Would you be interested in modelling for me? I’m in the process of building up a photography portfolio and I need your help. I’m looking for people of all ages, couples, individuals and families who would be interested in having their photographs taken for free at a location somewhere in Dublin (to be decided) in about two weeks time (I’m thinking a Saturday would probably be best for people). It would only take about an hour of your time and I would give anyone who took part a free image at the end of it all. Of course, you would have to be willing for me to use the photographs in my portfolio but don’t worry, I won’t use your name if you don’t want me to! Just scroll through my blog for examples of my photos but here and here are a good place to start. You could also check out my Flickr stream.
So, if you’re interested, email me at gingerpixelATyahooDOTcoDOTuk, tell me a bit about yourself and details of who you would like me to photograph and I’ll give you some more information.
Update: Thanks everyone for your response…I now have enough models for the day.

Oh, why not. I’ll give it a go. It has to be a nice photo though. 🙂
yay! I’ll volunteer if you need to make up the numbers 🙂
Great! Watch for an email 🙂
Hey, sounds good, got some done 10 years ago and loved them as generally I am uber un-photogenic. May have a course that sat but sure we can work around – otherwise best of luck with it.
OK
i don’t get out of bed for less than 3.50 Euro though
I especially like taking photos of people. I have been thinking about doing something like this myself – just in the last few days in fact. I might ask some friends before moving on to strangers. I almost asked an old couple who asked me what day it was as I was taking photos today. They missed Saturday…
I wish you luck and look forward to hearing how it goes.
Flirty: I’m sure we can work around your course. I’ll email you.
Peter: Ah sure, I only wanted pictures of Lynette anyway 😛
Phil: Thanks Phil, I will report how it goes on the blog. I’m looking forward to seeing what you come up with too. I am always seeing people that I almost ask but then I chicken out.
[…] road photowalk Gingerpixel has announced that she is looking for models for her portfolio. This is something that has been on my mind also […]
Claire,
This is a terrible offer you have made. Here I am in Cork, excluded, outside the Pale, condemned to witness the preferred portraits from afar.
I remember being in Paris when CBresson was looking for a subject, and I was walking down the other street.
There is nothing for it but you have to travel to Cork where I’ll model for you on each of the bridges off the island that stands in the Lee. No one has ever been photographed on every one of the bridges, so you could make a whole portfolio around photo-bridges. A new genre, eh.
If you’re into canoeing while photographing, it would be even better: the challenge of getting the depth of field right on a moving current… such a powerful angle of vision…
I hope you’re not moving away from animation.
Hi Claire, Thanks so much! I’m so looking forward to it. My family hate having photos taken and I’m incredibly unphotogenic so it will be a big challenge for you! I was just thinking that if it works out, it would be the first time I met a blogger human being in the flesh!
Omani you should travel up ‘From Cork to Dublin with Baby Grace’. (Think of the blogpost potential if nothing else, although you seem to need no inspiration to write!)
If you like, I can bring along a variety of glasses, hats and clothing, and see which one looks more ridiculous?
Or which one looks cooler. You decide.
Sorry Omani, but if I ever decide to do a photo-trip to Cork you’ll be the first to know. Don’t worry, animation still takes first place. In fact I have a lot of animation lined up for this year, I just can’t really talk about it on the blog!
Hi Aquaasho, I’m looking forward to it too and to meeting you. As for being unphotogenic I don’t believe a word of it 🙂
Matt, sure, why not! Could be fun to see what results we get 😀
Oh, your photos are gorgeous !
I wish I could be included ! I’m sure you’ll create a wonderful portfolio. The photo of your daughter on the grass coming down from the sugar high is amazing.
Best of luck on the day !
