Reality bites sometimes. Dogs behind chainlinked fences and under exposed shots of a window with a curtain is not gonna draw in the ladies. Practice on friends, family or inanimate objects first to hone you skillz. What I saw on your website was pretty dismal. Photographing people is hard work, so become a student first. Don't be a GWC.
Sure will, I need to start taking as much photographs as I can so to improve myself and be better than I am right now. Thanks for your help!Seriously, practice on yourself. You're always there, always available. If you've got time, it turns our that you also have time! It's amazing!
My suggestion... find someone you already know who is willing to model and work with her until you feel you are actually going to be able to give the models GOOD pictures that will HELP their portfolio. Then upload your portfolio so the prospective models can see what you are capable of producing.
Then approach one to collaborate... TFP. (trade their) Time for (your) Pictures.
You can probably shoot repeatedly with the same models so long as you are both having fun and advancing your goals.
Keep your hands off!! Keep it professional!
Don't screw up, screw over, creep out, offend, or upset any model in any way! The modeling world is a very small world already, and in your isolated geographic area... ANY bad rep, whether deserved or not, can end your access to models.
I have often wondered about this as well since I am in the same scenario as the original poster; small community and limited photography experience.
My thoughts were to work with a model (models) doing non-nudes, and IF the subject of doing nudes was broached, and she was interested in some for her own portfolio and use, I could start by using a separate smart card and let her keep the photos. In this way she would be in control of her first nudes and know I was not a creep or going to do something indecent with her photos. Yes it would be using my skills as a photographer, but if it kept her at ease, it may lead into a professional partnership that would work down the road. I know I certainly would be willing to give away a smart card if it would help my photography out long term.
Just a thought on a way of building trust...
