Please help me she says... "I need help building my portfolio. I need a male model to do shoots like those in my list and I need a photographer that can take the pictures. I need both to be very professional and to do what I need to help further build my port.. If you can help please write me
"
(Shauna is not the model I'm talking about)
I responded and her reply was to inform me of her fee. Negotiating a fee or trade is totally cool, but advertising TF and replying with different terms is called bait and switch. I won't work with this model ever, and now many of my photographer friends know her deal too. Building a reputation of being honest, showing up, being dependable, is vital to a models career. This girl just spoiled her reputation. Make sure you keep your reputation un-spotted.
I especially love it when they just don't show up for absolutely no good reason at all and then try to get you to set up another date to shoot... act of God, family or personal emergency... possibly. Stupidity or flakiness, nope, sorry, you had your chance and I don't have time to babysit.
