I recently got back a bad batch of photos from a TFP. This surprised me because I thought the shoot went really well and was super excited to see them. The photographer and I got along really well. When I looked at the photos none of them were useable. They were mediocre and he intentionally sent unflattering terrible photos, which he says he sends as critiquing. All of the photos were unflattering that he sent and I know there were some good ones. Anyway I asked him about it and he said that the shoot wasn't good because he said it's because I am a plus size model and he doesn't shoot plus size models and it was a test shoot anyway for a different shoot. Just really rude and dismissive. Basically he used me to set up for another shoot and then tried to make me feel bad. This is the first batch of photos I have received that were not good. This has never happened. I believe my profile accurately represents what I look like and is not misleading. Why shoot with me then if you don't shoot plus size? I asked to look at more which of course he ignored. I know that I will not shoot with this guy again and I know I need to let it go and move on. I guess I feel like he misrepresented why he was shooting with me and was incredibly inconsiderate to my end of the trade. I have a tendency to be a little too trusting and want the see the best in people. Anyway I guess I need to vent more than anything and also looking for suggestions to set boundaries and agreements with photographers and good dialogue to have before hand. Like I said this is the first time this has ever happened  P.S. I should have known he was a bad egg by his crusty white socks. Don't hesitate to judge a man by his socks.

What a jerk. You don't look plus-sized to me.
Sounds like maybe he didn't control the parameters of his shoot well enough to get a result that he wanted. His fault.

I'm truly saddened to hear you had that experience. I agree with what has already been said, you should just move forward and not let this upset you more than it already has, as there is nothing you can do to change what happened.
I took a look at your portfolio, and I wouldn't consider you plus size at all, I think you are pretty much a normal size. However, some strange "industry standard" numbers might disagree with my personal thoughts.
In any event, you are simply beautiful and have a very nice delicate figure which is well suited to modelling, whether nude, lingerie, or clothed. Don't let this experience discourage you, but continue to find other photographers to work with who appreciate you as you are and will not be judgmental when there is no reason to.

I'm sorry, what part of that says plus sized? Sounds like you just ran into a photographer who had a bad shoot and wanted to make excuses for not being able to execute. Lol, I've worked with models who were shorter than you but weighed literally twice as much you, I'm not saying that as a put down or as demeaning, but the shots still came out fine, and she loved them. And oh, I didn't make excuses. See the difference? I know it'll take time to shrug it off, but you'll be better off if you just move along and forget what he said.

Also worth noting - the job of the photographer is often to get the best out of everyone - exceptions maybe for photojournalist. Don't let him get you down. For every him that pops up there are probably 50 of us that would be happy to shoot you on those same terms and even happier afterwards when you were happy with the photos.

You are a real woman, from what I can tell. That makes you a preferred model to me. The photographer, on the other hand, is obviously not a professional. A professional always brings his best game. A professional photographer is supposed to make everybody look great. If he can't do that, he needs to find another line of work.

For future shoots ask the photographer in advance if you can see the images either after each set or at the end of the shoot. If you're doing a TF shoot you should at least get to suggest ones that you would like the photographer to consider editing.

You're taller than me....and weigh less...'nuff said...
But TF shoots are always gamble...in my opinion...no monetary incentive to make sure everything is on point.
I've noticed models who have paid don't go into a shoot half-assed, and photographers who are paid usually attempt to make the client happy..

HEYYYYYY! What's wrong with crusty white socks??  Actually, I don't even know what that means. (lol) Before agreeing to future shoots, you could ask the photographers if they will allow you to have a say in which photos to select for final edits. Some may and some may not, but this way you'll know before agreeing to shoot with them.

I'm sorry to hear about your situation.
I can't critique you in this forum but I'll go out on a limb and just say that you don't look difficult to photograph at all.
That said, are you being overly critical or harsh on yourself as far as the images he sent you go? Maybe they aren't as poor as you think.
I've shot several times with a great model - we still work together occasionally - and she hates half of the stuff we shoot. "I look too fat!", "I hate the angle of my face in this one!", "my leg looks too big", ... You get the idea. I've show the images to others and got really positive feedback. She finally broke down and posted one or two she wasn't happy with and got great comments and lots of views before taking them down. Now, to be fair, the images in question were chosen by me out of the lot we shot. I have a pretty good eye though and this is standard practice for me.
Take a second look and re-evaluate them.
Of course, that doesn't explain his rude attitude or actions.

I am coming to think that on TF shoots a model should not provide a model release until the photographer provides the images.
If this guy posts any images from the shoot here on MM use the "contact a moderator" feature to let them know what happened.....
sorry for the bad experience. we are not all like that. But apparently far far too many are.....

this is why i like shooting into a tv. there are no surprises. everyone on set sees every shot (unretouched). if the customer isn't seeing anything they like we can talk about it while there's still a chance to switch gears.
and after my first couple shoots here i stopped trying to choose for anyone. i let them choose for themselves.

Blaming is the model is go to excuse for a GWC who cant shoot.
Things look good on a 3" screen in the back of your camera, but then when you see them later they stink.
Dont let it get you down, its his loss.
*Edit* Your a model who shoots nudes, you will have a billion TFP offers. From now on make it a part of the trade agreement that you be given the best 50 shots as proofs, and you get to select the top 3 that the photographer will then edit for publication.

