I am a passenger...

Can't post any more up of this shoot as it may be published but I liked this shot from yesterday. Model is Alina, 5'9" Russian girl. In the shot I think she really makes you want to get in the car with her!



Can anyone guess the car?

cornbeef legs Nice shoot though, do you pay for the models or are you getting comissioned? How did you make your fist break?

[Gingerbread Man]

Love the shot.

Looking at the colour & windscreen angle - I'm going to guess at the Dodge Charger that used to be owned by Richard Hammond...

Let me know if I win

Sounds painful.

[nick_bbb]

It's not a Charger or even a Dodge but you're in the right ballpark, even the same year as the Hamstermobile. His old Charger is now a General Lee

I need to sort out the corn beef legs, it was bloody cold yesterday

[nick_bbb]

As for commission, not really you have to shoot your work and then tout it about the mags. Sometimes I pay for the models, sometimes they do it in exhange for portfolio shots. Yesterday I didn't pay for the model but did pay for a make up artist who did a good job but we were sitting about for 2 hours waiting to get started.

I'm looking at doing a makeup course either this year or next. If only to learn some basics about foundation etc. I tend to advise people coming to shoots to try a little foundation but would like to learn more about the art myself

[toothlessjim]

is the car a mustang? failing that a chevy camero maybe, assuming its an american muscle car im not too good at spotting what they are just from shots like that.

[CY88]

Wild guess.... "Mercury Comet"?

(the convertible version was driven by Jack Nicholson in "The Passenger" )



ETA: or ...... a plymouth as seen here...

And several close seconds, as (IIRC) the '69 Roadrunner uses the same roof, glass & doors as a Charger of the same era

Roadrunner fact: Plymouth paid Warner Bros $50K for the rights to use the Roadrunner name (Beep beep), and the cartoon character itself, on the car.

hi nick, nice work yet again!

how do you go about getting your models then? (where!)

[nick_bbb]

50K sounds cheap now.

The horn makes the "beep beep" noise too

Mainly from www.modelmayhem.com/member.php?id=254759 you can post casting calls, for this shoot over 50 models applied. It's hard work choosing which one to use

cheers man i'l check that out...i take it you get them to sign a release in return for prints ect?

[nick_bbb]

I have a relase form but don't think it counts for much in this Country to be honest. None of the mags I have worked with have asked for a copy.

Here is the main wording, which I'm sure I robbed off the internet...

I the Model hereby assign full copyright of these photographs to Nick Grant ("The Photographer&quot together with the right of reproduction either wholly or in part.

I agree that the Photographer or licensees or assignees can use the above-mentioned photographs either separately or together, either wholly or in part, in any way and in any medium.

The Photographer and licensees or assignees may have unrestricted use of these for whatever purpose, including advertising, with any reasonable retouching or alteration.

I agree that the above mentioned photographs and any reproductions shall be deemed to represent an imaginary person, and further agree that the Photographer or any person authorised by or acting on his or her behalf may use the above mentioned photographs or any reproductions of them for any advertising purposes or for the purpose of illustrating any wording, and agree that no such wording shall be considered to be attributed to me personally unless my name is used.

Provided my name is not mentioned in connection with any other statement or wording which may be attributed to me personally, I undertake not to prosecute or to institute proceedings, claims or demands against either the Photographer or his or her agents in respect of any usage of the above mentioned photographs. I have read this model release form carefully and fully understand its meanings and implications.

...there is a also a table with both names, addresses, date of shoot, location and remuneration (which could be TFCD).
