Be Honest

I responded to a casting call on Model Mayhem that was listed as TF.

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 smile "


(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.
