Are you on Model Mayhem? Share it.

Although I have a Modelmayhem I've also never done a single thing with it. I created the account and have accepted a few friend requests (only so it doesn't look completely sparse and empty) but haven't accepted any offers to shoot. I kind of want to do a shoot sometime but since I never have before I'm pretty hesitant on getting one started.

That's mine. If anyone in Cleveland wants to do a dual-shoot or has someone in mind that is somewhat experienced as either a model or photographer but is willing to help out a n00b in portraits...lemme know =P
 
I planned on using that site at some point but I haven't really taken the first steps. I don't even really have any portraits I could put up and I think you need to submit a few before they let you make a profile page or something.

^ So I guess +1 on that Cleveland area thing.

Same here.

I wanted to join the site to get started doing serious portraiture/fashion photography with models with similar experience as me for my portfolio. I uploaded the few decent lifestyle portraits of different subjects(like 6) I was totally denied membership after they reviewed them :blushing:
 
I dont thing they are picky. you just need to provide 4 pictures (or 5) of peoples that are different. I joinned using picture of my wife (first portrait shoot i ever did)

Can I ask what pictures you submitted? Were they not along the guidelines provided?
^haha that sucks, they are pretty picky at mm tho so don't feel bad.

Totally agree... I don't think they're that pick at all as long as you have the required 2 different models or 2 different locations when you "apply" to sign up... because I've seen some pretty bad GWC profiles on there...

Like everyone else, I intend on signing up (probably by the end of the week, actually), but I haven't yet.
 
AFAIK I uploaded my portfolio caliber work and were within the terms.

I've seen people get by with WAY less(quantity and quality) and I highly doubt that it's one person doing all the filtering so the notion that they're picky sometimes isn't unheard of.

I'll likely give it another shot after I get started with studio shoots.
 
I tried to create an account but I was denied. Any have access to an account I can use? or able to look up pictures for me?
 
You won't hire me anyway, my modeling rate is quite high. :)
 
MM is like soft porn. Just FYI incase you didnt know.... lol actually if you turn off work safe it is all out in your face kind of deal...
