I have no idea how this works so if I'm out of line, please forgive. I'm interested in getting into nude modeling and was told to start with TFP work in order to create a portfolio for my upcoming audition. So here I am. Keep in mind that a week ago I had no idea what TFP stood for so when I say I'm new, I mean I'm new. if you'd like to work with me or perhaps give me some suggestions or guidance, please contact me. My tribe page has pictures so you can get a basic idea of what I look like. I am a flight attendant so my schedule is kinda tricky but I have weekends off in Nov. and Dec. My audition is in January so I need to get this moving kinda quickly. I'm very professional at whatever I do, you won't be disappointed. Let me know if you can help me.
Warmly,
Lysa

    Lysa,
    Couple of things, post back where you are so that those who don't chose to click on your profile will know if they are close enough or within reasonable travel distance to aid you. Also as this is a TFP shoot state what kind of "theme" you want to go with. Any idiot with a camera can take nudie pics, a honest photographer will work with you on creating the scene and comfort level you want. Also most good pro or semi pro photographers will need to have you sign a model contract and as you want a nude session a 2257 contract. If you don't want the photographer to retain the rights to the work make sure that is specified. Have several conversations and meeting with the person taking the shots so that yo are comfortable with them. This way it will show in the work. Just my .002 pence and hope it is some help.

      Chris,
      Thanks so much for your reply. I posted a similar item on two other tribe sites and I put my location in those, so good advice. I like your comment about "any idiot with a camera..." and that is what I'm trying to avoid. (although I realize that may be all I can get in the beginning)

      I guess a good 'first brush' litmus test is whether or not they have a model contract or even know what a 2257 contract is. Once again, good advice.

      Thanks again for taking the time to respond. I really appreciate it.

      Warmly,
      Lysa

        Not everyone will know what a 2257 Contract is because we don't all live in the U.S. But I have always ensured I kept a copy of proof of age just to cover my own ass. Lysa good luck with your search and MM is a great place to network with others

        And, do they have a going website, with multiple models
        they've shot in varied circumstances and "themes"? Of
        course, if it's TFP then they may no more have a portfolio
        than you do... :(

    Take a look at my modelmayhem profile at www.modelmayhem.com/39185
    There are links there to three webpages that contain a lot of very good information for someone interested in getting into modeling.

    If you ever end up with a really long layover in KC or St Louis, give me a tingle and maybe we can come up with something to add to your portfolio.

      Brandon,

      Wow, thanks for the info. I'm going to link over to the website as soon as I finish this email to you.

      I'm not sure what a really long layover is to you....but I do end up in St. Louis several times a year. Usually I work PM trips so I get in around midnight or so and typically leave around 3 ish the next day..

      If I find myself headed that way, I could call you and see if the planets are in alignment for us to meet. Want to send me your phone number? (once I start a trip I don't have access to email)

      Warmly,

      Lysa
