I have asked if im interested in joining up with a free lance model agency. the guy says that he has loads of client agencies who he finds models for and he wants to know if im interested, he reckons i have what it takes...i reckon its some kind of joke or wind up, or not kosher at all, im not model type, thats what i told him and he said that he could find lots of things that would suit me...i said if i ever wanted to i would stick with fashion and that it!!!! hes not come back to me yet, but i think it sounds dodge!

Steph, call his bluff. Say you have a friend (er, that's me!) who has connections with modelling agencies and that you'll join them via her, thank you very much! What I'm on about is that I work with a former model who still has connections with modelling agencies in London. Also, my sis-in-law in London, who's a professional photographer, gets to photograph models sometimes - fully clothed models, that is! x

I asked him what work i could do apart from Nude...this is what he said! Product placement is where a model is used to sell an item - anything from a car, boat, sunbed, etc. Gallery Art is what you would find in an art gallery - Black & White, Body Painting, Digital Manipulation, etc. I do not charge for any promotional work I do for a model, even a portfolio will not cost you anything through me if I feel I can get work for you. I get 20% of the shoot prices, this way I only get paid if and when you do. Is there anything else you would like to know? Andrew
