We provide free portfolio hosting for the modeling and photographic industry

Thoroughly enjoying running a full time wedding photography business, paying the bills for two of us and paying our tax too. Obviously it takes a bit of savvy to be profitable and to make the mechanics of it all work and grow - its also essential to be consistent and creative in making pictures which get you noticed, but it's a great way to make a living and gives loads of time to pursue other interests and enjoy free time. Low paying clients and all that awkward malarkey don't affect me since I don't court that level of the market.

Welcome on board Rhianna. Alas it is a little quiet at the moment on the forums so this is as good a place to post as any unless it is a casting of course.

Yeah fine....And just how do you plan to enforce that on what is not likely to be a UK site with nothing but a username to go by? There is zero point making threats yoiu are unable, unwilling or simply lack the means to carry out.. Take down notices are however heeded by the vast majority of hosting sites provided they are correctly formatted and sent to the right address. Itself not always an easy task I admit.

If you have a UK name and address  and do not mind the expense and risk of not recovering those costs fine.

Welcome back Jess, always nice to see people returning, you should pass on the secret of remebering log-on and password to a few more....lol

since it is so quiet here:
The other is also fixed. Supposed to take 20 minutes (only 5 screws plus tensioning the coil), but it took me 5 hours because of rubbish designed and rusted bolts, which had to be cut off using a hack saw... And that on a German car. My Korean one is easier to work on, and is double of age old ...
So, models, we can drive again ...
Ah forgot, its so quiet here, nobody there to drive with ...
Well, I tried

"You cannot make an ap for the site ..."

You missed it. The OMs question was why it is so quiet here. In my first post you could read one reason: getting logged out if you type too slow or it takes too long.
I (I) am not impressed by that, because it annoyed me to loose an ours effort trying to help.

In my next post I made it very short:
The young girls do everything by phone. Maybe you are right that an app is not possible, but then its just something else what blinks and sounds on a mobile phone. If it does not they don't even look at that.
Then is there the MASS effect: There was excellent video systems like beta max and video 2000, but the MASS bought the crap VHS. The MASS bought still VW beetles although there where much better cars available. The MASS is hanging on FB, nobody knows why, 99.9% what you see there is just ... nothing... Actually, I can find there in a 10 minute search more bare Ti.s and open l.gs than here on PS.If you don't know where - you have no idea ... There where excellent PCs on the world called Mac, but the MASS bought the crap ones. The MASS of the girls has changed mind. They are now somewhere, for actually no proper reason, its just a MASS phenomena. You run with the MASS , or you are out (in the quiet). Except you grow to the successful exemption.

I have tried to suggest a solution, maybe it does not work. You suggested nothing. I do not need this site, you may need it.

The simple answer to the OM is: Its quiet here because the MASS is elsewhere.

If you were to install a hydro electric system then your costs would decrease greatly with all of the rail we've had in the last few days. Or install a big wind turbine on top of your chimney. Forget the solar panels though as summer seems to have vanished again. :-)

Alternatively you don;t have to be too smart to work out how many kilowatt x whatever your unit cost is, Mines around 10p so nice and easy. No smartness required. And as for smart meters.... It's generally the more expensive providers that supply you with one of these for free at the moment.

Why not use PS or similar to work it out. Just resize the short edge to 10cm...and see what the long edge comes to. Or use any of your potential sizes....put in the short edge....see what the long edge comes out at.

You can of course set the cropping tool to any ratio you want and use that to play with your image to get the effect you are looking for.

You seriously need to read the thread. Not all 44 pages, but perhaps at least ONE page.


It always amazes me when someone can post so ignorantly.

Yes seen the wedding photographers, They do seem to need an extraordinary number of "helpers", mainly around the parks close to the Forbidden palace, and have stood in the background and shot quite a few for my own port. Got three of them on here. took some this year might put some on later.

Hi folks

I'm looking for an inexpensive studios to hire around Leeds for a family and wedding shots in July (week starting 17/07)

Any suggestions and recommendations will be greatly appreciated.

Thx
Oli.

