ON TF WORK:
Sure, why not, however keep this in mind: I get bombarded with requests for free shoots all the time, but I only shoot with models who meet my specific criteria. Please don't be offended if I do not agree to shoot you. I will only shoot my concepts / ideas, and you should be wiling to do whatever it takes to get the shots done. You will have to sign a full commercial release allowing me to sell your pictures. This is how I get compensated for working with you. Very limited TF* shoots at this time. My calendar is very full. NOW TF Wizardry. I would need the Raw file and freedom to do with the image i please. Again it is all based on what i feel could work for me. Selfish i know but its free so stop complaning :-P
ON PAYING MODELS
Recently I have been contacted by several models offering me to hire them for paid shoots. I wanted to make it clear that I do not hire models for personal projects or stock shoots, and instead use vast array of talent that is available to me on TF* basis, and I will only do TF* shoots if I think there is commercial value to the images. If you just want images for your portfolio, you will have to hire me. Once again, my rates are not cheap, but reasonable.
There are 2 situations where I do pay models:
1. I am attending an educational photography workshop/seminar. Since the models do need to be compensated for their work, and I am not providing the models with images as compensation for their time, I gladly pay the models.
2. When I am doing commercial work, where a client is picking up the tab, including the model's bill. But in those situations I will hire agency talent anyway.
ON ESCORTS
I am a strong proponent of escorts. I think that there are many weirdos and freaks out on the Internet, and they will pose as photographers, 12 year old boys / girls, agents, your best friend, etc... just to get their hands on a pretty young girl. The first thought on a girl's mind should be her safety. Always bring someone with you when you are shooting with a photographer for the 1st / 2nd time (until you get to know them). No pictures are worth getting hurt.
ON GWCs
You guys give artists a bad name. I come to shoot, not to try to pick up pretty girls, not to stare and drool over barely dressed (or nude) women.
The "Guys with Cameras" who are on this site to hook up with Models drive me nuts. If you want to meet girls, try a dating site. This site is for professionals and aspiring professionals in the modeling / photographic communities, not a hook up joint. Get over it, and move on. You give artists a bad name.
On flaky models (no show, dog died, etc...):
I will not list the names and MM#s of the flakes, but you know who you are. Now FncK off.
Why is it that people schedule a shoot, and not show up / cancel at the last moment / come up with lame excuses? I pay for studio time. I pay my assistant's salary. I take time out of my busy life to come and work with you. Why is it so hard to just show up? If you really want to work as a model, how far do you think you are going to get in this business when you don't show up for gigs? This is not High School. This is real life, and you are dealing with people who have real responsibilities and make commitments to be there when they promise.
