Unprofessional Things Models say to Photographers
Photographers: Please reply with some of the unprofessional and inappropriate things models said to you before, during or after a photo shoot. Aug 19 16 10:38 pm Link "If i spill something on this dress - can i keep it ?" "Are You sure You are not a Serial Killer ?" " I'm Bi Polar ...( and proceeds to tell me all about it )" Aug 20 16 12:20 am Link But I dont mind it when they trash talk other photographers ...lol ( cept of course they could easily be trash talking me too ) Aug 20 16 12:20 am Link Can you send me the raw files. Aug 20 16 12:54 am Link My boyfriend will be coming with me to ensure my safety. Aug 20 16 05:46 am Link HHonor wrote: is this a cheap attempt to say "all lives matter"?

As it progresses, the pot will crack ever wider. Aug 20 16 11:12 am Link kickfight wrote: Aug 20 16 11:53 am Link "I don't think your backpacker socks match your Teva sandals very well."

Aug 20 16 04:52 pm Link I've heard of multiple photographers solicited by models for far more than modeling and for pay. More than a dozen than I know of.

Aug 23 16 03:54 pm Link kickfight wrote: It's not all hearsay, it happened to me a couple of times over the last 10 years. But when I started in my 20s it happened all the time. Of course that was the 70's and most of us would never of complained.

Aug 23 16 04:24 pm Link HHonor wrote: I have plenty but I am hesitant to describe them because the few times I did in the past everyone either thinks i'm joking or bragging or calls me "lucky" or starts victim blaming. Aug 23 16 08:56 pm Link Jerry Nemeth wrote: I believe you, but at the same time that's hard to believe. I've only been doing this for just under 2 years, and it's happened to me several times already. I wouldn't say it's common, but I wouldn't say it's the rarest thing ever either, based on my experience, and no hearsay or anyone else's experience. Aug 24 16 01:19 pm Link Things don't have to be done to, or by the majority of a group, for that group to be all painted with that brush, and perceived that way. Works both ways. 'Some did, therefore all do' is often the portrayal and the perception by others. For newbies reading EDU articles, perception is their reality.

Aug 24 16 05:02 pm Link Paolo Diavolo wrote: True, Aug 24 16 09:19 pm Link A cute model grabbed my butt once. She is a goof. Another popped her new breasts out to show her increased size. She told me and the MUA to feel them which I promptly did. Another told me I got her wet.... I'm no Denzel Washington or mack daddy and these kinds of things haven't happened often, darn it. I did read the thread this was based on. Sigh.... I can only imagine some of the awful shi* some models hear and deal with but I also know that very often we create our own reality and acceptance of things. While no man should say sexist or demeaning things to a woman. You can tell that fool to knock it off or you'll leave. Yet sometimes what you think you heard you didn't. Several months ago a gay male friend of mine asked me about something he thought I said. He claimed I asked him why he never asked me out. That took me aback. I'm not gay nor would I ever say anything remotely like that to him or any man. Clearly there was some confusion and I told him so. No harm no foul. If a photographer says something you consider fuc#ed up ask him to clarify. If he pulls his pecker out at a session, leave. If he asks you to pose in a manner you aren't comfortable with, say so. There is that old saying. Not saying no gives permission. Aug 24 16 09:42 pm Link After the dust ruffled by the tone of the real thread and the staggering reality these models are experiencing of such criminal abuse. I think they might need to involve police. Plain and simple. I also think they need to include the photographers and not create a divide against them. MM isn't going to get rid of members but, others in the local community who know of a jerk, creep or criminal, can have an influence. I know it was more than once that a photographer advised what they had heard about another photographer's reputation from other models and I didn't end up doing the previously lined up shoot based on that. Jen Aug 25 16 09:43 am Link I've had one stick her hand down my pants, another pushed me up against a wall while rubbing her breasts against me. The first was also a photographer, the second was a police officer (so am I). This thread appears to have been moved because of a few people trying to be white knights with fake indignation. I'm sure a few models were impressed. It doesn't change this belongs in the photography forum. This thread should point out not only the thefts, weight gains, cancelations and bizarre expectations, but that many of the issues are simply a matter of people who are classless or "bad", for lack of a better term. The issue is with the actions of those people involved, not whether they are holding the camera, applying makeup, or posing. A well written article would be in depth and cover the issues from multiple sides. I write for magazines, and unless you are willing to write the article fairly, it is nothing more than a hit piece. The opposite is true as well, if you cover all bases, it becomes an educational article that all can learn from. I wish the team writing the article about the model problems the best of luck, and hope they decide to engage problem issues in the industry as an entire picture, not just a slice.

At the same point, calling the police because you decided to up rates and the other party says get out, you deserve what you get. Ive seen both sides as a police officer. A staggering amount of times people call the police the alleged crime was made up or distorted. There is also a large amount of time people don't report incidents because they are embarrassed. Sep 09 16 06:17 pm Link back on topic... getting paid, then wanting pictures for their paid-membership website Sep 09 16 11:50 pm Link A model told me she loved me. Another told me I must have a good camera. Sep 12 16 12:55 am Link this is on par with the "Straight Pride Parade" or the "All Lives Matter" hashtag. lol. Sep 12 16 01:46 am Link "I can't take this ankle bracelet off, can you paint it out?" "I think your toilet is broken." "Can we do that again!" Sep 13 16 08:33 pm Link Do you know what a fluffer is? Implying that I should manually help him make his pee-pee bigger. I was fine with it, he had size issues. This model is not in my profile. Sep 15 16 08:16 pm Link Alannah The Stylist wrote: How so?
