They seem both to be from same plase,so possibly friends,Chantelle copying someone elses profile.....


When Kayleigh was setting up her profile,she asked what should she write,so i gave few hints,and at the end it came out the way it is...


Chantelle came one month later copying Kayleigh

such as "I am very keen and will make sure i work hard to make sure i get the best photo possible "

I see a lot of the new girls will copy phrases from existing profiles like "looking for paid work but will consider TFCD if it .......", "bubbly personality, easy to get on with", "give 110%", etc.

I wouldn't expect every profile to completely different especially if they ar related.

I'd like to see more information being standard like height, sizes, experience, tattoos, piercings, work preferences and limits.

I suppose some people might get upset if a total stranger just copied and pasted their whole profile but only because it would be common courtesy to ask first, then I think most models would understand how a new girl feels, not knowing what to write and help her out (well I would anyway)

I'll not lie, when I started on these sites in the days before Folio  I would spend hours looking at other girls' sites to see what they wrote and what sounded good. I was able to pick up tips on things that I wasn't sure about (like rates and levels) and even things that had never entered my head (like the phrase "I am not interested in work of an adult nature so please do not contact me regarding this").

What I will say is, I don't know why models continue to copy profiles that just SCREAM unprofessional or can't be bothered attitudes... bad grammar, ignoring the fact that i is a capital letter I. If ya want 2come across all cute and bimbo like on yer Bebo then grand... but this is work and you need to be friendly and approachable without being silly.

Also, I don't know why they fill their profiles with their hobbies and their boyfriend that they love so much or the fact that they're addicted to Redbull or whatever else? I'm guessing a photographer wants to know generally what your experience is, what levels you're interested in and styles of photography if you've narrowed that down, an indication of your rates or portfolio building TFP interests and probably not that you enjoy dancing around your bedroom with a hairbrush in your hand

Well I guess it's not really on if you just copy & paste from another profile (unless you have the permission of the other person involved I guess...Which maybe this girl does!?)

I agree with Leanne about being professional, more importantly when first starting out. You need to show a genuine interest, not just want a second bebo site. I do like a bit of humour in people's profiles as I think it shows your not up your own a**...as for some reason most people tend to think any of us who have a good set of images and a strong reputation are. But there is a fine line between that and "i luv to go out and get blocked at the weekend"...or "i spend mi wknds off my face"......Erm What???! This irritates me very badly, I hate even seeing it on bebo as it just degrades girls so much but NOT on a professional site that you are hopeing to make a career (or are you?) out of!

I do agree with Leanne though, when I first started I used to trawl through other models profiles to get a general idea of what I should put on mine, as there becomes a certain lingo and when you start you just don't understand it so you need to get a feel for what to say, as I remember feeling really imtimidated when I started not knowing who to look professional or even interesting without any decent imaged under my belt!

I'm not really sure what you are on about, I have looked at your profile and the other girls, I dont see that they have copied you,

Chantelle is Kayleighs cousin, if you are saying that both have copied you then I can't see it, if you are saying that Chantelle has copied a line from Kayleigh's then its up to Kayleigh to say to Chantelle and not you as its Kayleighs that has been copied.

'I am very keen and will make sure i work hard to make sure i get the best photo possible'

I'm sure this has been used 100's of times within models portfolio.
