New model looking for trade photos.
Hi, my name is Brianna and I am 17 years of age. Im looking for an amateur photographer willing to do TFP. Sep 18 14 09:05 pm Link Look for Casting Calls in your area and/or place an Availability Notice. Click on the 'casting/travel' tab. And read all the suggested homework. Good Luck. Sep 19 14 03:26 pm Link You can't really model without parental consent, and you will be limited in what kinds of modeling you can do as a minor. There are great photogs in LA, not to mention the LA Fine Arts Center, photo students, that you can shoot with, assuming you resolve the above. You need not be looking for an amateur photog, to test with. There are plenty of folks who will test you, if you have the right look, right size, etc. Sep 19 14 03:47 pm Link Lallure Photographic wrote: I've never heard this before. Is that a law in her state? Curious because I see people under 18 taking photos all the time without parental consent. The OP should and could work with amateur photographers as she is not standard agency height. Please do return and educate me on the law that says that photographers can't photograph models under 18 though. Sep 19 14 05:55 pm Link Welcome to the mayhem!  Sep 19 14 10:31 pm Link

This is for when you want to charge money. You can offer trade as well. Search for Casting Calls in your area based on criteria you select.

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. 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.

But as a minor, she can't sign a legally binding model release, or a shoot agreement that covers what she gets out of the shoot (number of images, any usage rights, etc.). A legal guardian will also need to sign it. To shoot without a release just leaves you open for potential problems later. Oct 02 14 09:19 am Link Welcome to MM!

Minors cannot contract.......in other words, they cannot legally sign a model release without a parent or guardian. It's NOT binding. They also cannot do revealing work, by LAW!
