Jan 09 10 10:30 pm Link Ladies and Gentlemen it is my pleasure to introduce Katjarina Dii (mm#1391510). Having had an account, and been posing for only 3 1/2 months she shows the remarkable ability to pose for everything from simple portraits to artful works with other models, to saucy bodypainting, to playful studio work, to sassy implieds. Her many years of trainign in ballet make her a natural at posing herself, although she takes direction with equal ease...      We both thank the Top Drawer for considering our submission !

Whitley showed up early for our shoot and was willing to stay as late as it took to get the right shots. She has a great personality and is so much fun to be around.      Jan 14 10 11:27 am Link Kristina (#1163929) is a beautiful model to work with. She works very fast and concentrated, and is really present at the shoot. It was the first time I worked with her, was delightfully suprised with her multitude of expressions within the short period of time we had for this shoot. She's obviously a plus-size model, but still a very fast mover ! Paul     Jan 15 10 10:40 am Link Um..... So who won last weeks contest? Just curious.

Jan 30 10 06:45 am Link Candidates for the 93rd Newbie Model of the Week Contest!
Jan 31 10 03:41 pm Link An announcement from Since we seem to sometimes lose the intent of this contest, I am going to try to post a note outlining the intent and reiterating the eligibility requirements in each page as the thread grows. Intent: This contest was set up as a venue for beginning models to introduce themselves and gain a bit of positive exposure. It has always been intended as a fun competition and the goal has always been to support theLIST - Photographers helping NEWbie Models program. The term "NEWbie Model" is difficult to specifically quantify and we all have different concepts of what "newbie" means. For the purposes of these programs, "NEWbie Model" means someone who is new to modeling. Not new to this site, but someone who has had very limited experience modeling. Quoting rates, tours and other signs that a model is a working professional are indications of professionalism and disqualify a model from the programs. One of the central goals of these programs is to assist new models build their portfolios. Because of this one of the eligibility requirements is that the model is actively pursuing portfolio building work. A model whose profile indicates "paid assignments", "very limited TFP" or similar statements are indicating that they feel that they are beyond the scope of the programs. Similarly a model who indicates that they are "on hiatus" or inactive for whatever reasons will not be able to benefit from the programs and should hold off until they return to activity. Eligibility Requirements: The eligibility requirements for this contest are pretty simple. Yes, there is a bit of objectivity involved so if in doubt, please consider the above and ask me if you have questions about a candidate's eligibility. From Page One: If you have any questions or comments you may PM the inbox of the contest moderator Tom deL or visit "TheLIST". * Definition of LIST photographer: A photographer who has submitted work to and has been approved by "TheLIST~TopDrawer" ** Definition of a "newbie model": Any aspiring new model who is a MM member. She may not be affiliated with any modeling agency as of yet and her portfolio must reflect a "newbie" ambiance, including images, listed experience and contacts. She may not show in her profile tours, rates, or anything else that would give her the appearance of a working professional model. If in doubt our Top Drawer Commitee will make final determination. Jan 31 10 04:03 pm Link That is a brilliant contest idea... New goal for this month!!! Jan 31 10 06:19 pm Link |
