I know it is a crazy thought: Get out your wallet and feed your favorite model for a shoot.

Maybe in June we can have a feed the photographers month.

I don't know about you, but most photographers I have worked with fed me at least a snack.

I started what became a long thread about inviting a model for a meal after a shoot.

I like to do it.

Funny you should say that... was going to order a pizza but decided instead that In-N-Out sounds so much better (my trainer would be proud!)  Anyone want to join me?

I was always taught to NEVER feed the models...(and you just don't know WHERE their mouths have been!)

We always have snacks and beverages (water/soda) in the studio in our minifridge.  Plus any shoot that's 1/2 day or more comes with a meal for the model (lunch or dinner, depending on time of day).

I don't know how good it would be by the time it got there but maybe Fed-Ex could get it there quick enough.

I make my models sandwiches. They're grilled, and they're spectacular.

I normally shoot late afternoons.  After the shoot is over, I just say "I need to get food.  I'll feed you if you want to come along."  If they have an escort, they're invited too.  And it's usually a casual sit down restaurant.

Wait, when did it become okay for models to eat?

(Sorry for the obvious joke, I just couldn't help myself)

I usually have something delivered to the studio. Service is great. Ten minutes, two delivery guys. It's hard to make them leave though.

I always have to explain to photographers that I'm vegan and health-conscious, because more than likely they offer me food.  I'm pretty skinny, so I don't want them to think that I don't eat!
