Listing models you wont work with in your profile.
good or bad? Not giving any reasons, no comments at all! Against the rules on MM? Feb 23 06 02:53 pm Link I hope to never EVER make any such list. But as a nosy individual. . .would love to see who does.  Feb 23 06 02:54 pm Link Jayne Jones wrote: Jayne, ROTFLMAO! Feb 23 06 02:56 pm Link Why? What would be the point? A person knows if you will not work with them again, unless it is a job that you have no control over who is hired...In my opinion Bad Idea..... Feb 23 06 02:56 pm Link This could so go either way. On the one hand, it would be really useful to know who's a flake and who isn't. On the toher hand, well, you know the other hand or you wouldn't have asked. I haven't had my time wasted by anyone yet, I guess I'm fortunate; but the subject is compelling. Bound to happen sooner or later. I generally check references before booking time with people. I think that's probably sufficient. Feb 23 06 02:58 pm Link Probably a bad idea that will make other models who might potentially work with you think again... Just my opinion though. There are a few models with whom I will never work with again, but to state on a profile would only hurt potential shoots. Feb 23 06 02:58 pm Link Probably a bad idea. It's is best to keep the negative out of your profile. You are selling yourself and your services with the words you choose. Don't sell yourself as a negative person. Feb 23 06 02:58 pm Link What if you used codenames???? Then can us ooglers have a list??? Hmmmm??? Feb 23 06 03:59 pm Link But then aren't you open for the model saying something back? Remember there are three sides to a story. It could turn into the blame game! Funny but I was thinking of posting license plate numbers on my blog for those drivers who just worked my nerves! Even had offers to help build the list! Now I'll have to re think this! R- Feb 23 06 07:56 pm Link I call it for trash. Feb 23 06 07:59 pm Link Personally, I think it's on the rant-y side and a tad bit tacky. Feb 23 06 08:00 pm Link I could see only if someone did something absolutely horrible to you, you might want to put a "warning" on your page, but otherwise it just seems like a really childish idea to air your dirty laundry out in public! Feb 23 06 08:03 pm Link I think as a Photographer, we should be able to know what other Photogs think of models... and visa versa...

Feb 23 06 08:31 pm Link Mikel Featherston wrote: References mean nothing... people only give you the good ones! Feb 23 06 08:34 pm Link It sounds like a better idea than it is, most likely. It will become he said/she said in no time. Feb 23 06 08:36 pm Link I know Im tacky but I leave nasty tags when people flake on me or totally lie or something. I know they delete em- but I try to point it out to as many people on Shoutbox before they do, hehe. -Jose Feb 23 06 08:36 pm Link Hamza wrote: Ahh, but I pull names of photographers that they post pictures from. And remember, without the full story of why a photographer won't work with a particular model, you can't make an informed decision in either direction. Feb 23 06 08:39 pm Link Hamza wrote: your wrong, references do mean everything and more then fake tags in blowing sunshine up each others ass in over ratting each other for brownie points. The portfolio speaks the best in actual work and assingments that have actually made print or commercial publication less .20 post cards or some porn magazine. Feb 23 06 08:39 pm Link Like they say there is 2 sides to a story. So it can be a damage to either one of you also can bring skepticisim too!....those models can gang up you and make you look bad so whose side will people be on. Its tough... unless someone you know very well wishes to hire that model then maybe you can alert them. but then again some people can work better with others than you do with them maybe you have bad luck with those models. Feb 23 06 08:42 pm Link Bad idea. It looks tacky, and petty. The model can put something like that about you on her/his portfolio. There is no evidence to prove or disprove who is right. Sooner or later, out of all of those people who had a close relative go to the hospital, one will be telling the truth. Feb 23 06 08:42 pm Link I think its best if you have a network of friend to just put the word out via phone conversation or digi-message that Jane-doe did not show up or was very unprofessional. DON'T put a list on site just pass the word around. This happend to me took her off friend list and passed word round haven't seen any new images on her port. -D Feb 23 06 08:43 pm Link if references mean nothing, then why do most potential clients hire me almost immediately after seeing a co workers images or call 4 references? you run your business your way and i will run mine based on what has been working well less the bull shit brownie point tags and photo comments kissing ass Feb 23 06 08:44 pm Link Intriguing idea! However, there maybe models that are flaky with one photographer for whatever personal reasons, but perfectly professional with another photographer, who is excited about the shoot. Same as some models like one photographers work they did with them... but others photographers work, with the same model simply sucks... Think it's a not so good idea... Feb 23 06 08:44 pm Link honestly...i think that it would be in piss poor taste to even THINK about black balling talent...what type of impotant twit would even consider such listings???...i dont care how many times the gal no shows...real mean dont blacklist babes.

Feb 23 06 08:44 pm Link no! what's the point? ... and who needs the negative energy? frank, photog Feb 23 06 08:46 pm Link But there are certain photographers whos work is decent but convinces new models who they have had there first shoot to stay clear of so and so and like a PIMP controls them No references were contacted or better judgment decisions made on the photographers portfolio but based on so and so says stay clear or waste of time control freaks want it all and cant share in networking Feb 23 06 08:47 pm Link I'd like to see some real way of linking to models I've worked with and providing real feedback. Something link eBay's seller/buyer rankings, so bad ratings ("they flaked") can be replied to ("car broke/cat died/whatever") and people can make their own decisions. (This reply might be better served in the Site Discussion, but it fit the thread...) Feb 24 06 12:21 am Link No matter how you organize it, people wouldn't know who to believe. It would just cause a lot of finger-pointing, and that would leave a bad taste in all our mouths. Feb 24 06 12:27 am Link Only makes the person who does it look bad. end of story. We all wait clean virgins in all aspects of life. When you learn that and present that you are a step ahead. Feb 24 06 12:29 am Link Jack D Trute wrote: Jack pretty much nailed it. Feb 24 06 02:48 am Link just keep photos of that person in your profile, and if someone asks, then you will tell... if they did not ask, it means they did not do their homework and deserve to work with such person..and again, as mentioned, it may work out great with others... Feb 24 06 03:03 am Link Jayne Jones wrote: me too!!!!!!1 any examples?? lol Feb 24 06 03:14 am Link I wouldn't do it - too much drama for me. Feb 24 06 03:20 am Link I guess you'll consider it great fun - right up to the point where YOUR name starts appearing on Models lists... Feb 24 06 03:31 am Link DanPhoto wrote: Ahhh, vengeance is INDEED sweet. hehehe. Feb 24 06 03:36 am Link isn't there a website already that lists this? i am going to have to look into that!! and let you know xx shelly Feb 24 06 03:45 am Link |
