Hellloo!

I'm going to make this brief cuz I have a question and I need some advice.


For years and years before modeling for SG I wanted to be an SG.... BADLY!

I was standing in the woods with this beautiful dready woman and she saw me and said... you are so beautiful, you should be a suicide girl... and I was like... whats that?

Found out... wanted it... felt self concious for years, got over it... and here I am!


Recently I did that shoot with Marci Sandler who is a well known photographer in Florida and she Insisted that I make a model mayhem page, so I did.

Now I'm getting all kinds of emails with people trying to shoot with me. Of course they want me to shoot for free.
I don't know how I feel about that, I'm not sure how I feel about random photographers owning rights to my nude body, I'm not sure how much other modeling with interfere with my chances of becoming a suicide girl.

I would love to model for like, Inked Magazine but is that going against my contract???

I have a portfolio, I've done a bunch of shoots, is it better to just keep getting experience and adding to my portfolio?
I'm sure a lot of you models have had this issue... what do you guys think?

Its not a bad idea to get as much experience as possible but don't work for free for sketchy people.
wolfox:
NEVER shoot for free unless it's absolutely stated in the contract that you retain all rights and usage of the images. it's usually a warning sign when they want you to shoot for free, but there are those for whom it's merely an addition to their portfolio as they gain photog cred.
as already mentioned, you should get final decision on the shots that are kept to keep the ones you dislike out of publication - and be witness to them being tossed (or keep them yourself to gaurantee it).
