You may not personally have any problems with your unprofessional manager, but it looks like your manager may be the reason that you're being put into situations that you don't like, like the one you talked about in your original post. Even if you respect your "manager," you aren't going to get any great shoot offers through him unless photographers respect him as well, and I'm kinda getting the impression here that they don't.

If you are paying someone for their service thats all they should care about(or tfcd) but they shouldnt care about my management. My manager wasnt the cause of the situation. i read a post for a casting on mm and noticed something with someone. its that simple.

You're saying it's NOT about your phoney pimp, errr, MANAGER, but in your original post (section in bold) you made it clear it was. YOU brought it up.

OP the proposition the photographer made doesn't sound very savoury. That's for sure and I think we all agree on that. The manager bashing is simply us trying to give you some good advic e born ut of many years cumulative experience. If even the photographer in the OP regards managers as a turn off, imagine what the non sleaze photographers think of them.

You're one of the prettier models in his stable (no disrespect there) You've been on MM for a little over a month now. A manager is a manager. He should be bustin' his ass to find you several good photographers to get your port straight. Or at the very least get it to the point where they're kicking down your door. Seems to me like you're doing all the leg work. Hope he's not getting a cut.

My respect: Who steals my purse steals trash; ât is something, nothing; âT was mine, ât is his, and has been slave to thousands; But he that filches from me my good name Robs me of that which not enriches him And makes me poor indeed. Us Brits are class

Hope he's not getting a cut. he has set up some paid shoots for me (which i did and will have the pix soon) also i have been back in forth. so me shooting isnt the problem. i will have new pics soon. i had to get a few things together. and he actually does all the work i just have to show up to shoots. like i said im happy with my manager
