I was speechless when I got that respond from a model I asked to work with. I asked her what are you talking about? She responds "Don't you watch news? 2 girls were murdered by a photographer" What would be your respond? This is what I originally asked her: Hi I own a design studio in Woodland Hills where I do fashion photography, graphic and website design. I am interested in working with you as I do have clients who contantly asking me for models to use for different projects. Please let me know if you are interested. Thanks Bijan www.bijanstudio.com "

You could have responded with ..... "You think you'll end up dead the next morning? But imagine all the great sex we'll have before then!" or...... "Okay. Fine. I plan to murder you. But look at the bright side - I never rape the ones I kill!" or..... "Is that so wrong?" or..... "I only murder the models that are hotter than you. With you, I'll just jerk-off to the photos." or..... "A little necrophelia never hurt anybody." or..... "Dead girls can't say no." or..... "But I'll pay you first." I could go on......

Ahhhhhhhhh... give the model the benefit of the doubt. Maybe she just gets a little, teensy, incy, bit confused when she hears that ALL photographers have a "body of work". Studio36

Every murderer has another profession by day...some are accountants...some are trash collectors...some are PHOTOGRAPHERS. Damn those murderers for giving you photographers a bad name!

Unlike others here, I'll try a serious response. Some models are young and possibly inexperienced, and news stories like this one can be very scary. So, address their concerns: >>> My advice to all models (and photographers) is to check references. >>> I never want a model to do anything that makes them uncomfortable. I want her to tell me if she is uncomfortable. >>> I, for one, am usually happy for a model to bring an escort to a sitting (although I do set the escort's expectations regarding acceptable behavior). >>> Your site seems highly professional -- somehow I doubt that you are alone with the model. Let her know what to expect during a sitting, including whether there will be MUAs or stylists present. >>> Failing that, perhaps the so-called model needs either to figure out how she can be comfortable modeling or to find another line of work.

Goooooooooooood grief! IF you subscribe to that logic: I should be terrified becauseeeeeeeee... There was a single white female driving a white Dodge Durango who was broad-sided and killed instantly on I-285 in ATL yesterday. I am white, single, own a Dodge Durango, and drive I-285 daily. Sheeeeeeeesh, my odds are EVEN higher than hers. That's it...I am NEVER driving again. From this day forward I WILL walk everywhere... Uh-ohhhhhhhh...Noooooooo, wait, that is dangerous too... There was a female pedestrian who was hit on 316 the day before. And ooooooooooohhhhh my gosh I know where the 316 is and have walked across the parking lots and overpasses there too. EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEKKKKKKKKKKKKKKK!
