Calling all Female GLA members!

I desperately need your assistance ladies, I need portrait shots (Of You!)

I think before you agree to let me use one of your portraits it is only fair to let you know what your letting yourself in for, so I’ll do my best to explain.

I am currently working on a collaboration piece with Peter Booth. He has let me run loose on his image entitled the Flying Bannana, which is an image of a rather wonderful souped up yellow Chevrolet. Here’s the original

You may have seen the collaboration we have already done entitled Aliens Attack the RPA, if not then here it is:

So to follow on from this, I thought it would be fun to have that Chevvy manned by some of the ladies of the GLA flying through space on their way to the aliens home world to wreak our revenge, so to speak…so I’ve got the car flying through space bit done…

But you will notice that It needs a driver, co-pilot, navigator etc.
That’s where you come in! I intend to make the cockpit a bit larger and put as many of the ladies of the GLA inside it.
One last word… your portrait will in all likelihood end up being characatured!..you know the sort of thing, blonde wig, loads of make-up… pink sparkly space suit, etc.

Now that’s the idea, admittedly I’m not the best person in the world at doing characatures, but these will end up being quite small anyway!
Here’s one I did of myself for Christmas which should give you an idea of
the sort of thing I’ll do to you if your daft enough to volunteer.

Are you still up for it??

If so, all I need is a head shot of you that’s not been cropped and has a well defined backgound!

In return I’ll include a link to your gallery in the description for the piece and credit you as being a model for the piece! (I’m sure Peter will do the same)

Thanks for being such good sports Ladies,
I look forward to hearing from each of you!

    The Real Photographers Alliance (RPA) is a group on RedBubble for people who are serious about their photography and want to take things a bit further.

    oh drat. Glad you’re there, despondent that I don’t qualify. But I’ll look for what will no doubt be beyond belief in your skilled hands. And my heart, still quivering at the sight of the large banana chevy, is filled with this sort of valentine to car lovers.

    Sorry that came out wrong, I’m not trying to imply that other people on here don’t take their photography seriously. The RPA just tries to help those photographers who feel happy and confident about their photographic skills enough, to find work!

    You know trevor you are not letting other females in on this is kinda wrong. It will make others feel they are not good enough.
    I know about the group and yes it is a excellent group but I would not single out the rest. :)

    Sorry Trevor, not applying to be a pink space lady or whatever (lol!) as I’m not a RPA member, but was just reading your comments and was wondering how the RPA helps people find work?

    Don’t worry Steph, If you think your gonna escape from the clutches of my evil graphics tablet, your sadly mistaken! However in this instance I have a very good reason for being selective in this way.

    Well Deborah, as a member you get listed in an online directory, swap website links with other members (sort of cross promotion) There is an online magazine that you can be featured in. That sort of thing!
