So, what's the ETA on the pics from the photoshoot? It's almost been a week.

She cancelled the original shoot, we are looking to book another one any day now. I have a few more booked coming up, though, so I should have something soon.

Yeah, I know its frustrating. Even pro models with sites- you contact them , they seem keen and useful, then they stop responding.

In the meantime, I'll post some polaroid scans of a shoot I did a few years ago, similar thing.

Firstly, sorry for the lack of updates! I have done a shoot, but the model didn't want the photos posting on the web, except on my portfoilio.

I should have some good photos soon, however, I'm going to do it slightly differently.

I'll add them to this board, but under a different user name ( if that is OK? ) I'll do this for two reasons-

1. It preserves an element of mystery, "realness" etc- I personnally would find a photoset more appealling if I didn't know the person posing was a model (albet an amateur one.) Does that make sense?

2. Secondly, I think this very thread (that you are reading now) might work against me- if a person who had, posed, or her boyfriend, etc, happened to see it they might be a bit annoyed. I guess all I'm saying is it is sometimes best to keep things annonymous, rather than drawing too much attention.

I've just sent Fango an e mail, this is the gist of it-

Its proving really hard to find a model who is happy to be photographed for this site AND who is relaible and turns up.

I've done three shoots, all with good models, but part of the deal is they don't want their pictures on sites such as this (mainly because it could harm their modelling careers.)

As such, the quest continues to find an amateur model, who can be reiled upon to turn up!

The other drawback with experienced/pro models is that they seem almost instinctivly to strike "model" poses- its hard to get pictures that even come close to a "genuine" ENF etc look.
