Hi,

I am just starting out and having done a couple of productions I really want to sink my teeth into more projects. I also have an idea for a service that I could provide, so I?m also interested in what you think to my idea/service aswell as looking for some shoots with any ladies, please click my link on my profile for more details.

Anyway heres my product/idea:

I did the two productions with the same girl and after chatting a few times on the phone since she mentioned that a couple of months ago she went to do a photo shoot for a photographer and he tried it on big style and she was very scared and stop doing any work with people she didn't know. Anyway I offered to be her 'MINDER' on shoots. This involved driving her to shoots either waiting outside in the car or in the property in another room etc (depending on the situation). In return for doing this I got my petrol costs and a cut of the shoot money. This suited both of us because although the model was doing most of the work, if she hadn't have hired me she wouldn't have taken the job due to safety reasons. So she still got some money, more exposure and more shots for her portfolio.

So what I want to know is do you think models out there would be interested in a MINDER/DRIVER service? Especially ones who don't tell their close/loved ones what they do so if they did get in trouble wouldn't be able to call etc? So what I'm going for is the piece of mind that they would be safe and wouldn't have to turn down work? Would you use a service like this? You know of other models that have had bad experiences or dodgy emails that has made them turn down work?

I live between Sheffield and Leeds and so could do a minder service from anywhere in Yorkshire and even from Nottingham, Leeds, Manchester, Liverpool, Leicester, and Birmingham - do you know anyone who might want to use me?

Apart from the MINDER service I'm also looking for new productions to do some more shoots on so I was wondering if you had your own website or are doing any up and coming shoots would you need a male? I really need to start getting my portfolio up and running so I need to start knocking on some doors :-)

I am happy to do any shared content work etc

Thanks for taking the time to read this,

Kind Regards
