Photographers do you like a skinny models?
I’ wanna to hear your thoughts about skinny model. Cause in Mass Media appeared so many news about models with normal measurements or models plus-size. It’s very important for me & and my husband, we are both models & skinny. You can see us in my port. Feb 22 13 05:33 am Link Skinny - yes - I like to see ribs. Sorry to all the 'normal', 'curvy' or plus-size models out there but you just don't do it for me I'm afraid. Feb 22 13 05:35 am Link As you can see from my portfolio, yes.

While I agree with the notion that there should be a greater diversity among the model population, I don't go along with the interpretation of this which says that anybody can be a model regardless of height, weight, look etc. Models, even plus sized ones, need to look like models - that's the most important factor of all. Just my $0.02 Ciao Stefano www.stefanobrunesci.com Feb 22 13 05:41 am Link From what I read on "plus" size models they aren't really "plus" size as the general public thinks of plus size, they are only plus size for the model world. I think though that it depends on what product you're selling or what product your customer will sell with the pictures you make for them. I don't really like to see ribs. I would prefer a model with a fuller figure. But for fashion models, it seems that thinner models work better for that industry. So I think thinner models are safe Feb 22 13 05:49 am Link Feb 22 13 05:53 am Link I am neither "into" skinny, nor curvy, nor fat. I'm "into" healthy models. Feb 22 13 05:55 am Link Certainly the biggest concern for models is whether the client likes your look. Doesn't matter what the photographer likes, unless he happens to be the client. And I would say most commercial/fashion clients like a slimmer model; sometimes very thin depending. Feb 22 13 05:56 am Link I cannot say as I can shoot any models for their merits and character first. A personal preference is skinny, yet that is a personal preference, not one of the models I work with. Getting out of comfort zones results in a new way of seeing. If I only shot skinny models as that is what I like I would be denying myself of so many beautiful people. To sum up: yes I like skinny. Yet I like every model that brings something to my shoots no matter their physique. Feb 22 13 06:09 am Link Skinny doesn't do it for me I'm afraid. I like fit, well toned physiques for both men and women, especially for my sculpture.

Feb 22 13 06:37 am Link ehm... yes, more plus size models are getting out there. But the fashion industry is still like 99% thin models. you have nothing to worry about... great, gorgeous models are great, gorgeous models. if they're a size 0 or a size 20 .

Feb 22 13 06:51 am Link If by skinny you mean a BMI of underweight, no, I don't.

Anyway, to answer the OP, yes! I like all sorts of body types for my work, from the skinny end of the spectrum to the fat end. Bodies are awesome! Feb 22 13 07:04 am Link I don't need to see ribs, but yes I prefer slim toned models. I have a guttural aversion to the morbidly obese. Industry "Plus Sized" models are curvy, yes, but most importantly they are toned as opposed to flabby. Feb 22 13 07:07 am Link John Horwitz wrote: did I say that? Feb 22 13 07:28 am Link Generally I don't want to see ribs. Most of the models I work with are average women and a wide range of sizes and shapes. A special project requiring a thin model would likely be the only time I would choose one. I feel that medium size to bigger models look better in the genre of art nudes. I can't recall any model I have worked with who weighed less than about 130-140 pounds. Feb 22 13 07:32 am Link glad to see that some have a good body image - I said it wasn't ALWAYS beautiful http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Big_Beautiful_Woman and some may be big and beautiful...MANY are not Feb 22 13 07:32 am Link John Horwitz wrote: sure. but you can say the same thing about any size . Feb 22 13 07:34 am Link stop trolling - I never said that word Feb 22 13 07:37 am Link John Horwitz wrote: I'm not trolling. Feb 22 13 07:40 am Link When someone the size and shape of a grapefruit tries to stuff themselves into a banana skin it looks silly not sexy.

Feb 22 13 07:53 am Link Since you asked, I wouldn't say I have a preference for it, but yes I will definitely shoot skinny models, for several reasons. Feb 22 13 07:56 am Link OK - you win >. Feb 22 13 07:58 am Link win? it's not a fight... anyway... OP, you're beautiful, lots of thin girls are beautiful, lots of girls in other sizes are beautiful too. preferences vary, but generally speaking fashion is still mostly about thin models, so you have absolutely nothing to worry about Feb 22 13 08:00 am Link slim, but please no ribs showing.

Please stop trolling and please stop responding to those that are trolling.

Feb 22 13 08:19 am Link I like people who have an ability to look exceptional, everything from ribs to rolls can work for me depending on the person working it. Feb 22 13 08:22 am Link |
