Model throwing a nasty look at another model ?
I did a photo shoot with 3 models together. I had a female model friend walk in to the studio so I stopped taking photos (only for a few minutes)and introduced my friend to a head booker from the agency I worked at. My friend after the shoot told me that one of the 3 models gave her a really nasty look to which I have no idea why. Can another model or photographer explain this ? Was she jealous that I took my attention off her and the other two models to speak and introduce my friend to another ? And is this a typical female model thing ? Feb 15 06 05:20 am Link Ok so did I just ask a stupid question ? Feb 15 06 05:32 am Link I imagine they're annoyed that you stopped shooting them to talk to someone else... Feb 15 06 05:38 am Link Yeh but the nasty look was only from one model fi. Clearly the other two models didnt mind. Feb 15 06 05:56 am Link The answer to your question.. yes yes and yes. many many many models can be very catty. especially if they find the intrusive model more attractive than they are. of course thats all a self image thing.. but yes... jealousy about her looks and time taken away from her. but then again the truth will never really be known unless you ask the frowning girl. Feb 15 06 06:15 am Link It could have been that the momentum was interrupted. Feb 15 06 06:17 am Link yes some women are like that and maybe it wasnt jealousy but annoyance with the girl being there could have messed up her vibe. did you ask the girls if they minded the chick staying around? from the post you made it seems like she sat/stood around and watched. Feb 15 06 06:18 am Link oh and yes even if the other two didnt mind. she is her own person, obviously she did. Feb 15 06 06:20 am Link I do my best work when I and the model(s) shut out the world and proceed as though we are all that matters. Any interruption, and the interruptor, is resented to some degree. How much that degree is, is, very individual.

Trying to get all three of them to interact with each other. Capri Cherry wrote: No I didnt speak to the girls Capri my female model friend just walked into the studio a few steps and I walked up to her to see what she wanted and I then introduced her to the head booker.

The headbooker, her boyfriend and the models family members. Feb 15 06 06:36 am Link OH crap... you said they were ages 16 to 18?!! Oh thats it right there! come on!!!! OMG becky... so we were like shooting.. and this GIRL barges in like she owns the place... i mean come on.. i though i was at a professional shoot or sumin......... haha.. yeah..... catty 16 yo... but.... sometimes that reaction has no age boundries lol. welcome to our world where models are perceived as high maintenance pains in the butts and photographers as scummy guys who want to sleep with them. hahaha.. fortunately from what I can tell there are few of those in either spectrum and the majority of everyone is pretty cool and professional. OMG BECKY! Feb 15 06 07:03 am Link girls always give other girls nasty looks because girls are sheisty...it's just a fact of life...

Not being a girl and all I don't experience any of that or live in a girls world so to speak. Feb 15 06 07:24 am Link not exactly the same, but i have seen models leave nasty comments like "EWWW SHE LOOKS LIKE A NASTY DOG GROSS" etc etc on pics before. maybe it was a joke, i can't tell. why the model with the picture didn't delete the comment, i'm not sure. but either way, there's always the possibility of some backstory, some backstabbing, some reason why one person might have some complaint with another, even if only for invisible petty reasons. Feb 15 06 07:54 am Link I am sorry but what the hell are people thinking??? I would not give a flying toss what people think of me or how they look at me if i don't know them personally. I am only 23 and know this wise bit of wisdom. I am sorry maybe your friend should grow up a little. ***waits for the ear bashing*** xx shelly xx Feb 15 06 10:38 am Link I hope none of my models would act like that. Maintaining a friendly set is a top priority for me.

No pity for the attitudinally challenged... I say we club her like a baby seal... I guess that would get rid of a major percentage of teenagers, wouldn't it? Feb 15 06 11:49 am Link Raven Photography wrote: ROTFLMFAO...DUH.... Feb 15 06 11:51 am Link In my opinion it was rude of your model friend to walk in on a shoot in progress. When you see a shoot going on you should come back later and not draw attention to yourself. Common etiquette ...... As the photographer I would have asked her to please come back when I was finished shooting because I would like to introduce her to so and so. Feb 15 06 12:27 pm Link Mary wrote: Good call Mary. Feb 15 06 12:36 pm Link I went to a "casting call" of sorts this weekend. Generally I am nice to everyone and make small talk a little. Everyone was really nice except this one girl. It literally took me about an hour to realize she was absolutely IGNORING the fact that I was there. I asked her a question and she completely ignored me. I thought she just didn't hear me! The owner of the studio was showing me tearsheets from the magazine and this chick walks right up in between us and says "i need to talk to you". He said "not right now, I'm explaining something to Suzi". So she just stood there! Right in between us! It was incredible. Feb 15 06 12:37 pm Link girls are bitches. period.

Feb 15 06 12:46 pm Link I have been shooting models for over 10 years now and one thing that has remained consistent is that models are VERY catty around other models that they don't know. Shoot......women are catty around other women that they don't know period. I would imagine your friend that stopped by is very attractive. The model that gave the dirty look probably felt the pressure and her outlet was to give the threat the stare down. I love that kind of competitive spirit. I say break out the baby oil and let em' fight. Marion Frank Star Quality Images Feb 15 06 12:52 pm Link 16-18, you did answer your own Q! but seriously? just because you didn't see the other 2 girls "mind", you don't really know- they coulda' been catty, too, and just not have gotten caught! yeah, girls can be catty, and yet- you stopped a shoot to introduce another (walking in part way through) model to an agent while shooting other girls? its tacky... i wouldn't be rolling eyes at the girl, but i'd be questioning the photogs' tact in my own mind from then on... just imo! Feb 15 06 12:56 pm Link Just keep some saucers around to serve milk in and you'll be fine with most women when they see a potential rival for attention. Nature of the beasties. If they weren't so damn cute when they purr and stretch I would have given up photographing them years ago. Feb 15 06 01:00 pm Link I even feel guilty taking a phone call when I'm in the middle of a shoot.

You said that you had an opportunity to ask her a couple of years later. Why are you bringing it up here and now? Feb 15 06 08:41 pm Link I was going to ask the same question. I guess he just felt like posting a message. Paul Feb 15 06 08:51 pm Link Tracey Masterson wrote: Because its been stuck on my mind ever since I did the shoot years ago.
