Just had a Cancellation
Iâm new here and need advice! I email a few local models with good looking ports and had a couple respond. I set a time a date with one of them: MAÃANA (Tomorrow) at 6am (Her perfect hour so she can go to work afterwards). She just called and said that she was reading a forum I had started the other day and read a post from a Photographer (A Dip! Good photographer, but a DIP! IMO) who slammed my work. She called and CANCELLED!!! She said that it seems I have no experience and to call her next year!!! Iâm not a mean person but I donât think Iâll ever call her again unless she PUTS OUT some $$$! Thanks A.H of TX! Even on my worst day in Mexico I ever had that happen. Oh, does that happen around here allot? If it does I will not post any more to avoid any negative influences! Jun 01 06 07:50 pm Link It happens is all I can say. Keep shooting and try not to be vengeful at all. Your energy will be much better spent on building your portfolio and building bridges through open lines of communication. Shoot right and fear not Craig Jun 01 06 07:56 pm Link Craig is right...cancellations seem to be the norm sometimes. I would rather hear "my dog ate my homework" than the rudeness you had to deal with. Tomorrow is another day... Jun 01 06 07:58 pm Link Sounds like some he said/she said nonsense. If she was willing to cancel a) over something said by one person b) on an internet forum no less c) because of your experience as opposed to your actual work (which I haven't actually looked at, bytheway) ...well, you might be better off not having shot with her. To be fair, many models around here will cancel without so much as calling... Jun 01 06 07:58 pm Link Jay Bowman wrote: I guess your right. She did at least call. Jun 01 06 08:02 pm Link Just had a look at your port and it looks respectable enough to me! Consider it a blessing that she pulled out before you got up early and set up studio! She probably wouldn't of turned up any way. Presumably she saw your pics before agreeing to the shoot. Any desent model would have supported you and gone ahead with the shoot! I'm totally against slagging other togs and mods off unless they've ripped someone off (tog) or didnt show (mod.) Shoot on! (and dont call her back!) Blessings Charlie Jun 01 06 08:03 pm Link The guy sounds like a real asshole.....it sucks bad, but believe me, once the RIGHT models see the angle he's taking, they'll realize what a dick head he really is if he has to employ those tactics.....Craig;s advice is exactly right.....keep doing what you're doing, and this guy will hang himself by his own stupidity, an intelligent model would not be that easily swayed, and would recognize his poor approach to make himself look better by belittling himself. Cancellations suck, but at least she did call....her loss, your savings on possible wasted time. Jun 01 06 08:03 pm Link What's a Dip?

Jun 01 06 08:05 pm Link Hmm, yeah, if what she saw in your port was good enough to entice her to want to work with you, it's pretty darn stupid for her to NOW change her mind because of what some unrelated 3rd party had to say... On the other hand, maybe it was just a convenient excuse for her to back out. Either way, like the others said, you probably didn't want to work with her anyway. And yep, she CALLED... which puts her one step ahead of SOOO many other dingbats I've dealt with online.... lol Jun 01 06 08:07 pm Link I was trying to be nice!! A "dip" is a "Dip Shit"!!!

Particularly after having set up a time to meet. Jun 01 06 08:08 pm Link Craig Thomson wrote: Save the tiniest piece o vengefulness. In a year, send her your best work with RATES. Jun 01 06 08:18 pm Link Nihilus wrote: here here! Jun 01 06 08:18 pm Link How very silly, at least she called. Don't let it phase you keep shooting. as a model I get many jobs from the forums, as a photographer as well I have made some great connections on these forums. The only reason I would not shoot with someone for what they said is if they were super stupid and said they hurt people, broke things, or some such.... Jun 01 06 08:59 pm Link If she wants to limit her possibilities, that's her problem. Keep on shooting. There are more models out there that are professional and will keep to a committment once it is made than not (despite what happened to me 2 weekends ago...) Jun 01 06 09:28 pm Link If she sees this thread you started she may say forget about next year, too. Jun 01 06 10:10 pm Link Bill Gunter wrote: Who cares? Good riddance.....
