		OPINION MENU - POST OPINION - PREVIOUS - NEXT Wedesday, January 18, 2006 We Need Professionalism In Photography As 2006 begins, many models in the Tampa Bay area have noticed that model photography in this market needs to change. We have too many guys with cameras offering low quality TFP (Time For Print) services, basically shooting for free and giving aspiring models the impression that starting a modeling career doesn’t have to cost a dime. This is incorrect, and it’s really beginning to destabilize the model portfolio photography market and, more important to me, is giving models, especially freelancers who work without depending on an agency, a bad name. That’s only the beginning of my issues, though. Just yesterday, yet another Tampa Bay based, self proclaimed model portfolio photographer, who just happened to be a TFP’er and who posted spectacularly amateur-level work, was arrested for taking nude and risque pictures of an underage model. How did he do it? By using a portfolio networking site! These amateur photographers and clueless models running around are giving us all a bad reputation, and I am sick of it. We need more professional freelance photographers and professional freelance models making themselves known. If they don’t, then it only gives old-industry model and talent agencies more leverage in business, and stunts the advancement of the new industry. I am hopeful, however. The market has a tendency to bounce back and keep itself in check. Those who are unprofessional, ironically, just happen to make those of us who are professional look better in the eyes of those who really matter in our careers, and that’s just fine by me. I’ll rant more about this later. For now, on to more positive things. I hope that you all like the newest version of Tampa Bay Modeling, which launched today. It took long enough. The new site is up, but most of our advanced features remain offline at the moment. We ported our old content over to the new format, and will be spending the next few days going through and editing it. We will also be segmenting the long sections into subsections, which will eliminate the scrolling that we all hate. Well, at least I know that I hate too much scrolling. Keep checking back every day, as we’ll have the site fully operational within a week. It will take a few more weeks, however, to get it where we want it. So, what’s new? I’ll tell you one thing for now: The new Tampa Bay Modeling is designed to be a scrapper of a site, a fighter, and is more than equipped to address the needs and concerns of the Tampa Bay and Florida modeling industry. Welcome aboard, and enjoy the wild ride! ~ Danielle Cooper, Editor Tampa Bay Modeling Clearwater Beach, Florida
