"Modelling for the Camera club was a wonderful experience and a great
opportunity to work with a wide variety of photographers in a friendly,
fun, and professional environment. The lighting set up was fantastic and
I was so excited by the high quality of the pictures that were being
taken on the night." - St Clare, singer, March 2012
"I just wanted to than all the members of the camera club for the wonderful pictures you sent me. When I visited in February the guys and girls were all lovely and I just was so amazed with the amount of pictures I was sent. Thankyou." - Rouge Noir, model, February 2012
The
Portrait Group is made up of both professional and amateur
photographers who have a common interest in portrait photography. These
nights are a great way to further our skills, learn from each other and
provide an opportunity to shoot different faces each month.
For
new members to the Club it is a great opportunity to learn about
portraiture and observe and practise in a relaxed environment.
For
our models it is a great learning experience, a fun night and a very
inexpensive method of putting together a portfolio of images. Each
photographer obtains different results and in the past models have
received back numerous images, many that they are really pleased with.
Models
who are keen for further work (mostly trade for prints) often make
contacts on the night and seek followup individual shoots with some of
the photographers (but this is totally at your discretion).
You can view a selection of photos taken at the portrait group on our Flickr group.
"I had a great night at the Melbourne Camera Club Portrait Group meeting,
was great to network with photographers and work in a relaxed casual
environment." - Chloe, model, May 2010
"A fun inspiring night, well organized to fit in a lot of photographers
all with immensely different visions. From set ups in the studio, to set
ups outside the kitchen window, it was a very diverse night!" - Ashley, model, February 2011
"I had a really great time posing for the Melbourne Camera Club. The
light set-up was very flattering and every time I moved 5 cameras would
pop up and take a snap of me. It was like being in front of the
paparazzi and everybody was my new best friend. The other model was
great to work with too. Thanks Melbourne Camera Club, I had a really
great experience."
- Ana, model, February 2011
"The session was fun and I think there will be good shots from it." -

We're always looking for keen models (male or female). In the past we've had circus acrobats, athletes and actors in addition to our regular 'fashion' models.
