just need a little bit to justify my presence here in the regard of what happened today .. i know maybe some of you are asking about my other assigtements since i said i am experienced and its a fair point of view and understandabil since i am new on folio32 and some of you didnt work with me yet ... as i said i respect and understand everybody opinion regarding me ... i have other assigtement but not in this country but no pictures since i wasnt smart enough to ask them imediattly when the assigtement was over or even not received them even was a part of the deal ... so before i am being judged that i dont know what i am doing i would like a fair trial meaning if you feel that you have any question about me beeing here just book me for tpf and you will see i can prove my point and ofter give an opinion about me .. i am not going to say i am a beginner for the sake of others since i am not .. everybody its entitled to any opinion  but i cant lie ... so if i disturb anybody with my presence i am really sorry or if i am not welcome on this website there will be no pb there are any sites but as i said i give everybody a chance so i expect one in return ....i am still waiting from pictures from my last assigtements ...so i will post them as soon as i have them ...again i am happy to be here and hope that we can get along well ... thanks for reading this hope to get in touch ..

Hi Unica, I don't know what 'happened today' but as some friendly advice; people will believe evidence rather than claims - particularly on the internet.
Maybe you could email the people you previously worked with and ask them for an image or two. Surely at least one person would oblige, if explain your position here. Or you could list the work you did in your profile or link to a site where there are images of you (e.g. a photographer's website).
Otherwise, as you say, you will most likely need to work TFX here to 'prove yourself'. There are loads of photographers here that I'm sure would be happy to oblige.

I don't know how what you are referring to regarding being unwelcome, but as far as I can see, everyone is welcome here and contact anyone directly for help or advice.

Hi Unica,

Welcome to the site.

It's true that it's unfair to be labelled as an unexperienced model just because you've no evidence of previous work to show but at the same time it's unfair to ask professional photographers to book you with full rates without having seen any evidence of your modeling ability. Whilst it's nice to give new models 'a chance' we have to remember that for some people, photography is a livelihood and some people cannot afford to dish out a few hundred euros for a new model on the off-chance that she's a winner, Especially when they have to pay things like studio hire and a MUA on top of this also.

The best way to get yourself some work is to do a few TFP shoots with good photographers so that you can get yourself seen. Some models even pay for a model portfolio- there are a few photographers on Folio that offer this service at a good rate. If you feel that you've had enough experience and you do not wish to pay for such a service then i would still recommend working TFP with a photographer or two, otherwise you may struggle to get work until you get your images from previous shoots.

If you check the ''sticky'' thread at the top of this forum by Thorsten called Modeling Advice, there is some useful info on there for models new to Folio.

Good luck,

Angela

hy everybody thanks for the tips i just posted a few pics theere will be coming more ... i am willing to do tpf with the right photographer since thew dont work with me before ... i would like to know how its the rate in dublin as for glamour non nude casual bussiness commercial lenjerie and topless ? could somebody provided me with this details please ? i am trying to be affordable so i need update with info about rates from models thank you for everybody who was welcoming me to folio32 ... and waiting for a reply here or on my profile ... thanks again and cheers ..

In defence of unica, I've done a shoot with her and I do believe she has prior experience of modelling.  Or else she spends a lot of time in front of the mirror (only joking)

She is coming from a different market (Italy/Romania) and maybe there's a bit of a culture shock for everyone... folio32 is not the centre of the universe...

Her spoken English is very good and she has lots of ideas/poses.  She is also good at keeping in touch via email and turns up on time.  Her written English lets her down a bit but then so does mine sometimes...

Maybe she jumped in here with both feet, but give her a chance.  If you like her look, she is a reliable model who is prepared to work hard.

I personally think editorial would suit her better but that's my 2c
