I read a lot of post here on MM and it seams like no matter what the subject is the model is always made to feel wrong for having an opinion. I think in most cases the Photographers are older then the Models and may have a little more life experience but that doesn't make us always right. We all are entitled to our opinions and should be able to express them without the fear of hearing " No one is going to work with you with that attitude". Just my thoughts.

PS. I Love this place and just want everyone to have the same cool experience!!!

While there is quite a bit of model bashing, I've never been made to feel as tho I was wrong for having an opinion. This site for the most part is a nice place. smile

does spending 14 hours including shooting time on a so called pro model

and creating excellent images that model cant post to her port with credits seem like a Good model to you?

and posting doubles and triples in her portfolio with best buddy previous photographer .

Some people do not take there career seriously, appreciate time and talent spent and are her for reasons other then Modeling

People get what they give and deserve

thank you.
i agree.
i get really frustrated sometimes. mainly with the assumption that all models are unintelligent flakes.
though i just think there is a lot of bashing in general.

we all need those shirts that say, "does not play well with others"

ahh.......okay...
but, um, speaking of model bashing, your photo caption is a little unprofesional....
i'm sorry if you've had a bad experience recently, but i guarantee that not all models are the same, and that there are a lot of us out there who are capable, friendly, and professional.

To me...out of the mouth pours confessions of the heart/mind. So anyone can presume a model (or anyone for that matter), to be a fool. But it's YOU, and only you that either confirms or denies their presumption once you open your mouth.
There's nothing wrong with having an opinion, just be big enough to stand behind your words. What ever the consequence. For he most part...I think there are alot of really talented people here.

I'm just saying we all need each other so why not treat everybody with respect. Everyone has a bad experience from time to time but all and all this is a great place for creative people to get to create together.

or learn from people, or make new acquaintances / friends, etc?  Every board has cliques, rogues, etc..

after reading post on here from many models and photographers....i like to see that a lot of these people have brains. the way they express their thoughts and knowledge of issues other than modeling...they deserve props. Some people are more than pretty faces, they have brains. People that bash, are not bashing others really...they are putting out what they are feeling for themselves. Models and Photographers...Fuck them...you know whats real and whats good.

I never bash models or photographers I just bash individual people who prove to me over and over again they are stupid. wink
we all try to get along but sometimes we just have to vent our frustrations about this buisness.

I try not to 'bash' on anyone.  I might occasionally say something that can be taken out of context but I put people into two categories.  People I respect and value their opinions be it modeling, photography, philosophy, or the best way to clean a kitchen, and people I do not respect.  Generally elitists, whiners, bashers, and rectal orifices fall into this category.
