taking forever to send my pictures!!!!! AAAARG!!!
ok, so basically, about 6 weeks ago I had a TFP shoot with someone in a different city than my own. It was a really good shoot as far as artistic chemistry with the photographer and I left on a very good note with him. We've been communicating a little bit but he STILL hasnt sent me my CD!!! He keeps saying he is going to and that he just wants to perfect it...but 6 weeks is ridiculous..... am I the one being ridiculous? What should I do?

TF situations are not paid though getting away with this would not be tolerated with agencies. I have made people wait and people have made me wait, the past is past so being nasty rarely fixes a problem such as this one. Though not sure what new revelation you expect out of this question. You have read enough of these threads but I know you just want to vent. I give you a hug. May 26 06 06:39 pm Link Audra Isadora wrote: Did you set a time restraint? Did you agree to a certain time frame in the model release? May 26 06 06:41 pm Link It is usually one of (3) reasons why pictures are not submitted to a model following a TFP. 1) The photography sucked and images aren't worth releasing; 2) The model sucked and images aren't worth releasing; 3) The photographer is either too lazy or too busy to concern himself with providing images due to the hunt being more important than the capture of the game. Not much one can do but move on to the next. Chalk it up to a bad barter and remember what goes around comes around.

The good thing is, he does respond to my calls so its not like hes avoiding me. I'll try to give him the benefit of the doubt and wait it out a little longer... May 26 06 06:56 pm Link |
