Advice for a part-time model?
Hi, I'm 19, a sophomore art/photography major in college, and putting myself through school with loans and some modeling gigs on the side. I've surprised myself with how mI've managed to act/comport myself so professionally at such a young age and its really boosted my confidence. But I am currently scheduled to do my first nude shoot. It is with a local artistic photographer whose work I know well enough that I DO trust that the shoot will be artistic/tasteful, that the images wont be sold except in his art gallery, etc etc. But I'm still scared out of my wits. I know posing for artistic nudes comes with the job description, and I know need to grow up and get used to being a model--which isn't always nothing but glamerous/fun shoots (just as a nurse can't choose not to change bedpans, models have to, well, model haha). But that doesn't make me any less freaked out. No guys have ever really seen me naked. Heck I've gotten freaked out just with having to change and be fitted for dresses in big ol busy rooms for fashion shoots etc.....so posing solo in the buff has me scared crapless. I know it isn't professional to back out on a gig last minute, and I know that gigs like this come with the territory, and I know I can trust this photographer.....so it isn't any of that. I just am scared. And want advice and perspective.

hey see www.moneyjobz.com for this. you'll see the links specificly about this on the left and the right side so you dont have to go and search everywhere Source(s): searched and visited personally.
2 :
If you're not comfortable with something, don't do it. But you seem as if you want to, so start by thinking about what makes you so nervous. Is it just the fact that nobody has ever really seen your body before? Is it a self-confidence issue? Either way, just tell yourself that you're going to do it and you have nothing to worry about it, and everything will be fine.

Advice for a part time model
Advice for a part time model.?
Hi, I'm 19, a sophomore art/photography major in college, and putting myself through school with loans and some modeling gigs on the side. I've surprised myself with how many gigs I've been able to get so fast, and how I've managed to act/comport myself so professionally at such a young age. Its really boosted my confidence. But I am currently scheduled to do my first nude shoot. It is with a local artistic photographer whose work I know well enough that I DO trust that the shoot will be artistic/tasteful, that the images wont be sold except in his art gallery, etc etc. But I'm still scared out of my wits.

Posing nude does not come with the job description. A majority of models don't do nudes. If you decide to, that's your business. But remember what happens if you become successful - those photos will surface and can cost you your career.
2 :
Don't do it if you are scared or uncomfortable. When you have more experience under your belt then you can consider it. Who is pressuring you if anyone. I would just tell the photographer that you are just not ready to do it. If it means no more modeling gigs with this photographer, find someone else.
3 :
don't do it
4 :
The things that frighten you the most will often unfold to be the greatest experiences in your life, you have to be in it to win it.

OK don't get me wrong here. I enjoy the female form as much as anyone else. I would just as certainly advocate for you to pose nude if I thought you were really ready for that. But where is it written that you MUST pose nude? Whose rule book are you following here? I live in Toronto, and there are tons of talent, and modelling agencies. In my capacity as a security consultant, I have been in more than one of the very top modelling agencies offices and have overheard the agents tell their prospective clients to remove the nude shots from their portfolios, on more than one occasion. Furthermore, if you have worked as a model in the past, and have gotten a satisfactory number of gigs, then for what reason do you think it is now necessary to add posing nude to your resume' at this juncture? I agree, it is bad form to back out of a professional obligation. But if you can't separate your personal feelings from your work, then you aren't ready for this. I don't know what your agreement is with this photographer. But if you aren't carefull, once the shutter on his camera has clicked, then the picture is probably his property, and that may be until the end of all time, and you may not have any control over how he decides to use those pictures. Maybe you are right, you do need to grow up. But part of growing up doesn't require you to place yourself in a position where you are vulnerable, or can be taken advantage of. Maybe gigs like this do come with the territory. But so does your right to refuse to do things you don't want. I recommend that you call this photographer NOW, and sincerely tell him how sorry you are to cancel, but you aren't ready for posing nude for anyone. One last thing. You say your confidence has taken a boost. I'll bet that is with good reason. You are probably a very attractive young woman. If you really are more confident, then let this be your most serious test of that. If you were worth having there for modelling with clothing on before this, then you will be just as worthwhile having for future gigs without posing nude. You just have to be confident enough in yourself to know that. Good Luck! :-)

What kind of musical group (choir or symphonic band) comes to mind with this name, "Hymns for Him"
What kind of musical group (choir or symphonic band) comes to mind with this name, "Hymns for Him"?
I'm researching to help start up a group of band students in middle school and high school to play as small ensembles, (like duets, trios, quartets..etc.) solos, and actually band pieces at my church and maybe a nearby nursing home. We'd play hymns and church-appropriate songs. This is just the beginning of everything! :) I was thinking of the name for this group to be Hymns for Him, but I'm thinking it may sound more like a choir group rather than a symphonic band. Thank you :)

Is he treting me unfairly
Is he treting me unfairly?
Been engaged for 2 years to a man who has serious financial obligations to his ex and children. I like his kids but feel as though I can no longer pay half of our household bills, he makes about 4 times what I do. I'm a full time student and I work but it is not enough money. I'm tired of being left alone untill 10 every night. For the last year I took care of his elderly father who recently went into a nursing home- because I'm no longer doing this he says he can no longer subsidize my cell phone and 40 buck a week health insurance. I know his kids come first but should he cut me a break on the cell phone and insurance untill I finish school in 2 years? I feel as though 100 percent of my income is going to our house. I have a child who lives with us that I support entirely but with my income I cant subsidize his kids to. He pays there rent, tuition, books, utilities on apartment, and the ex 2200 a month- altogether he pays out about 65,000 a year which leaves us with little and my child really poor. Should I move into a cheap affordable appartment and go solo? Before you bash me and say we are not married keep in mind I pay half the house expenses on a house that I dont own and never will also I spent the last year taking care of an 86 year old man with alzheimers his father and it was not easy. I'm really glad his kids have no struggles financially but mine does.

Well that's weird that he has to pay so much money, i mean.. is ok to have to pay child support and alimony which is required if they were married for a long time.. talk to him and let him know he has other responsibilities but if thats the money he is required to pay .. deal with it, when you get with a men with kids you need to be strong enough to deal with all the problems that come with it.. and if you dont want to go through this.. then leave him.
3 :
is your child his? if not he still has his own obligation sorry that doesnt leave much to u
4 :
you really did get the short end of the stick on this one . . . sorry but he's not thinking clearly or fairly