I know it feels bad when someone shoots their bruised ego zingers at you. When you got the unflattering pictures that you think were unusable how did the conversation go in order for the photographer to "volunteer" that he sends the unflattering ones as critiquing?
I'm just wondering if he sent photos in hopes to hear good things about them from you and in return heard your views about unflattering.
The shot is made by the photographer and I'm very lucky to shoot with some amazing folks. Honestly, I've shot with some folks who are just learning and even they give AMAZING work based on their vision and their ability and just wow. If a shoot is a bust, it is a bust. In my own self-critique I have unwittingly insulted photographers by ripping on my end of the shot! I'm trying to quit it. However I am sorry that something seems to have gone wrong here.
Feeling used is usually an unfortunate result of communication going badly with mismatched expectations "post facto" and bruised egos lashing out or pushing buttons.
It sucks, really does. Likely you didn't mean to push his buttons or bruise his/her ego but, it sure sounds like the mean comments and unflattering shots back were the results. Coincidentally I have experienced the very same between two photographers and both times it sucked.
So, I'm thinking his heart or ego got bruised. It hurts and I know what you mean about feeling used. It sucks. I'd move forward and not give him any more energy, (the jerk.)

I'd be very surprised if he was intentionally sending you the worst photos. What do think his motivation would be for doing so?
Sometimes shoots don't go well or one's expectations are too high. I've sometimes had two similar shoots in which one model loved the photos and the other model was disappointed. Similarly, I've had some models who far exceeded my expectations and other who fell far short.
Agreeing to TF has it's risks. Sometimes models are disappointed in the photos they receive, sometimes photographers are disappointed with the model.
Not all shoots will provide what you hope they will. Rather than dwell on it, I think it's best to simply move onto other shoots which hopefully you will be more satisfied with.

sorry for the bad experience. we are not all like that. But apparently far far too many are..... Wrong. The most consistent advice I ran across when I started was 'always get a model release, don't shoot until it's signed'. Refusing to sign until after the shoot will set her up for conflict and failure. Don't treat everyone like a prick because you were mistreated once. That's a downward spiral that hurts everyone.
The model just about never provides a release, and that would be agreed on before the shoot. "a model should not provide a model release until,,,"
"use the "contact a moderator" feature" For what? Rudeness? BAD advice. Don't escalate the drama, that doesn't help anyone.

Did the the OP look carefully at the photographers work? Did she ask to see more? Were any of the models a tad heavy? How did those images look. That should be an indication of the photographer's skill set. If not walk away.

I think that models should just be... and let the pose and the image develop organically. Sometimes when one over thinks they miss the emotion and the "feel" of the image and they come off stiff and uncomfortable. Just like photographers they can focus so much on technique they can do everything perfect and still miss the shot.
Jen is simply the best.

Honestly, the only reason I can see for that is him being on a power trip and wanting to make you feel like shit about yourself or your abilities so he feels better. Or that HE was the one who failed in the images and he's trying to blame you.

Noah He told me this after the shoot Had I known he was going to impose himself as teacher or God I wouldn't have shot with him. He said he feels its his duty to teach models and after the shoot he said that he doesn't shoot plus size while at the time I didn't realize he was directing that towards me till later when he sent the photos. All his critiquing told me was that he thought I needed to loose weight. Nothing super constructive. I like constructive criticism and welcome it if it's constructive. I know I'm not thin, I also I know I don't need to loose weight in order to have good shoot.

actually size 8 and up IS considered plus sized in the modeling world...however that shouldn't be an excuse for not photographing you correctly. That being said, as others have mentioned, TF is a collaboration between a model and a photographer (and sometimes a whole team)
I'd be more choosey who I did TF with in the future.

As I am here:
18+
https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/35145822
I actually have more lean body mass in the second photo, and am somewhat more muscular than in the first. In the 2nd, however, I look soft and curvy, because of the softness of the lighting, how bright it is, and the way it skims across my body "rounds" out the appearance of my shape. The lighting in the first photo is hard, and coming from a different place. I LOOK about 10 pounds leaner in the first photo, and more muscular, but that's all a trick of lighting. I'm pretty much the same in both shots.
Lighting is EVERYTHING, and "plus size" - especially for someone with your build - is pretty subjective. A lot of it is the photographer's ability to create a look he wants with light, not necessarily the model's body.

You said it all in your OP.
These days every one with a camera is *a photographer.
For me, that person's response is not really a reflection of you but of them.
IF you need to respond to him, phrase it in a way that it is all about him, many problems deep down that are showing.
You have everything going for you, don't be fit into a box that doesn't fit....
You are not a plus sized model, just a model who is right for people allowing you to be you, where you will shine.

I shoot people who range in size from skinny to Oh My will my stool support that much weight. Your job as the photographer is to make them look the best they can be. You are great looking and I would not say you are plus sized. Kids and old people and all sizes helps you figure out how to pose the current subject. I have seen pictures of all ages and sizes that are great and it is not always the subject that made it that way but the photographer. In this case if he failed to make a few shots that were nice of you then he blew the shoot.
