@uncle grime @T-K-G

A lot come from Model Mayhem... you'll get people adding you as a friend and pm'in you on the regular saying they like your style and want to collab.

Friends of other models, word of mouth, shoots with other photographers, etc... a lil bit from everywhere now.

Just find a site where you can show off you portfolio...people will reach out.

Haven't posted here in ages... I find it kinda scary to put myself and my work out there for people to judge...this has been holding me back with photography but in my personal life as well. Time to open up a little. Let me know what yall think.

:myman:

Do what you love and let world see brehda... I like that wide angle/panoramic pic

how do you go about make-up and clothing for said models :patrice: or do you just tell them to handle that shyt on their own before they come to you, i got a homeboy that regularly goes to thrift stores and whatnot buying girls clothing for models but im REALLY not tryna go through all of that to be honest :smhcraig:

I got numbers for make-up artists and hair stylists from there too, but I never used them. I don't wanna be responsible for all that :yawn: I just wanna show up and shoot. My style so far has been very natural so that hasn't been an issue yet.

I got an idea for an elaborate shoot in the future that I really would need a stylist/makeup artist for :patrice:


This will be my greatest achievement yet...

Thanks breh. I had to google wes anderson and vanishing point lol. I try to let go of all my thoughts and focus all of my attention on what I see in my viewfinder when I take pictures. when I'm able to do it, it's one of the best feelings in the world and pictures come out looking nice. it's hard to let go and get to that point though...bills and other random thoughts have me preoccupied most of the time.
