just want to make myself clear.

I just want the newbies in this industry that be aware and know first the craft that you want to be in.

There are new models here that's almost everyday asking for a photo shoots, why? you don't have someone to join you in a photo shoot? are you asking for a TF if you ask for photo shoot? if you're asking for a XDEAL photoshoot, could you do your OWN MAKE-UP? or you're asking the photog to have their HMUA first? or you're asking for a wardrobe to the photog, for you to wear in the shoot? Here's more; Are you asking for fare or obliging the photog to feed you? if you answer YES! Then ask first, what's your set-up when you do the XDEAL shoot. Not all photogs could compensate the expense for a photoshoot, FARE, FOOD. WATER, VENUE, HMUA, would you think a average photog could accomodate this expenses? I'm saying this coz i have a lot of photog friends whose complaining this scenaarios and they can't brought it up becoz baka isipin ng mga models walang mapapala sa photog na to gutom! I'm speaking in general, so newbies don't ne PALKA AHKUM. (kapal mukha) to ask for a paid shoot, even famous models pays for a shoot.

Perhaps it would help if we guide the new MSM members, especially the aspiring models or what others call newbies, to check out the Forums section of this website.   There's a Question & Answer Section for Newbie Models.  Here's the link: http://www.modelsearchmanila.com/forum/t.php?forumID=1

Marami po tayong matututunan sa pagbasa palang ng Forums section natin dito.

May we also request everyone to "speak and act" in a more professional manner - since that's what, i guess, most of the members here aspire to be - PROFESSIONALS.   Dun rin po tayo papunta, so ngayon palang mag-sanay na tayo.

Furthermore, let's help make the MSM community a community built on trust, friendship, encouragement, further learning, earning opportunity, and of course, fun.

Cheers!

I don't judge of what you want to be, or how would do it or your strategy to be a model but first and formost pls be realistic, if you don't have a portfolio to say that your a model DON'T demand for a TF or
 allowance in the shoot let your sponsor do that task don't charge everything at the photog.
If you got a XDEAL  shoot know first what's exdeal or the inclusive of the said shoot

facepalm.
