Earlier in the week I received a message from a MMer offering me a paid editorial shoot. SOUNDS SO LEGIT TO ME but some areas seem REALLY shady!!!! But I don't know...... "Company" name is Lifetime Photography Inc. Which I've searched on the internet and can't find. Shoot is a couple hundred dollars to show off a line of handbags, wallets, and purses. The person emailing me, looked up his name as a photographer and did not find it anywhere. I just don't know, it seems legit and shady at the same time Has anyone been offered the same thing and now what I'm talking about?

And the MM account that initially sent the message has been disabled. Feb 18 15 04:14 pm Link Same way a freelance model wouldn't just pop right up when you google it you know what I mean? Feb 18 15 04:15 pm Link Do they have a website, FB or portfolio somehwere or anything? Just ask for some more background info and references. If not I'm going to say pass.

Whenever I see a question like yours I go to his or her MM portfolio page and look for the age. Almost always around 18 or 19. It's as if these people prey on the young and still-innocent.
