Do you charge for test shoots?
I answered a casting about test shooting for a magazine and got a response back saying it would be $350. Anything I have tested for in the past I haven't had to pay for. Is this pretty standard and I've just been getting lucky? Jan 30 13 10:03 am Link No reputable magazine charges for a "test". This sounds like a load of shit thrown out by some bullshit "publication". Probably more like a glorified blog, I'd guess.

Jan 30 13 12:00 pm Link NO Jan 30 13 12:03 pm Link Somethings not right here. Jan 30 13 12:04 pm Link Nicole L Grant wrote: was this casting on MM? If so, please Contact a Moderator or you can Flag the casting using the link on the casting page, on the dropdown select Asking for Pay.

Tell him to pound sand. Jan 30 13 12:16 pm Link UltimateAppeal wrote: No it was off of MM Jan 30 13 02:22 pm Link Sounds like a scam. Jan 30 13 02:56 pm Link Nope! Jan 30 13 09:06 pm Link Don't throw your money away. And if you do turn it into a gift. Treat your favorite MUA to new brushes or makeup. Jan 31 13 07:32 pm Link |
