Models needed for posters, book illustrations

[Oleg Volk]

One of the side effects of my falling out with Betty (runt_of_the_litter) has been a change in the policy on the photos I took of her. I may continue to use already created posters featuring Betty but not create anything new with the archived images of her. She also requested that I take down my web page about her, which I did only to comply with the request.

I have a number of posters in the making. I am also creating illustrations for a several of web sites and books about firearms. While I have several regularly available models in and around Nashville, most of them are not very convincing with firearms. I am looking for new faces, preferably people who would be available on a regular basis. Looks and age aren't all that significant, though some people are more photogenic than others (curiously, some very handsome folks don't work well on camera and vice versa). If you would like to volunteer or know anyone interested in becoming a regular photo subject for me, please let me know.

Thanks!

If you're ever out Albuquerque way, I and some of my friends would be glad to ham it up for your camera. I can even introduce you to the wonderful world of Enfields. And be sure to bring your Garand and I'll give you some long range rifle coaching. I was trained by two US Marine rifle experts.
I'll soon have my private pilot's license, so maybe I could come to you as well.

Oleg,

As I'm sure you already know, just give me a call anytime. Of course I'm not sure I'm exactly photogenic enough.

Frank, something like 80% of the shots taken of you have been immediately usable. I'll certainly call on you.

I'd be happy to if I wasn't 1,000 miles out of your way.

Count me and a small posse when you're up around Minneapolis way.

 

[Oleg Volk]

Was just there...and coming by again in April. Will take you up on the offer.

 

[Steve Smith]

Same with me, as I think I'll see you again in February at the SHOT show. Assuming my screen tests at your place were ok.

 

[Oleg Volk]

Yes, I need to post those on my site. Been distracted by other matters.

 

[Steve Smith]

I'm not exactly pretty, so don't feel bad about saying "Steve, I had to delete them, lest they damage the camara."

LOL!

If you're ever in PA, me and some friends would do it.

 

[Oleg Volk]

Why, I have plenty of photos showing your good side!

 

[Sven]

bwahaha!

 

[Oleg Volk]

Steve with Shiner Bock. See, I feed my models decent beer.

 

[Oleg Volk]

...and we even get around to photos with guns in them.

IF your ever in California send me a PM and bring your cheap camera. My face is sooo tactical.

As I said, I do look for variety. I photograph new people all the time. In addition to all of the out of town folks, I'd like to find a couple of steady subjects in or around Nashville.

 

[Steve Smith]

OMG, you put up the WORST pics that you have. Thanks...

At least I got a haircut before that one with Julia.

You're ded, Oleg, D-E-D.

 

[Sven]

Steve: you are now "Ice Cream Man" as far as I'm concerned. LOL.

 

[Steve Smith]

Note the strategic position of my little finger to prevent the melting ice cream from dripping on my pants.

 

[Oleg Volk]

Steve, is this better?

 

[Steve Smith]

Considerably! Just don't put up the one with the slice of mango!

 

[El Tejon]

Love stinks.

goes for me as well. Of course you'd have to venture deep behind enemy lines, San Francisco being the very belly of the beast.
