Ranting, raving, complaining, whining...
Ok, so I know there have been tons of these types of threads but I figured for the first time I'd like to start my own. I had been in contact with a model on MM for a TFP shoot. His profile stated no experience, TFP and so on. Suddenly his profile has been changed to read very experienced in print, runway, etc, X years experience, PAID assignments only. Not that his portfolio shows that type of experience in the least. In our message exchange he seemed very nice and interested in the upcoming project. So I'm really wondering do models often change their profiles to match some alternate reality? I hate to add to the negative threads abundant on here, but the outright lying really surprised me. I don't care if you want to paid or even what you want to be paid, that's fine. But don't inflate your profile to match the exorbitant rates you'd like to charge. People will either pay or they won't. Just be honest. Sheesh! Jul 12 06 11:43 am Link Colford Studios wrote: An honest male?

(I guess I got up on the wrong side of the bed today) If someone isn't interested in working with you, common PROFESSIONAL courtesy would suggest that they at least respond with a simple "no thank you." I don't even need a reason. Just an acknowledgement email won't kill you. Sheeesh!

An acknowledgement of any type would be nice for any e-mail. It sucks when you send someone something and then you check a few days later and they have read the damn message but did not respond to it! Errrr.....

I prefer not to be contacting to many people at the same time. Jul 12 06 02:51 pm Link |
