I see so much complaining here, IE topics beat to death, flakes, yada, yada, yada... How about recognizing and sharing some of the enjoyable experiences you've had with the talented members here on MM?

I'll go first...

I worked with https://www.modelmayhem.com/member.php?id=28713 yesterday and it was an absolute blast! She is a superwunnerful model! Very professional and versatile but, most important, knows how to have fun while still being productive! It's shoots like this that outshine the less than desirable moments and make them a distant memory not worth recalling!

Next...

I like this! And I just shot TFP/CD with MM model 132077. It was fun, did not seem like work and we created some nice images for our ports. We will pick our favorites and post soon. We are hoping to work together again soon and this gives me a reference for other models to check here in my new home town. Next?

* Jessica Jill (MM#102226) - Book her! Book her now! Jessica really goes the extra mile to get the shot you need. She follows direction well. And she has a ton of ideas of her own. Jessica has a fantastic figure that is simply to-die-for. She has a crocodile smile, and a killer personality to boot. Fuck professionalism. This chick is just too damn SMOKIN' HOT! What's a man to do? On second thought, nevermind. Don't book her. I'm keeping Jessica all to myself! Anyhow. She hates artichokes. But she loves tequila. W.A.S.P.

* Melany Wells (MM#110458) - Well, slap my ass and call me Judy! Melany is a true professional but she definitely goes out of her way to make a fun shoot. Wax the ass. And don't worry. The good stuff ain't showin. I promise. Now lets go streaking!

* Tiffany Rose (MM#102571) - Tiffany takes direction exceptionally well and was an absolute pleasure to work with. She was open to my ideas and even had some of her own. Tiffany can dish it out as well as she can take it.

* Heather Marston (MM#24106) - Heather was one of the first models I ever flew in from out of town. She made me a true believer that you can successfully work with out of state models.

* Brandy (MM#2450) - What can be said about Brandy that you all don't already know. I have shot with her more than I have with any other model. We have an incredible history together that I'll never forget. She even witnessed me clean the toilet with my former roommate's toothbrush. "JOHN!!! I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU JUST DID THAT!" Trust me. He deserved it.

* Miya (MM#2802) - We never did actually shoot together. But we have attempted it several times. Miya will forever be known for introducing me to food from India. That was some weird shit. And for what it's worth, my pants WERE around my ankles at the table.

* Tiger (MM#1317) - Never shot with her either. But she has slept on my couch on two occasions. She loves my parrots, she killed my dog, and she broke my car.

* Lady Bronze (MM#13444) - One of the most bizarre projects I have ever worked on. Covered head to toe in barbecue sauce, Miss Bronze took the abuse with a smile. The most fun I've had shooting in a long time. She is certainly on my top 10 list.

* Heather Beckham (MM#80545) - At a time when I was mostly shooting on location, Heather brought me back into the studio. That was refreshing for a change. Heather inspired me to do a lot more studio shooting and she showed me just how easily my livingroom can, in fact, be converted into one.

* Sara Donaven (MM#5372) - Sara, the gem from Wisconsin. Some of my all time sexiest work came from this classy lady. From Jerome to Apache Junction, she was a pleasure. Up at 7AM and no bitching about it to be heard. But she does snore when she sleeps in the car.

* Cali-Luv (MM#19545) - July 2005. I drive to Orange County with shoots lined up with several different models out there. Cali was the only one to show up. This time, instead of 7AM it was 5AM. She showed up on time with a smile and ready to work. It was a nude shoot on the rocks at Corona Del Mar. She was escorted by her mom. So, here we are and Cali's buck naked on some rocks. I'm snapping away and everything is going great when all of a sudden Mom's head pops up over a rock and exclaims, "I found some great rocks for the dogs to chew on!" That's a classic!

* Megan Reilly (MM#57267) - This young lady has a lot of potential. We spent the entire day shooting in downtown Phoenix. The only unfortunate thing was that I thought the hootin' and hollerin' by passersby were for me. Apparently they weren't.

* Erin Maupin (MM#12554) - So she stands up to get out of the waterfall and I look and she's got leeches all over her ass! "Don't worry. I'll get them off of you." What a trooper!

* Nerlande (MM#3027) - All the way from NYC to shoot with me? You bet your sweet ass! Long story short: "You want some pancakes with that butter?"

* Sabina (MM#33030) - We pull up to the Bank of America building. It's broad daylight. She strips down to her bikini and climbs into the water fountain. Snap Snap Snap and we're outa there! But not before a crowd of about 50 onlookers start to gather and begin cheering, jeering and gasping. Here come's security. We're gone! Now that's what I call shoot and run!

* Dark Desire (MM#774) - I've gotten some of my most unique artistic work from this lovely gal. She's become a great friend and will always be on the top of my highly recommended list. Oh, DD and I have got our stories to tell. But you'll never hear them from me!

I think you'll find that this thread will probably get few replies. People are drawn more to the drama threads. But I'll bump it to keep it on the first page.

I had a great shoot today with Violetta Storms (MM 109547).  She was a real trooper and we got over 800 photos.  Her acting talent came through as well.  Most of the photos are 18+ (including the shot in my portfolio here) but this one is pretty much harmless:



For one more (18+) you can check out my portfolio...

Well, I just moved and I have a shit ton of models I want to work with from MM. 

But alas, the downer is that now that I'm finally closer to Shyly, she's going to be relocating down where I just left from.

i always enjoy working with faith (17018) and tranasia (99580), those are my 2 cool peoples, and its always refreshing to work with 2 names in NYC who are very active/established but yet so humble and actually comical/goofy to be around, lol. i can never get tired of working with the both of them, never, and even better, they both can put up with me and my usual "quirkiness" of quirks, lol.

I haven't actually had a chance to work with any models from here yet...but, i have been in contact with a few. the good thing is, these models have contacted me! so that makes me feel decent.

Lindy Blu from Las VegasOMP#9291)  - one of the finest lady and model I have ever met on the internet.

Natalya C (MM 21723) - One of the very nicest, and one of the most capable models I have ever worked with

Heidi Z (MM 4397) - Really talented, beautiful, down to earth and a real hoot to work with.

Malisia (OMP 18622) - A very beautiful, creative pro - hard working - can't imagine what she couldn't do.

Wendy (MM 65609) - Very creative and talented - just a joy to work with.

Stacy Lee (MM 5797) - Very beautiful, talented and hardworking -  one of the very best!

Yulia (MM 7887) - Only had a chance to work with her once, but you could see the talent and beauty.  Excellent collaborator, hard worker.

I'll think of others...

I just did another shoot with the wonderful Kaiya Seng - MM #9800.  The 4 hour shoot absolutely flew by.  She always comes prepared, ready to work, and ready to have fun. 

I always enjoy collaborating with her!

Just back from a long day of photo fun with Mira Noir. Our first time working together but I hope not our last. Beauty combined with creativity, rapid and professional communication both before and during the shoot... it was like she was reading my mind.

I've heard many complaints about models being late. Not this lady, even for an early morning start. Try 20 minutes ahead of schedule!
