Feb 02 10 06:41 pm Link I would like enter Dana-Lynn into the contest this week. (please click on the photo to link to Dana's profile) Dana just joined ModelMayhem a couple of days ago and has only modeled for a few weeks, mostly modeling with her identical twin sister Easton Marie, who can also been seen here on MM. Dana was a pleasure to shoot and really wowed me with her ability to project herself so well from someone with limited modeling experience. I would also thank Karma Jones (no relation to me) MM#518780 for doing a splendid job on the makeup. Dana-Lynn: https://www.modelmayhem.com/1553692 karma Jones MUA: https://www.modelmayhem.com/518780 Feb 03 10 06:20 pm Link goodluck sis! love you Feb 03 10 06:31 pm Link Feb 03 10 07:24 pm Link Feb 04 10 12:50 pm Link This was an entry of the model Remco. Sadly I wasn't thinking when I posted it, for Remco was competing against his girlfriend who's shots are posted just above this. Thanks guys for letting me know, certainly won't do this again! The newbies must have the same opportunities. Paul Feb 04 10 12:54 pm Link Presenting Ninaluv, MM #1475116. Nina is the cousin of a model I shot with when I traveled to Puerto Rico recently, and the photos below are from her very first shoot. The images are unretouched except as noted and Nina did her own hair, makeup, and wardrobe. We shot six looks in about four and a half hours. Nina's also a new mom, having given birth only two months before our shoot. (Post production by The Kill3r Touch) Nina and I thank Top Drawer for their consideration! Mike Feb 05 10 06:11 pm Link I don't feel that photopfw is not being fair to their nominees by pitting them against each other and so have asked that they be nominated one at a time ...

Feb 07 10 06:55 am Link Wow! What a great selection this round. Good luck to all of them. Feb 07 10 07:01 am 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. A couple of additional notes: Length of Membership Originally there was a limit of one year maximum for a model to have been a member of Model Mayhem. This stipulation was dropped over a year ago under the rationale that sometimes (often?) models have a false start: One shoot then for whatever reason stop immediately. So if a MM membership has been effectively fallow this is deemed to not be a factor. Once again, the spirit of the law is that a model must be a beginner model. Re-Nominating a NEWbie Model Very often the contests are very close. theLIST members may re-nominate a model who did not win the contest after a thirty (30) day waiting period. As time goes on and the nominee gains experience, they will become ineligible even if they were eligible when the images were shot and the first entry was fielded.

Feb 13 10 08:12 am Link This week I'd like to resubmit Caty K, MM #811144. She is one of the most versatile newcomers I've encountered, and an absolute delight to work with! After earning a degree in International Relations, Caty decided to forgo a diplomatic career and pursue the arts. It was very difficult to pick five representative shots from the four shoots we've done; I could have easily submitted twenty. She was on hiatus for a while, and is now back and ready to shoot! None of these images have been retouched. Caty and I thank Top Drawer for their consideration!
