Territorial models?
Ok, the topic about territorial photographers reminded me of this. I've had a model or two tell me they don't want me taking pictures of certain other models. Hell, one actually got outright angry that one of her friends asked me to take pictures of her. Then later told me that if I took pictures of another of her friends (who she had previously brought along for pictures) that I should make her look ugly. WTF? Has anyone else experienced anything like this? Nov 27 05 01:14 am Link No, I've never experienced that! Damn....that is really screwed up.

The closest experience that I have had was a girlfriend that got jealous of me photographing other women and not asking her. So I obliged, had a good shoot, got some nice shots. But she refused, then and now, to sign a release form. So I have some nice shots that I can never use. Its not that we had a bad breakup, we even still message occassionally ("Hey, I rememed that you really liked this one TV show, its out on DVD now at such-and-such store, FYI.", etc) I think it is natural for someone "escorting" for a friend, and after seeing the process, thinking "hey, I want to try that.". Then the original model get unsettled "I brought you along to help, not to compete with me." Not sure what to tell you to help, except to explain that you will take pictures of what, and who, you want.

I choose who I will work with. Nov 27 05 02:52 pm Link Henry Tjernlund wrote: Hey, what if the model giving the advice is the crazy one? Ever see the movie Fatal Attraction? I used to know a lady that was almost that diabolical. Crazy women do exist. Maybe Monsante encountered one of those? (I hope not.) Nov 27 05 03:08 pm Link sounds like that model has personal issues or an inferiority complex... Nov 27 05 03:10 pm Link photoguy42 wrote: She was just jealous. She thought the shoot might turn out better than hers did and make her look bad. Jealousy and ego- Those feelings are negative for a reason.

Nov 27 05 03:41 pm Link I can understand advising against something for valid reasons...but to tell someone that if they take pictures of someone to make them look bad...that's just schizo... Nov 27 05 04:22 pm Link Yep. It happened to me once with one of my best models. I shot the other person anyway. She wanted TFP/TFCD so she sucked it up and dealt with the fact that I shot with the other person. Nov 27 05 04:27 pm Link I've witnessed catfights between models, but don't use those as criteria for picking girls to work with. Anyone see Heathers? -Don Nov 27 05 05:02 pm Link D.

Nov 27 05 05:05 pm Link actually had a girl who i shot thought i belonged to only her she said i wasnt to photograph any other models........ that was the funniest thing i have ever heard then i told her ....sure now "pay me like it" Nov 27 05 05:05 pm Link Also if it's not stated in the model release form or contract you signed with her, she has no say with whom you take photos with. Just ignore this person. She has personal issues that are similar to the office politics BS I go through at work. Nov 27 05 06:12 pm Link |
