Hello I'm new here, I'm wondering if anyone can help with this question. How can you get female model to commit in working with you project without having bailout on you or never contact you back after they say to you that they are interested....but lied? I've been have a terrible finding a female model to help me with my project & I'm trying to get together. I'm in dire need of a female model, a dead serious one by next Friday. I'm open for your feedback. I need it.

Sorry, I don't know any 'dead serious' models who enjoy having a pie smashed in their face -- or who would like to have photos of such an event.

Money talks, bullshit walks. Beyond that, current unwritten rules prevent me from giving you an informed response to your question outside of the critique forum. If you would like my input, please start a new thread asking for a critique. Then come back here and link to that thread so I and others can respond without risk of penalty.

WP- You are having problems because most models would not want the type and quality of your portfolio pictures in their own portfolio. As is common in the fetish/porn industry-you will have to pay your models appropriately. -Scott Worthems Photographs wrote:

Maybe it's because your portfolio looks like you are shooting porn???

I'm sure I'll find a model who wants to be different & have the "boobs" to have fun!

Maybe it's because you keep calling them "boobs"?
If I was old enough, I don't think I would shoot with someone who told me I had nice "boobs", or used boobs in the message asking me to shoot with them fetish or not, it still doesn't scream photographer. That's right up there in my books with saying "You have nice juggz. Shoot?" PASS.

Yeah sometimes I think that a majority of female models are the joke, you be polite & professional as possible & some don't return the favor.

I'm open for your feedback. I need it. 1. Communicate well
2. Don't post insulting generalizations about female models in the forums
If you've tried these things and they don't work, perhaps you have other issues.

Saying that you are sure you're going to find a model has the 'boobs' to be brave and have fun is really not going to attract anyone. I have 'boobs', and I like them. I am not 'boobless' in the wits department either, and I like having fun.
But your port and your style is something most models wouldn't want to be known for. 'slapsticksexy.com' sounds almost pornish, and while most models have the 'boobs' to be brave, they also don't want to be known for that sort of work.
There is a difference between being brave and tasteful and being...well, I don't think I can say what I want to say.
Also, generalizing all female models the way you did is going to turn many girls away.
tl;dr offer pay, and lots of it.

Of course I offer reasonable pay, but I'm not going to offer them the farm either. I do look very hard in finding female models. The models so far here are too vain, two sandwiches short of a picnic or that's I'm a complete nobody, I've been doing this since 1999.

I wouldn't consider myself 'vain'. I just really don't favor rubbing pie all over my butt, either. Or my face. Or any other part of my body. It isn't my cup of tea, and it isn't going to be a lot of other models favorite pastime either.
You're doing something that isn't popular, so it is going to take you longer to find willing participants. Learn to roll with it, instead of narrowing your chances by insulting every single female on the site.

I hope you don't expect this thread to help you get any models when you're insulting all of us constantly.

Start by not insulting models in this thread. Part of your job as a photographer is to nurture a fun and inviting shooting project to attract models - I imagine this is especially the case for fetish work. If you're been shooting since 1999, you should probably have figured this out by now. You're not exactly making any friends here.

You've been doing this since 1999 and suddenly there's a shortage of women who want to get naked and play with sticky gooey food? I doubt that.
There are plenty of women out there into all kinds of fetishes -- and your stuff seems harmless and fun compared to many other fetishes out there.
Maybe something about your approach is turning women off from working with you.
