Candidates for the 129th Newbie Model of the Week Contest! Oct 15 10 08:13 pm Link Re-submitting Sparrow, MM #1498383. I "met" her when she asked about nomination to this competition, and was referred to "The List" photographers in her area. I was planning a trip to LA a few weeks later so I contacted her and offered to shoot with her when I was in town. I'm glad that I did! Sparrow is a genuine delight with a sense for fashion and a very polished, classy presentation. She probably won't qualify as a "newbie" much longer. Hair and makeup by Abby Lipstick; all images unretouched. Sparrow, Abby, and I thank Top Drawer for their consideration!

Oct 18 10 09:37 pm Link Model: Lizzie Ray (#1800912) - Age: 21 from Irvine, California At 5â9â tall, when I worked with Lizzie, directing was at a minimum. She is a natural that just seems to know what is expected of her. I believe fashion photographers will be fighting over her real soon. MUA: Desiree Foote and Debra Johnson Wardrobe: Maly Siharath and CR-Style Oct 20 10 03:37 pm Link Below is my submission for the week of October 25. (My sincere apologies to all -- I messed it up last week and caused my original post to become hidden.) Model: MM#1776929 Karina Brow. Karina is an athletic and flexible model. She is beautiful, with naturally smooth skin. She knows where the lights are and needs little direction in posing, moves from one pose to another fluidly, has wide and free array of expressions without having to be constantly preoccupied with wardrobe malfunction, seems to know instinctively how to position her body with respect to the lights. She is very expressive. She is definitely not a clothes hanger. She conducted herself totally professionally, from being on-time, fully communicative, and friendly/approachable. I will cite one aspect that makes her stand out: After she started modeling two months ago, she started a "52 Challenge" project, where she plans to shoot with one photographer each week for one year; her journey is documented in the blog tab at http://knavekarina.com. She is quickly learning by leaps and bounds. I admire this level of determination, and I sincerely wish her success in modeling. Oct 23 10 12:59 pm Link Candidates for the 130th Newbie Model of the Week Contest! Oct 23 10 09:21 pm Link I would like to respectfully submit Aimee, MM#1672445 Gemini1987 as Newbie Model of the week. I'm having a great month with two Newbies that were Intelligent, Early for the shoot, and a lot of fun to work with. The biggest problem I had was composing so that I could take advantage of her height as best I could. If this were Vegas, I'd have to think about taking my chips and going home because a lucky streak like this can't hold out that long....but one never knows. Thank you for your consideration. Oct 25 10 09:31 pm Link I'd like to re submit Christina_Kay Mayhem #1726466 Christina was prompt and eager to expose her talents. She was very motivated and had tons of energy after I was running on reserves. So without further ado I present to you Christina_Kay for consideration as Model Mayhems Newbie Model of the Week.

Oct 26 10 06:54 am Link This week I'm please to submit x Michelle, MM #1238287 for your consideration. Our first shoot actually took over a year to coordinate between her school and my work schedules, but it was well worth the wait! We shot nine looks in about six hours, and over 90% of the photos were "keepers". Michelle was very comfortable on set, and took direction well. She did her own hair and makeup. All images presented here are unretouched. Michelle and I thank Top Drawer for their consideration! Mike Oct 26 10 10:23 pm Link To the members of the Top Drawer, I am proud to re-enter Teri Lynn (MM#1488247) in this week's Newbie Model of the Week Contest. Teri is only 18-years old, and had done only one shoot before producing the images you see here. Teri hails from McMinnville, Tennessee where she attended Warren County High School. While a student there, she was an active member of HOSA (Health Occupations Students of America) where she volunteered her time and talents helping the less-fortunate in need of quality health care. Not surprisingly, Teri is pursuing a degree as a dental hygienist. Thank you! My best regards, MPT. Oct 28 10 11:40 am Link Candidates for the 131st Newbie Model of the Week Contest!

Nov 03 10 06:54 pm Link Presenting Ashley Carnegie, MM #1903965 - my submission for Newbie Model of the Week. She is a hard worker who is currently a full time university student with two jobs, yet still manages to find the time to model (I need to take time management lessons from her!). She is awesome to work with (5'11"!), and is especially great when presented with demanding creatives that require patience and imagination. She's amazing at providing very different looks, even in the same session. I hope you all enjoy her captures as well as I did taking them. I wish her the best of luck in the voting process for this contest. regards, David Hirsh Nov 04 10 09:23 am Link I want to X-10 the >>CONGRATULATIONS to our winner this week tlynnm MM# 1488247 our 131st Newbie Model of the WEEK November 2, 2010 ~!!! ,, And it looks like another great week is shaping up this week... lets keep it going!!!
