Making multiple, negative posts about how photographers only want to work with models who need all the airbrushing isnt offering up discussion. Its bashing models that were listed in there and making you seem bitter you were on none of the lists.

And I'm confident enough in my work not to worry about which lists I am and am not on. Thanks for your concern though.

FYI You are on my awesome and do not fuck with list...

What multiple posts?

I opened up a thread weeks ago discussing photoshop in glamour photography. It actually was a damn good discussion. There was bashing going on, but not by me. There was even outing going on, but again, not by me.

If I look bitter to you, I don't really care. I have nothing to be bitter about. I do just fine as a model, thanks (again) for your concern.

it's these new female web models. if you really want someone to flake like they should, you need a web male model. they always have something just coming up. and as for nudes, no way in hell. As well, the charge exuberant rates. thats what you need.

Great thread.  Thanks for a smile.  Models are great.  My pictures would be nothing without them.

Just put down the camera and just sit there.

Then the model might pay attention.
I've given up being nice I try to work to a standard anything below I will walk away from.
I know of 2 very well know photographers who have either refused to shoot a model or asked them to leave.

I call hijack.  This thread is about humor and fun and acknowledging all the reliable, responsible models out there busting their asses to do a good job.  Take the who bashed who tit for tat elsewhere.  Thanks.

Tim-

He's bringing a conversation that I had with Ward and Steven Eastwood about what makes a photographer want to work with certain models into your thread.

I like what you were trying to do here. Nice thread. I get equally annoyed when I speak to a photographer and they have all these brand new ideas and are excited and ready to shoot when I get there. People like Stacy Leigh, Will Springfield, John Cooper, Yani...ugh...so annoying how they are always psyched to shoot and make you want to take pictures for hours on end. Damn those people.

smile

edit: out of respect for you (and for the OP of the other thread he already hijacked) I will not be responding to Michael in hopes that he will just get bored and go somewhere else...and that your thread can continue with the good stuff it started.

Tim, I was going to hijack and start a new thread of "Models that irritate you" and then post up the reliable models and why they "POSITIVELY" irritate you with stuff like

"I hate this one cause she shows up 1/2 hour early and steamcleans her clothing"

or

"This one paid for her own flight and brought her own make-up artist"

the reverse of outting  call it "inning"

your deal though.. won't steal it from you smile

Careful, if we have two positive threads about models going at the same time, the earth might shatter.  Go for it!

I don't get it.  I was contacted by a wannabe model on myspace.  Crazy girl wanted to shoot nude and didn't want money. (I know, that should have been my first warning, but I tend to trust people, what can I say?) Anyway, we e-mailed several times, made arrangements.  Wouldn't you know it - SHE SHOWED UP! And on TIME even!  What the hell?!  I don't know where she gets off acting like that!  Then, to top it off, she ticked off every pose I asked for, just like clockwork.

Now I probably shouldn't admit it, but this has happened to me several times, not only with myspace, but with MM models too.  I know, you're probably all asking how many times it takes me to learn my lesson.  I guess I'm just a sucker.  How can I avoid this in the future?

Someone really needs to tell these freaking web models to quit acting like responsible professionals!  Models, take some advice: if you wannabe a web model, you better flake like you mean it.  Otherwise no one will ever take you seriously!  When I go to the web for a model, I expect a flake, and I'm getting really sick of being disappointed.

HOW DARE SHE! SOME PEOPLES CHILDREN SICKEN ME!  lmfao this is great
