Ageing images
I've been around the block a few times in my day. Modeled* acted* directed and I have even danced in a few numbers. Back in the 80's if I had as much as turned out a ( professional photograph) older than 2 years to a director he would handed it back, laughed at me and said are you kidding me? Yes, I use to hear that a lot. Another one I use to hear was " Are you kidding me with these photos, you call yourself an actor or model? It took me roughly 10 years before I really got the hang of it, but I did and became relatively successful working among a myriad celebrities. So it's 2023 on MM and Im still seeing images from 2010 | 2013 |2016. Question is, is it a lack of caring anymore, has everyone died? Or maybe it's just a lack of good ideas like we use to have back in the day? Mind everyone I can do a lot with a little if they would only make the first effort. There is still something called professional " ambition " out there. It's frustrating Mar 11 23 06:35 am Link RMMCREATIVE wrote: Think of all the famous pictures that need to be destroyed.

Models and photographer do age and while like fine wine we get better our appearance changes. Not important for photographer behind the camera but is important for those in front of it. Older photos tell us more about a model than just her appearance it shows her talent as a model , newer photos tell us her current look which may or may not suit a photographers needs. MM is also a social media site and many keep profiles her etc keep up with long time friends Mar 11 23 08:06 am Link What I look for is the up to day photographs. Models do age and also I look for what tattoos or piercings or hair style changes have happen. For older pictures an album can be created for that.

BUT, the game has changed tremendously these days; there are no "stars" anymore (not my opinion, the mega stars say it themselves) and your phone is all you need with a filter..lol. Mar 22 23 10:05 am Link Thank you, these are all tremendous answers to an ongoing issue. I guess to clarify my point is that I want any model I work with to at least ( reassemble ) what they're showing on their page. Yes, weight, height, hair and mainly age. I alway's request at least 2 or 3 current selfies right before the shoot just to protect all concerned, primarily the client. Mar 25 23 01:01 pm Link I honor my models keeping their images on here. I add new ones as I make them. To honor the new models I've worked with. Mar 27 23 08:06 am Link RMMCREATIVE wrote:
Mar 27 23 03:30 pm Link This is a free to join site that isn't necessarily a professional networking site Instagram is kind of the new way to network vs here. It's much easier to update, I can post reels so people can see what I look like in motion. For better or worse this isn't like a fit model agency I was briefly with that expected you to update them on any changes in measurements that were greater than a half inch lol They only bring out the measuring tape to see how far apart shoulders are Mar 27 23 04:26 pm Link RMMCREATIVE wrote: I daresay it would be more than a little frustrating, to say nothing of costly, to see someone remove Ansel Adams "Moonrise, Hernandez" from the museums of this world.
