Oct 08 12 05:16 am Link I'm in general agreement with the other posts. When dealing with newbies, I look at the model, not the photos. I know I can give them high quality images. If I do end up working with them, I urge them to remove the low quality images ASAP.

I enjoy working with them, and I hope to help them bring something new to their portfolio, that shows their real character and inner beauty in some kind of a positive way. So, I don't skip those type of models. But, what I DO skip is the new model with 4 sub-par pictures in her portfolio...that wants to charge me GWC rates for the "privilege" of shooting her pouty (and mercenary) diva face. NO thanks. It's all about good attitude to me, I can work with the rest of it.  Oct 09 12 08:24 am Link We have a whole bunch of models who have all the same crappy pictures from the same crappy photographer around here. I've spoken to other photographers and we all pretty much skip over them. Some of them look like they have potential and I might take a chance, but in the past I've never gotten replies back so I don't even bother anymore. Oct 09 12 08:38 am Link I find, even the GOOD photographers, that do TF, (obviously your looking at TF models and portfolios, otherwise they wouldnt be getting paid!). I find even sometimes the GOOD ones will NOT sacrifice the BETTER shots from the shoot!!! Let alone the USEABLE shots for your portfolio!! Ive done 3 shoots that the turn out was THEE best, and they were even photographers ive worked with before, and yet, they still give me mediocre shots!!!  i have to make do with what they supply me, and sometimes most shots make the photography look good, but the model bad, due to bad cropping, lighting, focus, sometimes the shots are of body parts... (What use is that to me??!!! Ugh...). Etc... Sooo bear in mind, we work with what we are supplied... Unfortunatle they keep the best and most useful shots for OUR port, to themselves... Which is truely dissapointing. But id recommend looking at the photographer of the photos, and check out who credited them, and worked with them, as THOSE are the photos the PHOTOGRAPHER has supplied... Might give you a general idea as to whos in the wrong...Oct 09 12 08:47 am Link Unfortunately I've grown shy of recruiting newbies with a port full of cell pics. Not because of the quality of the images but because they don't show up. I went thru a stint of giving good looking cell-folio* girls a shot while just trying to find new inspiration. I promise you, I've never experienced so many dead grandparents in one shoot day in all my life. Never again. But that's just my experience. (* you heard it here first ladies and germs.)
