Ummar!

I'm a really bad boy, I was banned from an Australian modeling site.

*whistles innocently*

Edit: I thought I best put a footnote on here saying that it had nothing to do with me being a model before one of you smarty bums suggests it Tongue

I'm not a fan of egotistical, arrogant photographers who have been "a professional photographer for 29 years" yet turn out only ordinary shots who are sucked upto by the administrator because of who they are and also because I spoke my mind (gee would I do that?) about how pathetic the situation is there with models who do not respond to work e-mails and the number of minders (model managers) and those who pose as models on the site who will only reply to e-mails when there is serious financial gain in it for themselves ie the models are contacted for work and the minder can find some way to make money himself. I uncovered quite a few of these and posted opinions of them plus another site which I won't post a link to run by one of said photographers who work with models without model releases (contracts) and is posting them on an amateur aussie erotica site. Not to mention that one of the girls is under 18 :/

Some people would rather pull the wool over their eyes because of said peoples success and hoping it will rub off on them.

Well, not to generalise and say everyone in the modelling industry is this shallow, but should we really be surprised when the industry is about vanity and attention-seeking? Rolleyes

Not having a go at you StudioJ. Just an observation on my part. Smile

Ok ok ok so it was a long sentence, I tend to do that when I'm ranting as my brain goes into overdrive.

Nice emoticon Colin Smile

Hey Axey, you have no idea what the modeling industry is like, maybe 1 in 20 of them can actually string a sentence together (not beauties like mine though!)

Unlike most women when you praise their looks and ability they don't turn to mush and go all coy they thrive on it.

Must be where all the dumb blonde jokes originated from? :/ (I'm not implying that anyone here is a dumb blonde, though!)

Did you shave your head?

I'm shaved down to a number two all the time coz I have been balding since I was 18. I now have a rather scruffy beard which I've been growing for a month though.

Woohoo I'm doing a fashion parade on Friday night and here I was thinking I'd get a Friday night off for a change, its a charity thing though but its for a good cause.

I think it is the Fremantle Primary School but don't quote me on that, I don't know about that side of things, I was just asked to do it.

That is no good cause, lol, just kidding, if you just get out and do some work for free it is advertising for you, just make sure you wear a shirt with StudioJ written on it with you contact details on it =)

To get back on topic: Every one wants to be a photographer at the model expos because they think they ge exclusive access to the hottest girls in the country, so I wouldn't be supprised if you saw some "Profesional Photographers" using Canon PowerShot and Sopny Cybershot cameras, not that there is anytihng wrong with those cameras =P
