for models only
Lots of models (and photographers) have older images in their portfolio. If those are the ONLY photos, yeah, not a good sign. Jul 08 14 12:00 am Link For some the account may be just an ego thing for the lady in it... Not really a model, but likes to think she is. Possibly fake accounts, as you mentioned earlier. But yeah, it's not a good sign. Jul 10 14 10:49 pm Link one more reason is that they are actually actively pursuing something else as their main goal/job. so they dont shoot as often. Jul 10 14 11:08 pm Link When I joined MM a couple of years ago I contacted new models with the requisite 4 photos. Checking my outbox now, most still have the same 4 pics, and only half of the PM's show as read...even though accessing through their email could explain that. Long story short...and as one that pays ALL models...I don't waste time with ports with a few pics and no changes...a sure sign of a stagnant account. Yeah...maybe they are kicking ass somewhere else...but I have no way of knowing that....so for sure they won't have a shot at my folding green. Jul 11 14 12:08 am Link As long as the person actually still looks like that it doesn't matter, some people can look almost identical for 5+ years Jul 11 14 04:52 am Link *Update photos regularly* Different looks per season... new photos showcasing new work. Jul 11 14 06:45 pm Link I don't think it matters if you have older images up or not. All images show the different types of styles you can do no matter the age of an images. I have images up that I did years ago just because it shows what I can do and yes I don't shoot much due to a busy life. Jul 11 14 08:02 pm Link I like the pictures and I look the same. If I start looking noticeably different, I think I'll take them down, although I'll probably be getting requests for unedited selfies (T minus a couple years) before that happens. Jul 16 14 10:05 am Link It might be worth considering that the more established and the more experienced, the less likely they will be updating their MM pics even though they may be signing in to deal with messages. If one's photos accurately represent their appearance and talent, they are probably off working and dealing with other things, and not overly concerned with anyone who may be microscopically inspecting their posted photos to see when they were uploaded, or deeply worried that they are not posting new photos often enough to satisfy someone who is concerned with a rather insignificant detail.

Jul 16 14 02:05 pm Link I would think 10 yr old photos with drastic changes in appearance would be a "significant " detail Jul 16 14 02:43 pm Link they might be either fake accounts or people that are very proud of these pieces and never got beter ones i guess... Or they ran out of space on mm :') Jul 22 14 11:05 am Link I don't care if a model's photos are from 2004 or 2014... as long as I see some recent polaroids on a white background with no make-up, hair, and in a bikini. Jul 22 14 06:41 pm Link The simple solutions is to just move on to someone else who has updated if it bothers you so much..... I personally don't care so long as the person looks the same. If not, back home you go!......... Jul 22 14 06:49 pm Link |
