When I'm done shooting, I develop an odor.
Its becoming extremely unbearable. several models have complained. I used to be able to cover it up with some Old Spice or something, but now it seems nothing works. Does anyone else have this issue. Im scared it is going to get around the industry and Ill be black balled. If I could describe the stench, I would say its a mix of rotten vomit and a floating dead body. Im looking to see if anyone has any tips. Jul 12 14 09:09 pm Link I think people would be more concerned that you know what a floating dead body smells like.

Jul 12 14 09:30 pm Link Always wear freshly washed clothes, bathe morning and night, dry well, always use clean fresh towels, keeping bathroom and house clean helps keep a person clean, change your bed sheets twice weekly, go to the dentist for hygiene, brush and floss often, drink more water, keep eating garlic and onions to a minimum, keep studio well-aired, wear charcoal or odor-fighting insoles in your shoes, let shoes dry 24 hours before wearing again and if you wear runners, launder them in delicate cycle in a laundry/lingerie bag with laces removed and laundered in another bag so it doesn't tangle, keep furniture clean so you don't absorb odors, and some people shave armpits to stay dryer in summer. These above tips help many people keep body odor under control. Maybe it won't eradicate it completely, but all of the above help immensely and are good habits easy to adopt. Best wishes and good luck! Jul 12 14 09:31 pm Link Ultraviolet wrote: If it is only models complaining about it ...you have nothing to be concerned about .

Jul 12 14 09:34 pm Link I just dont want it to hurt my chances. Photography seems as if its the last straw for me. I have been let go by every job I have had due to my hygiene. I have seen several professionals in the medical field. I feel terrible, people always laugh and snicker. I also have several boils that throb and spew puss from time to time. People love my work, but they cant stand some of my issues. Please help. Jul 12 14 09:42 pm Link Can we move this to off topic, since this is a joke thread.

Jul 12 14 09:55 pm Link Try showering regularly and if the problem persists, consult an actual Dr. Jul 12 14 09:57 pm Link Jul 12 14 10:02 pm Link Good Egg Productions wrote: Yes, I agree. Jul 12 14 10:04 pm Link House of Thailand's post got me to laughing. Up until that point, I was taking this seriously. I guess someone would do such a thing just to sit back and laugh at all the gullible people, like myself. I'm still not 100% sure ! -Don Jul 12 14 10:14 pm Link I recommend not wearing clothes at all. At least when you can. Air out those bad boys as much as you can. Don't get arrest though. I wouldn't recommend going to jail naked. Jul 12 14 10:25 pm Link Ultraviolet wrote: Unfortunately, not only when you are done shooting. Also before, during and without shooting, there is a strong odor. Even from a great distance on the west coast. Jul 12 14 10:39 pm Link Leonard Gee Photography wrote: It smells a lot like bullshit. But it could be horseshit, too. Jul 12 14 11:32 pm Link I am not quite sure I fully understand, but of course when I evacuate it smells of lilacs. Jul 13 14 01:40 am Link |
