Bath and the surrounding area is increasing in popularity as a setting for film and tv productions, with fashion shoot's taking place almost daily.
This mean that opportunities arise for local talented people - of all shapes and sizes - to participate as extra's in film productions, and also to some extent as models for photo-shoots
You could be part of all this, as - with the high costs for travel and accommodation, - the producers and photographers are increasingly on the look-out for locally based talent.
- I plan to host your photos and descriptions here for free, so send me an email with your 3 or 4 best photo's attached - (read the 'Photo Recommendations) - , and let's get your ball rolling . . .

TWAS THE NIGHT BEFORE CHRISTMAS IN MENDIP
Twas' the night before Christmas, and all over the Mendips
Nothing was stirring 'cept teaspoons in Lemsips,
Which would soothe all the throats of those farmers who planned,
To shout "Santa, - you bugger, get off of moi land"
Despite this, one farmer still hung up his sock,
'cos he hoped for a tractor and a new milking smock.
But his sleep was disturbed by a terrible noise
As he yelled to his wife, "look wos 'appened out zoid"
"The pigsty's been hit an' fer shore I aint jokin,
There's reindeer; all wounded, and a sledge with some bloke in"
T'was SANTA! They rushed out to offer their friendship
Knee deep in manure Santa cried, " - is this MENDIP?"
Said Santa "- it looks like the reindeer have all been in battle"
Said farmer "don't worry I'll round up some cattle
Lend Daisy, and Dorcas and Clarabelle and Stig,
And I'll throw in Petulla, my razorback pig."
With a sprinkle of stardust Santa took to the air,
To a chorus of moos, - and a grunt here and there,
As they wizzed around Mendip, that secondhand crew,
Each gift was delivered, - some cowpats were too.
There were fly poster scrapers, for the fine folk of FROME
And to clear up the litter, a dirty GURT broom
For RADSTOCK a new public loo to relax on
And a train line that reaches to FROME with new tracks on
For a couple of councillors, squabbling in NORTON
Viagra, in hope they might switch to cavort'n
And for CHEW VALLEY LAKE, 50 gallons of water
For the level had dropped far below what it 'oughter
But some gifts, unseen, yet more precious than gold,
Santa placed in the hearts of the young and the old,
A pound of good will and a kilo of peace
And charity - freedom for all Christmas geese.
A measure of peace, a gurt dollop of kindness,
And to spread racial harmony, more colour blindness,
Forgiveness and love, (yes, it's all a bit sloppy)
Oh, and patience in truckloads, for the easily stroppy; [WHAT ?]
Yet hoping these gifts would all last until death
Santa sighed "I know humans, I won't hold my breath
Then back to the farmstead, the farmer to waken.
Came the cows fit for milking, the pig fit for bacon.
The sleigh was now mended and so were the reindeer
They were ready for flying, though one had a sprained ear, [ok I know]
"I thank you" said Santa, " - and now here' s your present
Some scent for your wife", - T'was MAX TRACTOR, - how pleasant,
And a smock for the farmer, who quick as a flash,
Said, "I hope you don't mind, but I'd rather have cash."
"- Farewell then" said Santa "and be of good cheer;
I'll come back in spring time - we'll go for a beer"
And the farmer exclaimed as they flew out of sight
"MERRY CHRISTMAS from MENDIP, - and to all:
a GOOD NIGHT!"
