Let me guess: You met the model at some party or event, you told her you'd love to shoot some time, and she said "Sounds great!".

Right now it's just an "unhatched chicken", as people often agree to do things but never follow through.

And it's the same for just about any other shoot which hasn't happened yet.

It's best to not divulge information on shoots until after they've happened.

I'm not trying to be negative, just realistic.

I dunno, but if that happened to me I wouldn't waste time talking, I'd get to shooting.

And the next time someone says to you "I never do TF", just whip out that photo and say "Oh yeah? You're better than this?"

You know, if I shot TF* with a supermodel, and she gave the images to magazines; I think I could live with that.  I'd just ask to be credited.  Assuming they weren't something like "I can't believe someone took pictures of me this bad" but were presented positively.

It's not that different from a fashion photographer doing an editorial spread for the exposure.  In my world, having worked with a supermodel (I HAVE worked with "super models" but you know what I mean) would be a major marketing coup.

Probably a good idea to announce the fabulous shoot AFTER it happens rather than BEFORE ... as they say, there's often a slip between cup and lip ...

OP:

Did you recogize the model as being someone famous on your own, or did she have to tell you?

How could you confirm if the claimed shoot pay rate was truthful?

A lot of "faking it until making it" goes on in this industry.

Congratulations OP!

Being realistic is not being mean, in fact it can be helpful.

We all know the business is full of people who make casual promises, and the faster we learn to screen, the better.

That being said, the OP does not appear to be a bright-eyed newbie, and may have already screened the opportunity.

Let me get this straight: a supermodel who gets usually gets paid $20,000 to wear clothes desires to work with you TFP nude, and you actually care what the rest of us think?

PS - If it's Janice Dickinson, the catch is you'd have to shoot her nude. Muhaha. tongue

I will believe it when I see the results.  Until then I may have to take a large hammer to my BS detector to shut it up.
