How do you handle model unhappy about posting pic?
Sarkiko wrote: Did you ever talk to her again. You got me curious too. Sep 09 16 10:32 am Link Toto Photo wrote: Still can't make sense of it. A lot of things she said were just kind of bizarre. It really wasn't worth thinking about much longer. Contact another photographer she worked with and got a similar sentiment. She hasn't been active on MM in a very long time so not worth DNR'ing her in my profile. Sep 09 16 12:40 pm Link No update with the original model but I got the opportunity to do the shot again with another model that was really great to work with. https://www.modelmayhem.com/portfolio/pic/41690454 Edit: Image removed you after seeing mod message. You can click on link to it in my portfolio to view. (oops thought he was a mod) Dec 21 16 04:28 pm Link There isn't any one way to handle this kind of situation. I've had two lawyers call me. One paid me not to publish it again. One backed off. ( I told him who my lawyer was). If the model calls and is nice about it, then I'm nice about it. Model calls, says she's in the army now..ok no problem. Dominatrix is teaching in Catholic school now.. doesn't want it published again.. sorry you have to at least pay back what I paid you. College junior calls before senior year graduation and says it could be bad for her career...she couldn't think of that before???? The release may say you can do whatever you want but you have to be really stupid to take that literally, and do something the model never expected. PS: If someone is dumb enough to sell an image for an aids or other disease ad Without the models approval .... LMAO Dec 24 16 11:38 am Link Sarkiko wrote: Sorry, but this is a +18 image. Dec 25 16 03:18 am Link How did she not want to show too much skin? Definitely sounds like significant other didn't approve. Keep them up don't use models name. Dec 25 16 06:49 am Link IMHO too many "wanna be" models on here not taking this seriously. My short answer would be to say take it down to save face and possible embarrassment. I think the writing was on the wall in all the red flags you got prior to shoot. Maybe pick someone with more of a track record and history next time so you don't get burned. Sorry this happened! Dec 25 16 07:22 am Link To OP; Did she know about the bondage and fetish work in your port? Just curious. Dec 25 16 11:16 am Link Risen Phoenix Photo wrote: So why did you re-post it? Dec 26 16 06:31 am Link On different occasions, I've had a model contact me that something in their life changed and please ditch the photos of them. Sometimes it's the shots with some skin, sometimes they don't want their face associated with modeling. I've complied. I hope I'm not here to make people feel bad, and I think their security in life means more to the cosmos than my showing off that extra 1% of my body of work with models for the sake of my artistic brilliance [/sarcasm]. Not saying one should be happy about it. In fact, it can be one of any number of factors that might ultimately discourage one from shooting. Dec 26 16 07:13 am Link Have you already sent her any photos beyond the one proof? If you decide to go with her request not to post them, she should not get the fruits of the shoot either. Dec 26 16 08:51 am Link Top Gun Digital wrote: Both times I had problems this year with models wanting pictures taken down (which makes like four times in nine years), they were "professionals". One, relatively new, the other had been shooting nudes for pay for at least four years. She still thought she could get them all removed from the internet. Dec 26 16 09:01 am Link Two things could have happened here. She either tricked you and wanted to have pictures for herself (bf for example), and she knew she has to sign a release so had no choice. Or, as others pointed out here, either her partner, family or whoever close to her pressured her to take them down. Bit strange how quickly that call came in though. Regardless, legally you have the right to post them but think if it really is about whats legal. Modelling world is small words gets around, and drama never brings happiness. Look at it from the positive side. You got some experience shooting, always a good thing, and learned that not all models have professional attitude. Also if this was a shoot for a client who would use the photos for whatever purpose, tings would get much more complex. Move on and keep shooting! Dec 26 16 11:57 am Link Hmmm, glad you were able to find a model who could help you reproduce the shot for your portfolio, but in my opinion the original model sounds very unprofessional, and it sounds like you would be better off working with more committed models in the future. Showing up two hours late is a huge red flag, as is disapproving of you posting the image that was agreed upon when setting up the shoot. Legally, (though I don't know what was in your model release) I'd say you are probably within your right to keep the photo up whether or not she likes it, though if I were in your position, I probably would have taken it down by now, myself. However, I'd say if a model exhibits this kind of behavior in the future, cancel or decline the shoot. Whether it's a trade or a paid shoot, you deserve more professionalism from the other party. Dec 27 16 06:28 pm Link I had a model recently say that she did not like the way her face looked in the image. Although it did look fine to me I did take the image down. Later the next day she posted several images that she liked both on instagram and on facebook as well as letting me know that two of the images may be published. Maintaining a good relationship with most models is important. Yes, although the photographer may own the copyright, model release ect.. and have every right to post an image, in my personal opinion unless there is some overwhelming need to post one specific image I would just take the image down. Jan 04 17 09:38 am Link Read the 1st paragraph. 2 words f# her!!! You negotiated, releases were signed etc, and now she's trying to force your hand. I f# hate when models try to pull that bs, I proceed to block them from anywhere I'm connected with them, and cut/irradicate them from my creative circle. It will leave a bad taste in your mouth/ at somepoint, I don't need the hassle, negativity, childish tantrums, and I'm not prepared to deal with it. A deal is a deal, you honor your end of a deal simple, there's no ifs or buts or backtracking with me, you try it one time you are outta here, no time for games or funny behavior. It might sound quite outlandish/ott But... (Trust me when I say you cannot reason with someone, that is that un-reasonable), I tried it did/does not work. Also it'll get round tbat your a soft touch, and that you'll role over if a model/creatives yelps a little louder, nope not me Sumny Jim. P.s Good luck Even more so if she knows where you live (.....)

Or does the image not represent the type of photo I described? Jan 19 17 09:59 am Link SunshineModels wrote: Yes. All Yours Photography wrote: I think I mentioned it earlier in the thread but as soon as I got the call I removed all the photos so she couldn't have access to them. I got a text asking what happened to the pics. Like I'm going to leave them up so she can download them after she tells me she thought I was only going to view the pictures privately. Jan 19 17 10:07 am Link Sarkiko wrote: Yeah, no 18+ images in the forums. But what constitutes an 18+ image is a call for a moderator to make.
