What about Photog's?
I looked for topic's on what I am about to address, but could not find any. Soooo if there is one, I apologize now. :0) I have seen topic's here on models who are always late or are no call/no show's. So has anyone had this problem, but with photog's? I have had a few instances where the photog and I had agreed to work together, set the date, talked on the phone or via email. We had it all set up and then, poof, not a word after that. Now, you have scheduled that weekend to work and now nothing. Anyway, just wanted to see if anyone else has run into this as well and what your thoughts are. I am sooooo not complaining, I know it is part of the bus. Just wanted others' thoughts on the topic as well. Have a lovely evening, XoXo JJ~ Mar 21 06 08:00 pm Link i am always fashionably late...but i always show...

Mar 21 06 08:25 pm Link It's not fair to pick on models when photographers and just about any human being can be late. I commented on another thread about this but it got buried. I listed some ideas to help motivate people to be on time to shoots like; (1) Get the people invested in the shoot. If money is being exchanged, she or he is more likely to show up on time! It's a serious loss if you show up late to court or the hospital. So if "serious loss" of money, freedom or life is involved, we show up!  (2) Be sure you have exchanged cell phone numbers AND that directions are CLEAR. I have a minutes plan that allows for up 5,000 minutes and long distance so I don't care if I talk to someone while giving them directions. (3) Have alternative plans or things to do available to you so that you are not bored (which contributes to mad moods.) I like to have several people around so that I can put someone in right away to check lighting, warm up, etc. ... before the model gets there. Then when the model arrives, they jump in! It works that way in Hollywood! If you can find something else to occupy your time, you'll feel better. (4) Car pool or make arrangements for transportation. This is a good thing to do, especially when it's critical to have everyone there about the same time. Traffic becomes less of an "poor" excuse when we are together in it! LOL For those who do "TFP" and complain ... all I can say is what does the photographer and model have to lose? It's part of the risk you take in doing "TFP" ... it's better to pay the models!
