Problems With Female Models
Here is nothing wrong with my approach, I'm just getting played. I thought be nice & professional would get you far, apparently I don't fall into that field. That's why I'm kind of venting right now. I'm had several women e-mail me know what they were e-mailing for & I sent them the information they wanted. Haven't heard from them since, that's why I'm kind of upset right now. If you want to do it fine, if you don't that okay too just don't e-mail me & put me through all the headaches. Oct 20 08 02:16 am Link probably because they heard what the job was and didnt want to do it. Oct 20 08 02:28 am Link Perhaps you could a site which specializes in fetish models, such as http://www.domdominion.com/community/models.html for contacts. If you've been doing this since 1999, who were you working with before? Perhaps you could use them again, or ask for referrals to find new models. Sorry to hear of your frustrations. It goes both ways. Models also contact photographers who seem gung ho at the first e-mail and then they drop off the face of the planet it seems. Re-evaluate what information you're putting into your e-mails. If they have profiles here that list their rates, check those to ensure what you're offering matches what they'd normally be paid. Also, do they want to have one of the following but you're not offering it: MUA, stylist, escort present, etc. Finally, as it's been pointed out, you aren't doing the most everyday of shoots. It's not incredible that you're having issues casting it. Be patient. Have you tried (nice, professional) follow up e-mails to each model to ask if they are still interested and to let them know that you're willing to work with them on the specifics? All the best, C.

Anyway...I'll behave... We all have flaky models...at times...and models have flaky photographers at times...get better at pre-screening...and expect that you will still get bit once in a while...finding girls that dig your work is one way...offering irresistible amounts of money is another way. I have to say if I was a model that normally didn't do fetish and I was putting a price tag on some of those nude shots...the price tag would be steep. Oct 20 08 04:03 am Link By making such generalisations, you are only narrowing your field of potential models further. If you're looking for models to do thinks which are farther outside the norm than usual conduct, you're going to have issues finding models for such things; insulting your potential models isn't going to help the situation any. Oct 20 08 04:29 am Link Professional models will want to get paid, and unless you're the best photographer in the world, don't expect them to commit to a shoot, as they will drop you, if they get a paying job at the last second. The new models, most of them will drop out of modeling, as photographers keep using the excuse that they're not going to pay them, as they don't have the experience. After doing a few shoots, they just decide it's not worth it, as they start thinking that they'll never get paid for modeling, so they just drop out, without ever letting anyone know. Oct 20 08 04:36 am Link .............Problems With Female Models. Who'd have thought. Oct 20 08 05:28 am Link I'm totally disappointed, one day female models who turned me down or never return my e-mails or calls most likely will probably be washed up.

Oct 20 08 02:43 pm Link This probably isn't the best place to seek "pie fetish models". Try craigslist. Oct 20 08 03:57 pm Link DarkSlide wrote: GWCP - Guy With Cream Pie. Oct 20 08 04:06 pm Link Can I just say that after reading all your responses I don't think I would EVER want to work with you. secondly stop generalizing female models as if we are all one. we are not ants. thirdly, your style is very 'unique' the amount of people who like or even want to be associated with it are few and far between. I personally would never want to do anything in that style. though you would never work with me because, as you put it I don't have 'boobs' so be a bit more mature about things and stop moaning. Oct 20 08 04:08 pm Link Something seems half-baked.

Oct 20 08 04:29 pm Link well, by insinuating that you believe the majority of female models are flakes, you've already turned me (and i'm sure some others) off of working with you. that seems to constitute a lack of respect for models who DO show up promptly, work hard, etc. Oct 20 08 04:31 pm Link Rebekah Winters wrote: But the best pie crust is flakey... Oct 20 08 04:32 pm Link I can't help you by Friday; Miss Alison is in Detroit, looks great naked, and is a reliable fetish model. I'll be in your area Nov. 7-9, look fabulous naked, and am a reliable fetish model.
