Models and Dreadlocks
Of course, this is coming from an 'Art' photographer (translation= very little money to be made), but the math is simple: 1. dreadlocks - kewl to photograph. 2. you - too adorable NOT to photograph. 3. You with dreads - yes, yes and yes. From one hippie to another, ramble on... Aug 05 11 08:23 pm Link Elizabeth Claret wrote: exactly!! well said! Aug 05 11 08:30 pm Link I've noticed that my locks have actually helped set me apart from the traditional look of the black model. Seems to have peaked the interest of many. Just got back into modeling & recently signed with 2 agencies. Will let you know how I do in the commercial market! Good luck!

Jun 25 13 11:49 am Link Dreadlocks can look amazing, if you take care of them properly. However, if you ever want to take them out, the only thing you can do is cut them out, and you'd have to basically regrow your hair from a very short length. Like any modification (hair color, tattoos, piercings, dreads, etc..), it has the potential to limit your options. At the same time, some photographers would JUMP at the chance to shoot with you, BECAUSE of the modification. Jun 26 13 04:50 pm Link Did she delete her port?