I am sad to hear of his passing. I remember him as a man who was generous with his time and knowledge of photography and the industry. RIP Matty

Things might change, maybe go back to how they were if photographers stop giving in to demands of silly sums and silly terms for the promise of skin flashes and hidden levels et al. Models without photographers are just... random people with makeup on, never forget that. And for 'models' persuing that dream magazine shoot, thats a million more miles further away without us than with us. Even if it's just to have some pics to sell on a private cam channel they hope you'll never find out about; taking the pi$$ all over your copyrights knowing full well you won't care enough to do anything about it. It's almost guaranteed they will make more money out of your time, skills, and pictures than you ever will, plus being paid of course.

There's that saying about the inch and the mile; and my god that mile gets longer each year. The bitch of it is... you photographers... actually own the tape measure.

Today a 'modern model' can charge for no skills, no posing ability, no ability to emote, no wardrobe, no experience, negative feedback, and a port full of selfies. And guess what, models didn't do this... photographers did.

Good luck...

I, too, really miss the old scene and those involved in it on both sides of the lens who shot primarily to be creative rather than to exploit the other party.

Fortunately my photographic mojo does not depend on snapping models so I seldom lose it for more than a few hours.

Over the last ten days I have been fortunate to have taken over 6,500 images of everything from soldiers and military vehicles to civilian ambulances and operating theatre teams to a President so my mojo probably needs holding back at the moment, but while on that epic overseas assignment I still pointed my lens at trains and a church just because they were there and they caught my eye.

It really doesn't take a pretty young thing to fan my photographic mojo into action, but it would be nice if a few more models were more interested in shooting for art / creativity than in just emptying wallets.

On those occasions where I do need a good model for publication work I'm blessed in having that consumate professional victoriasummers only a phone call and half an hour's drive away, but it would be great to think that there were a few more like her on the scene to make it more vibrant again.

I tried a specialist cleaner and a pressure washer...but what worked best was strong bleach from Wilko. I applied it liberally.....waited five minutes, scrubbed it with a hard bristle garden broom. Then hosed it down. Looks good and it was both cheap, and quick to do.

I agree. Good notes and good pictures.

D810 about to be replaced.. though still the best camera I've used, D750 is good & is my 2nd body..

Must admit I with I'd waited a few months so I could consider the D500 - when I bought my D750.. that wold have been a tough decision.. though I do like the shallow DOF provided by FF.. & 24mp over 20mp

Anyone??

Can you send my photos?

Shame it's gone quiet on here, I really like this site.....
Anyway, welcome MissHorror

It's going to depend on your personal set up, a DAS is not so effective for me as I'm working off a couple of Mac's and the ability to share is priceless. Definitely consider a RAID system, if you go RAID 5, you're not giving up 50% of your storage, but one drive, so 4 x 4TB will give you 12TB of storage with 4TB reserved for fall over. Check out the Synology RAID calculator and you can play around with different scenarios. https://www.synology.com/en-us/support/RAID_calculator

Cost is going to be another factor, you're paying more for a NAS, but in terms of flexibility, they do so much more than a DAS. Budget permitting I'd go with Synology or QNAP

Goodsync's what we use at work between two offices.

For my own needs I use Syncback Pro... they're all much of a muchness.

Probably one of my friends shot with him regular despite me telling her not too but she said he was fine n they got on well.. But who am I to judge other people's decisions xx

Hi Alex. Welcome onboard. Apologies its a little quiet here at the moment. In terms of feedback on your profile The images are enough to see your figure and face, which is a good start. What they do not really show is modelling ability. That may be an issue with photographers who do not have the experience to guide models into poses.

I would fine some profiles of models that are a similar build who have poses you think work then start practicing in front of a mirror until you have a core set of poses you know you can pull off well. Then start replacing images with more contemporary work. I suspect a few may be the shots by your dad as they look like what I would have shot 30 years ago. Like I say server the purpose but need replacing when you can

Brings new meaning to "well, I have to run" lol... ok i jest, sorry, I hear putting healthy poop in there can help - saw it once on trust me im a doctor.

Damn our bodies and damn medical science.

I looked for "Application frame" but no sign anywhere in CS3 or Mac OS Sierra.. I think this is the way PS is supposed to work but it would be good to have an option. Thanks for your efforts.
