They may cause you all kinds of work!

They may actually show up on time and ready.

They may actually rock the concept.

They may actually model.

So now you actually have to spend the time actually taking the actual pictures.

And of course now you have to edit and then process all those images you took. And look at all the time spent doing that.

And you may have to spend time responding to emails of 'thank you' from the model.

And then all the time keeping up with 'tags' if they post the images.

So be careful.

(anybody care to guess that I am a little tired of some of the the other threads floating around?)

I shot Vex Voir this past Friday - https://www.modelmayhem.com/2351771

As of today, a ton of edits because she is so awesome to work with and got tons of great shots. I hate when models inspire me. All this extra work!!! WTF!!!

You know, the op is right.  Granted I've worked with models who well, let's just say, left something to be desired, but there have been more than a few that I really, really, really enjoyed working with.  They got the concept, showed up on time, and a lot of fun was had by everybody on the shoot.
