Its just nobody can name a male model most can name a few gal models. Kate Moss. Twiggy. Jean Shrimp ton. And the gal models make a few decimal points more cash than the poor guys do. Put me on your mailing list its a rare occasion I'm not in the mood to see a pretty face. I've shot for or had pix in : Cond? Nast - Mademoiselle, Speedo, White Stag, Jantzen bathing suits a slew of high end hair people, the modeling agencies themselves., a lot of musicians have a glamour thing going... Courtney Love..., fashion issues for various Portland OR papers and magazines, a slew of modeling portfolios and glamour promotional head shots for models, singers, dancers ...boutique clothing stores. I did full time 9 to 5 retail fashion photography in a Portland department store: Meier and Frank, I also did an involved shoot for Nordstrom and was involved in one of their fashion shows. Dehen Inc. knitwear, Oregon Magazine, Multnomah Monthly, Vogue Designers: Palmer-Plesh, Perfect Look - Clairol- Revlon, Oregon fashion Consortium, Sachet lingerie, Town and Country... This is cutting and pasting from my r?sum? I didn't just type all this stuff out. Lots of pretty faces. Doing a whole lot less of that now. These gals are not to be under estimated many are real professionals who can make life much easier for a photographer trying to get a name making shot. The Lug ethic seems to be all about street photography. Well coincidently that's what I've mainly been doing now. And cracking the gallery market here in Chelsea. One of my first gallery shows I ever had the people came over to my studio and I showed them my tide pools. They looked bored and pointed to the large pix of babes on my studio walls. That's what they wanted I printed some of those up on 11x14 fiber paper and matted and framed them with museum board. That was the White Gallery at Portland State University. 1981! But the Shado Gallery in Oregon city did the same thing to me. And that really was my first gallery show. But it was in Oregon city. In a blizzard. Not a big showing for the opening. 1977! "Girls only" he said. On 7/11/14 8:10 PM, "Geoff Hopkinson" <hopsternew at gmail.com> wrote: > Agree with all of the above Mark.
