118 Listener Questions | (17:43) The Pod people are revealed in this episode, you can actually watch Shawna and Ron do their podcasting thing in this video episode. We answer your questions this week. Listener Question: "How do you know when a project is finished? Not a single shoot, where the goal is usually clear, but a collective, like William Wegman and his dogs, Avedon's portraits against a white background, etc." http://www.modelmayhem.com/1878293 Steve wrote: I have started to hire models for regular studio photoshoots but have a question about payment etiquette. Normally my shoots have been about 2-3 hours, but for the first 30-45 minutes the model is usually putting on makeup & getting dressed. Up to this point and as a rule I started the clock when the model shows up. In the modeling profession is it expected the rate is based on the arrival time, or the time the model is ready to start shooting. I'm definitely not cheap, but I wanted to know if there is an excepted practice. Nice podcast, keep up the excellent work. A model "Can I see all the images from the shoot? Not just the good ones?"

111 – Weeee’rrrre Back! | (20:25) And Shawna is punchy. But not in the way that leaves Ron bloody at the end of the show. Find out what she's been doing during our break that has made her funny all the time. We also talked about changes that are coming to Photographer and Model from Ron. The biggest change is the opening of the Photographer and Model Community Forum. When I started this whole model photography journey, I started on a forum. These days it doesn't seem there are any good forums for model photographers. I was talking to my studio partners and they were thinking the same thing. There are a lot of photography forums out there and many may have a model photography section, but nothing dedicated to just photographers who shoot models. And is there anywhere that models and photographers interact? That was one of the things I really like back in the day was experienced models would give their feedback on my images and my portfolio. It helped. We here at P&M are uniquely set up to create that kind of place, and so the Photographer and Model Community Forum is born. Go check it out and introduce yourself. Like all new forums it is a little barren right now, but that will change quickly. Should we post when we book someone for the show? Answer that in the forums, because comments are now gone.

When you interview models and photographers every week, you hear all kinds of reasons for why they became involved in model photography. Never before this episode, however, had we heard "concern for the direction of American politics" as one of those reasons. Allow us to introduce photographer Oleg Volk. He is one of those photographers that can use the verb "shoot" in a variety of contexts. If you browse firearm catalogues and publications, chances are you have seen some of his work.

This week's guest is pinup photographer Larry Munne, a long time fan of the podcast and instructor of photography. We have had pinup photographers on the show before (one excellent example being Robert Alvarado), but Larry is not just a rehash of pinup talk. We had an awesome time discussing fashion concepts for weddings, model theatrics, and why you might not want to take photos full time. If that were not enough, we even talk Weiner…and why his shenanigans raise a bigger question: will the photos you post in your model photography ventures come back to haunt you? Check it out.

exciting, informative and will be continuing to listen
a podcast series containing good interviews, quality ideas and information for photographers and models alike hosted by a duo who obviously have a good feel for where they want this podcast series to go. will definitely be following further episodes
Excellent!!
This podcast is always informative and entertaining. The information presented from real-world people with their own industry experiences is a great insight into the realm of glamour modeling and photography. Having both a photographer and model as interviewers is a great concept and Ron and Shawna work well together. Keep up the great work!
Very good use of time
