Hello! New art model working in NYC
Hello! I'm new to Model Mayhem, and excited to start working with others! I joined MM to pick up some extra work, and because I enjoy modeling and helping others tell stories and realize their ideas. I have experience in performance and movement, and take direction well. I have mostly worked with friends on art shoots and been photographed in performance, but am interested in trying new things. Excited to be here! Jacqueline Mar 29 15 08:03 am Link Hello Jacqueline Welcome to MM Mar 29 15 10:54 am Link Thanks!

Otherwise you will get photographers who haven't logged in in over a year. There are a lot of inactive accounts. Make an announcemnet. Look on the front page for members offering comments for comments, and comment on their photos. Also make an announcement yourself. Post a bulletin by going to My stuff > bulletins. Friends can see the bulletins you post. Be active in the forums, but avoid trolls who start threads just to watch the ensuing flame war. Avoid threads that beat the  over GWC's, flakes, escorts, ..., etc. Use the forum search to look for posts on your topic. Make positive constructive comments. Whenever you get published, add some new photos, or accomplish anything in general, post an announcement in the Accomplishments, Achievements and High Fives forum. When people see your forum post the first thing they see is your avatar. It has to be interesting enough for them to want to click on it and look at your portfolio. Share your other accounts on the Social Media User Name Sharing Thread. Rinse and repeat. Good luck in your search!
