Hi,

I have two questions if anyone can help me please.

The main artwork I do is very atmospheric, detailed and creative. I mainly paint landscapes and animals, but I will be creating art pieces of the human form. Do you know if I am allowed to upload art pieces of landscapes and animals please?

I was thinking that it would be interesting having my art pieces in photoshoots, fashion, editorial, artistic nude, etc. Do you think photographers would be interested in this concept. I thought that it would make the photoshoot arty, quirky and unusual.

Any advice very much appreciated.

Thank you, Rhiannon x

Yes, you can upload your artwork of landscapes and animals.

Members are required to maintain at least 4 images that meet requirements, but after that, upload those other things if you want.

One or two images would be fine, I think.  But if a large portion of your MM portfolio is not of people, you are kinda defeating the purpose of having a profile here, aren't you?

Have you thought about creating your own web site?  Or getting a Tumblr account?  Or something like that?

Thank you for your advice. I wouldn't have my whole profile full of landscapes and animals, as I'm wanting to create a lot of art were it will contain the female and male form.
I will be starting up my own website in future. I wanted to have a profile on here as I would like my artwork to be used in this industry.
Take care, Rhiannon x

OP: when you mention that you would like to have your pieces "in photo shoots" if you are talking about as part of a set for instance, you might have better luck reaching out to set designers to place your work. Sometimes folks rent artwork for movies and such also.  However, if you are talking about having art as a backdrop for an image with a model in it, there are many ways that people create these in photoshop.  Try reaching out to set designers or producers outside of MM perhaps though as well. good luck

Thank you for your help and advice.
To be honest I'm not quite sure were to even start looking in to contacting set designers and producers. I will start my Google research.
Take care, Rhiannon x

Start with any local production companies in your area, and then spiral out from there. Once you meet a few, ask if they know of others..etc..etc. until you build a network and it leads to placing your work consistently. good luck!
