Does anyone know abou these people - they have emailed me asking me to become a'resident' photographer for my area - minimum of ten shoots per year, I get to keep the pics ) as long as I give them and the girls a set) blah blah blah and they want to CHARGE me ?250 a year for the privilege.

Any advice on this would be welcomes - I've not come across this kind of approach before .

Thanks
Rob

Well, if there are multiple sets to be provided, they must mean prints. Most commercial users would want slides, so what would you do with the photos you aquire like this?

Yes these things again. It depends on what girls they send you, how much they have charged them, what they have told them, are they being truthfull (yes love, you can be a fashion model; your 5ft nothing, Oh lovey they are lots of girls doing catwalk stuff your height, just gimme ?50 please, thanks).

Do you get them to sign a model release form, and big question really, will they be any good, or are you gonna be shooting for crufts ??

I think their handle should be gmug, cause that's what they are looking for.

They're based in Scotland and it's run by a guy called Andrew..

I've been thinking about using one of their models.. One minute she was on holiday and the next.. Back but 5 months pregnant.. Which they didn't tell me when they quoted me her rates a few days before.. hmmm.. Now you've got me wondering about them

Thnaks guys - I htink most have you have confimed ny suspicions. I spoke to a model yesterday who said she had worked with a photographer called David Chatto (?) and he had a major falling out with them over models supplied etc.

Does anyone know David , or if David is reading perhaps he can verify?

WWW.GMUK - perhaps you are reading this and can defend yourself !

It appear to be run ( or fronted by) a model called Anne Marrie Fee ( sometiems advertised as Taylor - blonde with dreads - any feedback or her, herself as a model ?


Thnaks to all.

Is it gmuk.com or ukgm.co.uk cos I cant get the first to work fully but...I think I know of the girl that you mean as shes definately on the ukgm site, shes also listed on the VVG site as Emma, according to that site shes doesnt do HC. However, a while back I contacted Uk glamour models (a fore runner of the GMUK site perhaps) for a model and was passed Taylor/Emma/Ann Marie details. When i asked about a health cert, the reply was that she didnt have one and the choice was mine!!! needless to say I stopped the enquiry there. How do I connect all 3 names well the sofas the same in the pictures for a start and as for the dreads - nuff said

hope you unjoy yourself stateside Mike
