Help with casting (and this site)

This is a great idea with a lot of potential but, I cant figure out how to contact people I find when i search by location.

Can anyone help me with that?

Also I'm trying to cast a shoot in Scottsdale / Phoenix for late March and need a bunch of talent. Please contact dan@db2stock.com if you can help at all.

Thanks,

Dan

Hi Dan,

I'll send out an email for you to all members.

Can you be more specific about the talent you're looking for?

Is this paid or trade?

Also, feel free to make suggestions, my plan is to incorporate a community with a selling portal.

I'm working with http://www.stockmodels.com, http://www.stockmodels.net and this ning community and have not settled on the right softwares yet.

Chuck

Hi Chuck,

Thats great, I appreciate the help.

I'm looking for 50+ cast and this is ongoing paid work.

Re. suggestions, perhaps you could email your contact details offline and I'll email you any comments I have? I think this is a fantastic idea and one that has a lot of potential and I want to support it.

There is a lot of great talent out there missing out on opportunities to make decent money because their "agents" wont even tell them about work from stock photogs because the agents cut is not big enough. I could tell you lots of stories but, in the end, I've had to street cast, use model mayhem etc. etc. in order to cast for stock even though we pay for talent.

Back in time to look like Polaroid?

I was recently hired to shoot the fall 2011 look book for premium denim company Frankie B.

Daniella Clarke, designer/owner mentioned the words "polaroid look" to me, so this is what I

Came up with. Square format. Natural light. Sometimes muted sometimes saturated, strange, uncontrolled colors. Definitely a fun shoot! The actual look book is about 14 images. The model is Samantha from Photogenics.

Cross Process C-41 Film through E-6 Chemistry

A number of years ago there was a creative rage for "Cross Processing" film.
Cross processing could be defined as a technique where you expose negative film and develop it in chemistry that is meant to process transparency film - or vice versa. I played around with this technique quite a bit and my all time favorite recipe was to shoot Kodak VHC negative film and process it in E-6 chemistry.

I would typically shoot type 669 polaroid to get a 100 ISO exposure and then open up or "overexpose" by one stop. I would then run a "snip test" at +2 stops.

As far as light sources go, In the case below I used a mix of natural light and tungsten to get the deep blue colors along with the softer, warmer skin tones. The photo below is of the beautiful Kimberly Bachofer

The above photo is model released and available as stock - Cross Process Beauty
