Let's all put our ego's on the shelf here...

Models and photographers need to understand that testing with someone is of mutual benefit. Niether is better than the other and both are required to obtain the "money shot".

The talent, time, money, experience and equipment that a photographer brings to the table is as important as the talent, time, money, etc... that a model brings to the table.

If you work in the real world of photography... both model and photographer are considered talent by the client and ad agency and both can be as easily replaced as the other.

Let's go back to kindergarten and all play nicely in the MM sandbox.

Peace....

Yes, yes!  This is why I am here, to find models I can work with as partners. and collaborate with.  The money will come  but I beleive it is inthe collaboration where the outstanding work is produced.

It's nice to see a positve post around here instead of one bitching about who should get paid or who flaked or any of the other ten million topics that are beat to death around here.
