Hello to The List Photographers. I have been on here for a bit and have taken on my share of "newbies," and I must say I do enjoy working with someone still looking to break out. I wish to be considered to be included in The List. I am in Bakersfield, California. I'm not sure if there are other Photogs in this group from here, but I would seriously feel honored to be a part of The List.

Thank you for considering me.

I think those sound reasonable.  Well, with that in mind- feel free to have a look at some of my samples and let me know if you think that I may be of assistance.

Hello Gang ! Robert Tavernier from Colorado Springs, Co. Most of what I do now is what you call the duties of those on the list. With that said I would very much like to be considered to be placed on this List. I look forward to the words that will come for the people looking for those to place on the List. My best, Robert !

I've been a Second List member for just about a year now and have worked not only with many newbie models, but also with some newbie photographers.

I've even arranged for a few newbies from both sides of the lens to get together and shoot using my space and/or equipment while I offer guidance and assistance (then mostly get out of their way, unless they need something of course).

I would like to be considered for an upgrade from "the second list" to "the list" so please consider this a message of intent.

I am interested in representing my area as a member of The List. I've been a working photographer for over ten years and enjoy working with new models, so it would be a natural experience for me, and a great way to contribute more directly to Model Mayhem.

Is it just my part of the world? I have "The List" logo on my profile in case a model stops by. As well, I contact Newbie Models weekly and get ZERO replies. When I do a follow up a couple of days later I'll either continue to get nothing or get a reply something to the affect that they joined but can't get started for a month or two because of life obligations.

Is the an approach towards contacting new models that I'm not aware of? big_smile

Hi Gary,
Experienced the same over here sometimes, some respond after 6-9 months though.... If I do get an answer, and the model wants to push the shoot date forward, I agree mostly and plan far ahead. There seems to be a fair number of newbies who are not ready to do the job socially. So many other temptations and priorities. Furthermore, a newbie is often not aware what "the LIST" stands for, doesn't know there is a NotW-competition that can generate exposure.
It does help to explain a bit in your shoot-invitation, but I'm sure you do just that.
Try placing a casting call, I did and got better results, the respondents here do want to shoot.
Well, I sure do hope your efforts are rewarded...

Hi Gary,

Sorry about being so slow to respond. To attempt to address your question:

First and foremost you should bear in mind that this is still a free site. That means that there will be many who join simply because they can. These profiles sadly go fallow very quickly.

OTOH - When I compiled the contestants in the NEWbie Model of the Week Contest this past December I was gratified that well over 80% of the models who had become involved with our programs were still active.

What this means is that if we (you, I and all of theLIST members) are proactive we can make a difference.

These programs are not designed as much to bring models to you as they are designed to help new models. That means that we need to do some work in finding newbies, informing them of the programs and getting them involved.

So keep an eye out for promising new models in your area. Send them a message explaining the programs and their benefits for models ... and help us strengthen the model pool here on Model Mayhem.

You can point to success stories - NMoW nominees who have gone on to build amazing portfolios and solid careers. With that said, I should build a "Winner's Gallery" so that we can point prospects there. I will try to do that soon but in the meantime there are several on my profile and you can run through the contest threads for references.

Go get 'em - then make sure that you bring them to the NEWbie Model of the Week Conteat!

As always, thanks for your involvement!

Apologies for being semi-AWOL lately. I've been held hostage by a revolving band of awesome models, all of whom were NEWbie Models at one time ... so in a sense I have been on the job LOL.

New applicants, you will be hearing from me within the next few days, thank you for your interest and patience!

Hi, Tom...

Could you change my name from "Conpix" (San Francisco, Calfornia) to "Night Beat"?

I'm separating my cosplay and non-cosplay work at this time. 

Also, I revisited this thread because I'm referring a newbie male to Please Just Shoot Me where you mention something like "beautiful models" in the intro.  Just thought you might want to revisit that.

Thanks,

Mike

I'm interested in being added to the list. I'm in the Lodi/Stockton area of central California, but I commonly work in the Sacramento area, too.

I've collaborated with and referred models to other photographers in the area, including one existing member (J Sharp) and one candidate (KC Images).

It would be a great honor to be part of the list.  I have for years enjoyed working with new models and seeing the growth they take after only a few shoots. To me this growth is what makes this business what it is.
