If I look like a fat cow in certain pics (which I am NOT) is it ok to ask the photog to take it down from their port?  Or am I being a diva? 

Why is it that a photog won't let you post a bad image they took but you look like a diva if it is vice versa?  Just curious...

Ok, once and for all.

Model = Diva
Photographer = pompous ass

it's part of the game, it's your job to not eat, and say things like "I actually eat like a horse", "I look fat there."

It's our job to say. "too bad", "I took the picture, I can do what I want". and "I am better than the last photographer you used"

On a TFP shoot I will review the images with the model and together we will decide what images will/can be posted and what images will never see the light of day.

On a paid shoot it's up to the client to decide the images they want.

Just my .02 cents

There is no reason you cannot ask him/her to take down the image. However, you may want to keep a shovel around. The amount of crap coming out of his mouth about how it's one of your best images and it shows the true you like no other picture taken before....Well,  let's just say it can get pretty deep! smile

The coffee she bought for me wasn't hot enough either.  So I threw it at her just to check what degree burn it would amount to.  Since we didn't have to call 911 I figured that she'll live and sent her ass out to starbucks to fetch me another.

Mwahahahaha!

Was the shoot a TFP/TFCD or did you pay the photographer?

I don't pay to pose or pose for pay!  Unless I am selling something.....which test shoots do not!  smile

Yeah the coffee was adequate enough the 2nd time around.  But I did throw garbage at her bc she forgot to buy me a pastry to go with it!!!

That is funny.  What about the rest of us?

Anyway.

Each person has a different agenda.   A good pic for a model may not be great for a photographer,  a great shot for a model may be useless for a MUA,  a good shot for a makeup may very well be useless for a stylist,  and around and around we go.

Just a particularity - it's terminology like this that (subconsciously) gets people used to being afraid of fat, and pursuing lankiness as if it made a lot of sense to do so... it's possible to look *fatter* than you want to in a shot, but a "fat cow" to me is some bitchy girl who also happens to be fat, so let's throw that in against her. Not all fat people are cows, but such cliche phrases start to naturally go together in people's mind if repeated...

Unless you do somehow end up resembling the cow shot provided above, then accurately-spoken :-)

Seriously though. You're 100% correct.

My agent called me a fat cow because I don't weigh 100 lbs. 

So I threw coffee and garbage at her as well.

Doesn't she realize that you are not a cow... and that the biggest part of your fat is limited to the udders... https://img.photobucket.com/albums/v200/UdoRPhotoArchive/MakingAPointGifs/happyd_f.gif

Butt, if you look at it from the udder perspective... the Pig, started to call a model with udders a cow...

... and then the cow-slash-model instead of retaliating like any bovine model would do, she reached out and threw trash and shtuff at the pic to make her feel good.

This means that the bovine Diana has a heart as big as it gets and a stomach that allows regurgitation. big_smile

Did anyone think of the Cow's feelings here?  I mean...what the heck did she do to you guys except provide milk, that was so wrong and made you call her a fat cow?  I mean for all we know, she is  California cow and is therefore a happy cow.

Sorry...  I'm still trying to figure out what lens or angle could possibly be used to render you into a 'fat cow'.  Although mentioning any livestock and the word render in the same sentence could get ugly...

Kudos to the MUA in the pic posted...  I'd like to see a bit more of your attitude in the photo next time, if you don't mind.

Pardon me, I need to dodge some flying coffee and pastry.
