First of all I read what miss Mortianna said on her blog Live fast, die young, leave a good looking corpse on her journey into modelling. She had great advice there so you should all check it out!
What I did was first get into a Facebook group about TFCD photography, which basically means that both the photographer and the model own the photos but neither is allowed to make money with them. The group I joined is for Finland and rather well controlled, so I felt safe with meeting with the photographers, though I am a young woman and I've only been in photoshoots with older men. It can be a bit awkward if you're not used to that sort of thing. Also since my photoshoots have been rather daring to say the least, it's been something I've even had to get used to, because I'm not quite that daring in real life. There's the model me and the real me.
Second I posted my information on the site and got a private message from one photographer. After the first shoot I created my own modelling folder into the group and added the photos there, after that I have gotten private messages from two other photographers. I've now done three photoshoots and am hoping for a fourth and umpteenth one in the future! Because modelling is just so much fun!
The ideas for photoshoots have mostly come from the model, me, but the photoshoot itself goes depending on the photographer either to their ideas or my ideas, but mostly it's a collaboration of ideas and creativity to create something beautiful as the outcome. You should always listen to the photographers directions because they know how it looks on camera, and you should never get yourself into a position your not comfortable with - so if the ideas are too out there for you, say something because you're not allowed to be forced into anything.
It's also really really important that you check the photographer out beforehand - you check that they have a portfolio, you check their activities, you google their name, everything, because you do not want to end up with some pervy idiot in a warehouse!
Päädyin mallinhommiin miss Mortiannan ideoinnin jälkeen ja liityin lopulta Facebookissa ryhmään, joka hoitaa TFCD-kuvauksia, joissa sekä mallilla että kuvaajalla on oikeudet kuviin, mutta kuvilla ei saa tehdä rahaa.
Kirjoitin tietoni ylös mallikansioon ja sain heti yhteydenoton kuvaajalta. En tuntenut häntä enkä myöhempiä kuvaajia aikaisemmin, mutta se ei minua haitannut, sillä kun katsoin heidän portfolionsa ja aktiviteettinsä ryhmässä uskaltauduin heidän seuraansa. Muista aina tarkistaa kuvaajan tiedot, ettet joudu minnekään jonkin kriipin idiootin kanssa!
Ideat kuviin tulivat niin minulta kuin valokuvaajaltakin ja näin se myös kuvauksessa tapahtuu, tietenkin riippuen kuvaajasta ja aiheesta, mutta kaikkea saa ehdottaa ja katsoa miten käy!
Jos on jotain kysyttävää vielä, kysy ihmeessä, vastaan mielelläni!
If you have any more question I'd love to answer!
