Kung unsa man kagwapo sa inyuhang larawan unya dili musugot sa inyuhang photographer, dili pud namo ma upload inyuhang larawan. Sayang naman. :)

IMPORTANT NOTICES

ModelSearch Manila wishes to thank the models and the photographers for all the support you've given. Along the way, we've discovered how to work efficiently with all the images you've been sending (there are tons of them! Some excellent, some good, some just barely making it).

Here then is what we've discovered that we need to do in order to review your pics in an orderly manner.

1) When posting on our wall, please tag ModelSearch Manila.
2) Also tag the photographer who shot the image.
3) We must see the photographer comment on the photo that he/she is in agreement to the use of the image on the blog (and billboard, if selected). E.g. : "I am Juan de la Cruz, photographer of this image and I agree to the use of this image on the EDSA Billboard Project in connection with the terms set on the ModelSearch Manila blog".

We will not accept a note by the model saying, "the photographer already agreed". Yeah right!

4)Same for photographers who enter images of different models. Tag the model in the photo and let him/her comment on the photo stating that she/he is in agreement to the use of the image.

5)No matter how stunningly gorgeous your pic is if you do not have consent of the other party commented on the pic, we will not upload it on the blog for other partners to review.

Thank you all for the support!

You may have noticed that we are now using shortcuts for names of models and photographers. Why is it so?

Well, among the top priorities of ModelSearch Manila is a healthy respect for the use of images. That is why we always request models and photographers to give joint consent to the use of the image before posting.

Another thing we prioritize is privacy. This is why we are now using shortcuts for names. We do not want stalkers to look you up immediately on your Facebook pages and start stealing your shots. Giving your full name on this blog may open up some unwanted intrusion into your work and identity.

Hope you appreciate this.

Important note for photographers who post images on our Facebook wall : Kindly tag the models/subjects in the image. If they are not yet a friend of ModelSearch Manila, please suggest us as a friend. Thanks!

Over the past day, that we've run this search for fresh faces outside of Manila, we've had some very good questions from those aspiring to join the EDSA billboard project. One of the best queries we've had comes from Cristina of Davao.

Her question regarding the EDSA Billboard Project is this: Granting that we get selected, where will the photo shoot take place?

Answer: There will be no photo shoot. The EDSA Billboard Project will work with only existing images which are submitted to us by models or photographers. Given this, if you are a model submitting your picture in the hope of being posted on an EDSA billboard, please ensure that you have gained the consent of the photographer. Likewise, photographers submitting their shots should ensure that they have the approval of the model for the posting of the image on an EDSA billboard.

Keep your best shots coming please. :)

How do I join the EDSA Billboard Project?

Simply add ModelSearch Manila as a friend on FaceBook (http://facebook.com/modelsearchmanila) .

As soon as we've responded to your friend request, post your best shots on our wall. This is where all of the partners of ModelSearch Manila will have their eyes on.

Please ensure that you have permission from your subject models that you will be entering the image to the EDSA Billboard Project. We don't want the model chasing us in the future for fees for the use of the image in the event that the image is selected and mounted on an EDSA billboard.

Will I get a TF/Professional Fee if my image is selected?

Unfortunately not. The posting of your image on an EDSA billboard will earn you unimaginable bragging rights among your peers and fellow photographers who want to see their work used in this way.

Will there be credits to my work?

Yes. Credits will be provided on the billboard itself and on this blogsite.

Behind Model Search Manila is a healthy respect for proper use of images. The images posted on this blog have been submitted by models under the premise that they have secured the necessary permission from the photographers who collaborated in the image.

In the same manner, if you are a photographer who has submitted an image for feature on our blog, the assumption is made that you have already secured the necessary permission from the model for the image to be mounted/featured.

If at anytime, you as a photographer may feel that the ownership of a particular image is violated, you can email us at modelsearchmanila@gmail.com to request for any of the following:

-revision of credit (in the case of typographical errors)

-inclusion of credit

-removal of the image
