Your portfolio consists of mass-produced mediocrity, mind-numbingly repetitive. You have no inkling what photography is about, you think that following some standard lighting setup, using a face-painter, and some cheap rags that pass for clothes, and of course, using schmodels produces great photography. Spare us this visual noise, get a day job!

Hi, Adele,

I really like your photos. You are very creative!! ;-) (Wink) I have a serious question for you, because I also like to create photos. My question is, how do you make money, doing this type of photography?? I'm Super serious, because I've just begun to try to develop my "style" AND I don't want to Mimic others! What's the secret to doing what you LOVE, and make some money!

Any advice would be MUCHO APPRECIATED!

:-) (Smile) gregory

Hi Gregory,

Lol - first of thank you.

Now to answer your question......

There are so many photographers out there that it is becoming a huge battle to get clients and hold on to them. What helps me is the fact that I shoot all types of genres, but in the end though it is the more creative style that pulls in the money. A model can go to anybody for a normal shoot.... and most of the times for free. They do however become bored by doing only fashion and want arb and creative shoots - and that is where I come in :-) (Smile)

The secret is to be able to shoot anything, but find a genre that you can be unique in.

Trust me - I not only speak as a photographer, but as a former model - so I tend to understand what they want.

Hope that helps

Hey, Adele,

Yes, your advice is very meaningful. Question... Are your models paying you for your photography services? I've been Paying Models I find off Craig's List. I'm on Model Mayhem, but that has not done much for me ;-) (Wink)
thanks! -gregory

Hi Gregory,
