Some modeling questions?

[HaleyCatgirl]

So I've been doing seasonal modeling for clothing and I like it because I get to keep some of the clothing afterwards. The modeling agency is trying to expand my portfolio (that was very difficult to say in English, lol). That meets certain requirements, undergarments stuff (I do not like) Co-op photo shoots with dudes (very uncomfortable don't want to do because I have a boyfriend) I'm just happy with the seasonal stuff even the summer beach categories are uncomfortable but just enough to actually still do it.

I kind of want out, work at 7-Eleven I'm going to school and that's taking up a lot of time and then my weekends are this. It was fun at first but it's not anymore but I also really enjoy the free clothing. Lol I really want to focus on my first relationship with my boyfriend which the modeling is kind of interfering with now because of the weekends. I just enjoy laying here with my boyfriend and stuff I don't want to have to worry about having to get up when I technically wouldn't have to. This was kind of scatterbrained everywhere lol. Really bad with questions

What is the question?
As long as you aren't 18, no agency will force you get a contract abroad.

I'm not really worried about going abroad it's just it's very time consuming and they're wanting me to expand the portfolio to not just seasonal photos if you catch my drift and it's making me very uncomfortable I should have been more clear I apologize.

Don’t do anything your not comfortable with.

[HaleyCatgirl]

I appreciate what you said considering talking to the people in charge of my portfolio I hope this works out in my favor

I’m in the industry…other side not a model lol. Uhh you’re provably being played by creeps.

[HaleyCatgirl]

So how would I avoid that

[OddBeMe]

Making sure photographers or designers are invested in their art or company. I commonly post ads for models and like helping their careers. But I make sure my media company and experience are noted and even offer to meet with them.

Basically doing some homework on people. I’ve been there, I’ve been defrauded for $4k by a guy online. Still bugs me. Be even worse if it was sexual fraud, like assault I’d imagine.

[HaleyCatgirl]

Did some thinking about what you said I have noticed some like creepy stuff that has been happening I'm just glad somebody else confirmed that. 🥴 I'm going to talk to somebody next time I go hopefully I can make it very clear what I want to do and what I don't want to do

[OddBeMe]

And location. Feel free to bring a buddy.

[HaleyCatgirl]

I will

Good luck! message me offline and I’ll send you some links to pics I did. Some are fun boudoir which weee more uncomfortable for me than the model lol

But actual photographers are just looking for great images, not taking advantage. And the models have new demo pics plus some money. If you’re good at it never do it for free.
