren't all that uncommon over here on the coast. Maybe you just need to find a few photographers outside of Fresno? Jul 05 08 06:41 pm Link My problem is I never can find any models with dreads! Jul 05 08 06:43 pm Link Dreadlocks happen to rule! I used to have some myself! I miss them sometimes. I would totally shoot someone with dreads! Jul 05 08 06:45 pm Link Check my portfolio and you will find a female model at the very bottom with dreadlocks and I think she does pretty well. BTW i love models with Locs Jul 05 08 06:49 pm Link Let me know when you're on the east coast Jul 05 08 07:32 pm Link It was the opposite for me. People were mad that I cut my locs. My hair made me stand out, and now, I'm still pretty original with my style, but no waist length fun to style... Just keep looking, hopefully you'll find some appreciation, if not, move on- traveling is good for the spirit  Jul 05 08 09:42 pm Link I just want to do head shot's of my locks, I love coloring my lock, curling my lock, styling them in so many ways. I take great pride in my locks. Mar 13 09 02:19 pm Link Tracey Carter wrote: NO NO NO NO NO! Mar 13 09 02:35 pm Link I don't see why photographers won't shoot you because of that. I would've thought that you won't have a problem with that. Silly photographers. - Kitty V May 09 11 07:26 am Link Necromancer wrote: I have and will again if the opportunity comes up. I love the look of dreadlocks. If you were in NY, I would shoot you in a heartbeat. May 09 11 07:47 am Link Move to AZ and I will be sure to notice. Seriously, where you are may be filled with people how are being commissioned to do specific work and you may not fit the required standard. The good news for you is that there are photographers on this site around the country and world that are creating there own work, without worrying about some publication or designers request. They are creating there own lane. Your look is amazing and if you were in town. I would shoot with you in a heartbeat. Good luck and make sure to learn from set back and not allow it to disable your dream. Parks May 09 11 09:02 am Link I do love dreads too... but not many models with them in my area. With your look, I'd shoot you anytime... and the dreads make you just more appalling (hope it's the good word ). But you also need to understand that sometimes, photogs will have a set idea of what they want to do with a particular shoot. So it might be disheartening to see your model arrive on set with dreads... I can see the image, and the Hair Dresser face  May 09 11 04:20 pm Link Is it right that the starter of this thread and a few others have now got rid of their dreads? Well I love mine and have managed to build my reputation to the point that I shoot with photographers that wouldn't generally use dreads and or don't use them as a feature as well as some that absolutely love them and shoot with me specifically for them. Obviously the majority of commercial modelling is surrounding a certain look and dreads aren't typically that but I feel times-a-changing. Nudity and tattoos are appearing more and more in the commercial market so watch this space - I'm making it one of my missions to get dreads out there more! (Currently recording for TV including live on Sky, appeared in films, and constantly shooting - embracing my dreads totally) Nov 12 11 08:39 am Link Elle Black UK Model wrote: You do realize this thread was started three years ago. Nov 12 11 09:01 am Link Are you willing to pay the photographer? When many photographers are looking for something specific they realize the model should be paid. The same should be true of models. Your preferences are your preferences. Have you offered to pay a photographer to shoot you in dreadlocks? If not, why? Gabby Nov 12 11 10:03 am Link Necromancer wrote: Dreadlocks are really limiting. I have balls. Big balls and they jingle like a lot of keys. But I'd rather not shoot models with dreadlocks (unless I'm being paid.) Nothing person, and I'm still plenty original. Nov 12 11 10:14 am Link Don't let your spirits get down..that's the thing about originality, it's rare. Keep searching, good luck. Nov 12 11 11:09 am Link |
