I just wrote a blog post on tips on preparing for a photo shoot (for models), i also linked an MUA friend's one in there, hers is more for make-up but very informative.
Feel free to add it to the list.

Just to say thanks you guys, this was really helpful. After reading this I'm about to edit my "About Me" as you mentioned a couple of rookie mistakes that I've already made, lol.

Ciao,

Thanks for this advice. I planned on staying away from the forums till I read some more (Currently I'm a Fawn). I look forward to learning from the forums and improving my skills.

I can't wait to work with some of the people I've "met" here.

Really great website MM. Thanks a bunch.

To those new up-coming photographers who have money to pay models; do not give models pics and CD’s for free. The initial fee is supposed to be for the photographers time only!!!! It makes know sense to pay the model for his or her time and give them free pictures too…! When bad business moves like this are done, these models expect it to be the norm through-out the industry!!!! Hence, screws it up for the rest of us trying to school these up-coming pre-madonnas!

Welcome to my survival guide for MM newbies. This thread contains some tips and advices especially useful for people who are new to Model Mayhem. This thread will not help you become successful. This thread is designed only to help you stay out of trouble.

The guide contains mostly tips for people who are fairly new to modeling. Some tips are for models only, while some are universal and apply to photographers and stylists as well. There are two main components at this time.

1. Bio Do's and Dont's - talks about what are some of the things to avoid when you write your bio, as well as some other tips.

2a. The Ecology of MM Forums - learn the types of creatures that post in the forums.

2b. Basic Forum Survival Tips - avoid getting torn apart. It's not pretty.

Supplement:
- Acronym List
- FAQ on Forums

hi there
heard about this site for a long time but finally joined it. nice little group.

anyhoo, have a total noob question-

how do you create one of those lists, it seems like a favorite photos, kind of list? your own?
assuming that makes it easier to refer back to those images?

All you who are not Mods, why post your dos and dont's, and what you like and don't like etc. Give up, grow up.

BTW, your complaining and barfing, oops, no pun there for models eh? in the wrong area. Is this a Newbie area.?

AND FnA right we have a right to speak up.

Speaking on behalf of newbies. Hey, somebody has to. wink
