With all the negative formum posts, I wanted to see something a bit lighter so here it is. I would like to hear from MM members about how many shoots you have completed as a result of your portfolio being on MM. And what type of shoots were they? Were you paid, did you pay or was is a TFCD/TFP?

It happens.  I'll take money if I really, really don't want to shoot her.  I can be bought.

I have done 10 shoots with models here on MM.  2 shoots were I paid due to special requirements I had for the shoot, all the others TFCD.   Also have a few more scheduled in the coming month.

No shit? Josie, I always thought you were one of the exceptional models posted on MM, I need to revisit your port and make sure I passed the compliment on...  LOL

as for MM, actually completed 1 (6 models I've shot subsequently joined MM or I met off site or were shot as part of a MM get together, so those I don't count...).  I've had 2-3 cancel, another 2-3 I gave up trying to schedule, but I'll keep trying as there are some exceptional models here...  Always the optimist...  LOL

One shoot with 2 MM models. Decent results considering the experience of the models.

I seriously doubt people are getting paid work from this site. Do I have to say TFP?

I am trying to get a MM model for my paid shoot on Friday. She is one of the top 5 for the project. We'll see...

hmm i've only worked with 3 from MM smile all tfcd.  If you look at my port, can you take a wild guess at what photog was not a pro? LoL

And hey! I've actually requested rates from MUA's, Stylists, and photogs!  Sheesh, if I WANT to pay you, you'd think they'd respond back... I'm not that much of a grizzly bear am I? LoL

I wouldnt mind paying the right people as long as I am getting magazine quality images.  pssssh, some of the Photogs that have contacted me through omp and Musecube, and they want me to pay, it looks like my 5 year old neice took the pics for them.  HmPh ~shrugs~

5 MM photographers (2 more scheduled for the next few weeks)
1 MM model
NUMEROUS unanswered emails (how are you not going to answer an email about a casting, yet you want to be considered a pseudo- or quasi- professional?)

Either way, I'm having fun and loving it.  The last 4 or 5 weekends have been busy with shoots.  Thanks MM!  wink

So far no shoots with MM models.   I find most of my models by working the streets, and stores.

I've done at least 15 shoots but I've made a profit from very few of them. I only made a profit from about 4 of them because they were commissioned.

I don't really do that much shooting with internet models anymore but I did schedule one shoot with an MM model (trade) and she showed up. I'm kind of afraid to schedule any more and ruin my perfect record.

I get a lot more shoots from models who see my website and contact me from there.

4 shoots with MM photographers, all TFP or TFCD, all very positive experiences. 

I want to do more, but with law school finals coming up I have no time!  Maybe I'll schedule some stuff for December...
