Hello people

I am currently setting up a modelling portfolio for myself and have a photographer who is local to me although consider serious offers of other togs out there ... Have added a pic ... BTW I'm NOT attention seeking I am also a car and bike lover!

Anyway I'm looking to do some shoots along side nice cars and motorbikes etc So not only open to offers of cars and bikes I am in great need of somewhere to go to take them obviously with our fabulous English weather it'd be good to find an undercover location either a studio which can accomodate a car/bike, lock up, warehouse or something just to stay out of the rain!



Anyway hopefully I will here from some of you soon

Erm, I don't mean to speak out of turn, but are you trying to build a portfolio of you, or of cars? What I'm saying in a model portfolio there primary focus should be on the model, not the situation - there's a risk that taking yourself in context with a vehicle may take the attention off you...

I fully understand you want to so how your look can work in different genres, but I'd concentrate on showcasing yourself first, then a vehile or two afterwards.

I'm sure some of the others (who, unlike me specialise in this area) will be able to advise better.

edited to add:
That said I know nothing of your portfolio as it is, it may need nothing other than a few targeted media shots.

Yeah I get what your saying and have had a few photoshoots of just myself and have a couple more booked in the pipeline but I want to specialise in this area if at all possible due my interest in the area and also wouldnt mind pics of me with fab cars and bikes even if nothing comes of it! LOL

Cheers

That's a bit of a shame, I'm headed in the opposite direction to the Lotus 60th anniversary tomorrow. I have a couple of nice Lotus's, an S1 Egixe and an Esthi (only one in the world).
