Although I do post my email address on my MM page, with that comes A LOT of scam emails so I don’t really recommend posting your email address on MM as a new model. At first, I almost fell for a ton of email scams, now I recognize scam offers right away. I have ended up working with photographers that introduced themselves via email, however they emailed me with examples of their work and references I could call. <br /><br />I know when you are just starting out that you can’t obviously show a model a full portfolio or a website to back up your work, but you need to show them something. I really recommend finding a couple friends or family members that would be willing to let you do some shots. <br /><br />If you can get some photos together to get a Model Mayhem profile started, it will help you out in the long run for sure! All you need to get a profile is four photos with at least two different models and locations. That can be accomplished in an hour with two friends! Models can be guys or girls!<br /><br />As well, many experienced models are willing to shoot at lower rates, especially during slower seasons such as winter!! The beautiful thing about being a member on Model Mayhem is that it opens the door for conversations! Also casting calls! :D<br /><br />Hope this helps :D<br /><br />xoxo<br />AndreeAndree de Villers and Sarah DeVennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769138711503685209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075908687212081325.post-75393634187833359302012-01-29T13:47:49.984-05:002012-01-29T13:47:49.984-05:00I was wondering your opinion on something I see at...I was wondering your opinion on something I see at ModelMayhem, a new model will be looking for a photographer and will include thier email address. As I'm just starting out and can't afford an experienced models rates I figure me and a new model can help each other out. But this photorapher aka wannabe white knight posts this on the models page, Flex Photography<br />Photographer<br />2012-01-27 16:18:13<br />Welcome to Mayhem, (insert models name)! Keep in mind that your profile can be seen by EVERYONE in the world, not just members! For that reason, it is a BAD idea to show your email address, as it will attract spams, scams, & perverts! Instead, use Mayhem's internal messages with members, & then limit who gets your email! Never trust email-only contacts!! To choose a profile photo, (called an Avatar) go to My Stuff, Manage Photos, then, beside the one you want to use, click Set As Avatar. For future, keep in mind that photos marked M can not be used as Avatars! Enjoy the site, & work safe! Fred :)<br />Maybe he thinks he's being noble... but I think he is just a jerk that is trying to cut out competition as only already ESTABLISHED photographers can contact them. And just because he has a profile... who is to say that HE might actually be the actual pervert. Anyway, she removes email... he probably volunteers TFP.... yeah, what a gentleman.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075908687212081325.post-47791840410282472972011-12-16T18:01:03.565-05:002011-12-16T18:01:03.565-05:00Hi Anonymous,
Sites like Model Mayhem are perfect...Hi Anonymous,<br /><br />Sites like Model Mayhem are perfect for that!! A model coach can differ depending on the coach, but typically they are seasoned models who will provide some pre training to the newbie model and be on hand during the shoot to assist with posing, etc. Most of the time, model coaches work with photographers and are offered as a part of a new model package. If you are interested in learning more we can definitely do a post on the subject!<br /><br />xoxo<br />Andree & SarahAndree de Villers and Sarah DeVennehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04769138711503685209noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8075908687212081325.post-81852386052425393962011-12-16T17:49:01.686-05:002011-12-16T17:49:01.686-05:00Hi Kevin,
