height-lying models...i'm not really mad :-)
Just a quick one if anyone wants to say something on this. Did a shoot with a model recetly. Listed on OMP as being height 5'2. So i knew she was short, no big deal right? my assistant/mua for the shoot is 5'3. This girl was much shorter than my assistant, neither of them were wearing heels or blocky shoes. I'm guessing she was 4'10 MAYBE 4'11, 5 feet tall on the best day of her life. Like i said its no biggie she is short, might i have not shot with her if i knew the truth...possibly. But lying about 3-4 inches is much. Pics came out OK, its totally my fault, she had some REALLY nice headshots, but i didn't ask to see any full lenght shots. Any comments?

However, some photographers strictly work with tall girls and wouldn't bother setting up a shoot with her anyway, whether she was 5'6'', 5'3'', or 4'11''. I'd say she got lucky, that you weren't like "get out, you lied" lol. Mar 01 06 01:59 pm Link hmmm.people lie about that stuff alot it seems, It isnt your fault you didnt know. It is hard to judge height from headshots though,lol.dont worry.  Mar 01 06 02:00 pm Link Since she wasn't on a runway, unless it affected the fit of an outfit, I guess I don't see the harm. I don't get hung up on height. I've had one model 5'10" who seemed shorter than I (5'10")...and another who listed at 5'5" inches who appeared much taller. I don't keep a convenience store height chart by my studio door so I'm guessing it has more to do with presence.. Mar 01 06 02:00 pm Link ur right some would have done that, i'm not that mean yet, besides she was soooo small, its hard to get mad at something so tiny...lol. cole Mar 01 06 02:03 pm Link Sagacity Studios wrote: interesting lol Mar 01 06 02:04 pm Link I don't understand why you would. I mean you could easily put some platforms or high-heel shoes on and be 5'2,or whatever. I'm a proud 4'9,and my profile actually says so. :] Mar 01 06 02:05 pm Link Nerlande wrote: yeah, totally agree Mar 01 06 02:05 pm Link Yumemiru wrote: EXATCLY, be proud and list what you ARE.
