she said your to old to shoot nudes
I just had a message from a MM model that had asked to do a nude erotic shoot with me, I replied yes, this is her reply hey Phillip OMG I have to cancel my shoot with you as I just read your front page thing wow your as old as my grandpa , so it's feels really weird to be naked , I think you do beautiful pics sorry hope you understand xxxxxxxxxxxx , I sort of do under stand but dam now I feel really old LOL does any one else think that maybe you can be become to old to shoot nudes, my work is more erotic than just nude maybe she thinks I should not still be thinking like that , thoughts any one I have also told her I just put it on the forum maybe she will come in and reply , I am not upset just make s me think Jun 10 12 03:39 pm Link lol, sounds like she's too immature to be modeling. Jun 10 12 03:43 pm Link Maybe it was the actual straddling the model in the shot on your front page that made her uncomfortable, not your actual age? Jun 10 12 03:43 pm Link She saved you the trouble of working with an idiot. Jun 10 12 03:43 pm Link Whatever discomfort I may feel at being nude in front of someone the same age as my grandpa would be dismissed in the pursuit of amazing images. What else matters? Jun 10 12 03:45 pm Link Phillip Ritchie wrote: ouch. Jun 10 12 03:45 pm Link Unbelievable. What an absolutely shallow idiot to pass up an opportunity to shoot with you. You are to photography what Mick Jagger is to music; a rock star. My family was so impressed by you yesterday. This model is a moron and has no idea how great a person you are to know, much less shoot with. Her loss, Phillip. Jun 10 12 03:45 pm Link All this proves is that Forrest had a sister. Jun 10 12 03:47 pm Link Errrr, I've never heard of such a thing, I love shooting nudes with older photographers. For her to decline a shoot with you strictly because of your age....she must be crazy. So in answer to your question, No, I don't think it's possible to be "too old" to shoot nudes, even erotic nudes. If you were 100 years old, I'd still want to shoot nudes with you.  Skill matters, age doesn't. Jun 10 12 03:48 pm Link Wow! Just when I thought I had seen everything... if everything has been done in photography, we can't say the same in finding ways of amazing people the wrong way! Her loss, entirely... hope she realizes one day what she missed. Jun 10 12 03:50 pm Link Wow.....That makes me feel old lol Jun 10 12 03:52 pm Link As the lyrics to a song go: Rejection is one thing, But rejection from a fool is cruel Jun 10 12 03:53 pm Link Sounds like she was harboring intentions/possibilities that went beyond modeling. Jun 10 12 03:54 pm Link Wow what a ridiculous reason for canceling a shoot. No I do not think you can be 'too old' to shoot nudes! What does it matter how old the photographer is  Jun 10 12 03:56 pm Link MelissaAnn wrote: well that is awesome Melissa Ann , Jun 10 12 03:56 pm Link LOL That was cute. (The thread, not the alleged model) Jun 10 12 03:57 pm Link Things I hate about growing older: my approaching mortality my declining health lessening of my attractiveness decreased energy and sometimes a model will remind me of these things, which causes a noticeable increase in anxiety. and sometimes it hurts I decline, the grave beckons. Damn Phillip, you're even older than I am. You make beautiful work and it's unusual for a model to dismiss you so callously. Keep on working, what else is there to do? Jun 10 12 03:57 pm Link In my opinion, its all about the results you get at the end. Age does not come into it at all. Its about the talent, experience and teamwork that make the great pictures. Also, what age is classed as "too old" to be doing photography? And, what is excatly is classed as "old?"

Remember what Groucho Marx said, "you're only as old as the women you feel". Jun 10 12 04:02 pm Link Orca Bay Images wrote: +1. Way too immature and will someday realize her error.

Even worse than that, they don't look at themselves as getting older either. I have to laugh at the immaturity. Jun 10 12 04:05 pm Link I don't care how old you are; I'd get naked if it meant getting the chance to shoot with you =P You're amazing at what you do. Talent is talent, regardless of age.  Jun 10 12 04:06 pm Link WTF does the age of the photographer have to do with anything? What was she expecting? Some 20 year old art major that looks like David Beckham working behind the camera? I wonder if she feels "icky" when she picks up a copy of Playboy, considering the age of their editor-in-chief.... And I just looked at your port, WOW... she's an idiot to pass up an opportunity to work with you!! Jun 10 12 04:06 pm Link I have pretty much given up on trying to make sense out of a lot of people's deductive reasoning / logic skills or lack of those skills! If I was a model, I would be doing almost anything I could to be able to work with an artist of the caliber of Phillip Ritchie! Of course, he would have to still be breathing and have a pulse! Jun 10 12 04:06 pm Link T-D-L wrote: Yup Jun 10 12 04:06 pm Link Rock on man. Work until they pry the camera from your cold, dead hand! Jun 10 12 04:08 pm Link Quite honestly I have been a BIG fan of your work and if she thinks your too old to shoot her.......her loss! I have never let age determine who I work with. Talent is Talent. Jun 10 12 04:09 pm Link hahaha wow...that was rude. Jun 10 12 04:11 pm Link lmao +1000 JDF Photography wrote: Jun 10 12 04:11 pm Link  Ready to get nekkid?

I wonder what she worries about when going to the doctor?

Jun 10 12 04:12 pm Link :-)) Oh crap!!! Now what am I gonna do with my days off? :-))) Well, her loss!! Maybe if you offered to read her a story, she wouldn't feel so bad about shooting with you. :-))) Jun 10 12 04:13 pm Link Erin Holmes wrote: thank you Erin Holmes Jun 10 12 04:13 pm Link Nobody seems to complain about Hugh Hefner, and he DOES sometimes mount and bang them (or used to anyway). Good Gosh. I guess it's understandable, the spelling being so similar between "blind date" and "photo session." (Rolls eyes). Oh, and I make no apology for being a horny (well,sometimes) old bastard of 55. Strangely, it has never seemed to have any negative effect on my photography or complaints on my demeanor. Sheesh. I'm too busy shooting to really think much on those lines anyway.
