To All Musicians, Actors, & Performers

[marktomaras]

My name is Mark Tomaras. I am a photographer and I am new to Bangkok. I am working on some portfolio portraits of creative types.

I will make a portrait of you for free of charge to be used in my portfolio. I have a few concepts in mind; chiefly environmental portraits that make use of interesting spaces or places. My target audience is editorial work; covers and interior photos in music magazines, general cuture magazines, etc.

Please send me a picture of yourself as well as a brief description of your work. If you are in to this getting a free photo shoot thing, and your look matches some of the concepts I have in mind, well then, we're going to make some photos!

I've posted a couple of recent shots so you have an idea of what I am working on.

Ciao,

Mark

Without trying to burst your bubble... and I maybe wrong...I didn't think you could get a work permit to be a photographer...

[marktomaras]

[RAZZELL]

Really?

It's that I'm a photographer too and was told that you couldn't get a WP...

Would appreciate if you could share anymore info...

Many thanks

Maybe if you had left out that stupid smily which gave your first post a negitive tone he would have done

Razzell when did you start work for the immigration department?

[RAZZELL]

And when did you start being a prat???

If you two clowns can read...try this:

http://www.thaivisa.com/330.0.html

Which clearly states photography is generally prohibited Under Alien Business Law (1979)

Category B Section 4)...

I was just alluding to the fact without stating it...that the OP could be working illegally...Something that was obviously far too subtle for you two....

Thanks for your input...

Surely you can.

Surely not every picture taken for commercial use in Thailand was taken by a Thai??

[RAZZELL]

Which is exactly my point...how did he get WP...

[sabaijai]

I know several foreign photographers who have work permits, either because they work for registered news/press/media agencies or because they have their own companies.

I love photography, Do you have an online portfolio I could view? or perhaps you could post some images on this thread. I would be fascinated to see some of your work.

[RAZZELL]

I know several foreign photographers who have work permits, either because they work for registered news/press/media agencies or because they have their own companies.

I can understand the former...Common practice if you work for someone like AP, Reuters, AFP, Getty etc... Or "string" for a recognized publication...

But the latter...Do you have to become something like a "Photographic Director"..."Photographic Technical Director"...Or some other type of wordy description in your Thai Ltd Company to circumvent the WP laws?

Apologies to the OP for seemingly hijacking his thread...
