What not to say on a photo shoot.
Ive learnt over the years that its best to keep your mouth shut on jobs. Clients dont ant your upinion if your a model They just want to get the shot, thats why they booked you. So for many years now, Ive just turned up. stood in front of the camera and gone home. Job done !! Jul 25 06 01:56 am Link *OFFTOPIC, well sort of* hahaha!! I am enjoying these lines very very much. Jul 25 06 02:05 am Link My very first EVER shoot the photog said~~~ "Your ass is soo hot I just want to grab it!" Got my things and LEFT!!!!! SCARY!!!! He was and still a GWC and is still on MM!!!!! ( this wasn't a mis rep by me but thought it was good for this thread.) Jul 25 06 02:12 am Link to AD... just sit there and hold the freakin page layout up to the monitor... makin it fit is YOUR job not mine edit... meant what i said. the dude was literally holding a ruler up to the screen to see how the image would fit his layout *sigh Jul 25 06 02:15 am Link "just ignore that huge erection in my pants, that happens at all my shoots" Jul 25 06 02:17 am Link Lapis wrote: shhhhhhhhh damn you give away all my secrets!!! geesh!!!!!!!!! Jul 25 06 02:21 am Link When doing real estate headshots with a real stiff... "OK, now look at me like you really give a shit about what I'm saying" That didn't go over well...

Wait a sec, you're talkin' "toos" Jul 25 06 02:22 am Link A bikini is by definition a 2-piece swimsuit, ergo the monokini... BTW, how do guys go in public in one of those tiny things? I'm not particularly big and if I try to go out in a speedo or something like it I will be sticking out of the swimsuit all day...

Model: "You @ss hole!" Me: "I meant your back!" Model: "Shut up and take the damn picture" almost in tears and laughing. Response to a casting call: "Sorry.. can't use you.. you're too ugly" (Model is stunning and has a sense of humor. Latest in my port). Jul 25 06 04:08 am Link When I was posing for a fellow student for her figure study stuff. . . "Can you make it bigger?" Ouch Jul 25 06 12:37 pm Link Chip Morton wrote: The correct response (and the one you never think of until too late), Jul 25 06 12:40 pm Link I was shooting a fashion shot in Boston near one of the fountains. It was a rather windy day and I see that the wind is blowing some of the water spray to the side. She was obviously zoning at the moment because I asked her, "Are you getting wet?" and she responds.... "Huh? What? I mean...escuse me!? Looking at me horrified so I start pointing at the fountain next her spraying water. She then says.... "Oh!, oops, sorry. I thought you meant...." yeah, I knew what you thought. Jul 25 06 12:57 pm Link I use to work for a major department store.One of the models was doing a pantie shot she comes out look at my big camel toe.I wanted to say something but had to keep my mouth shut all the corpert rules..It was a very nice camel toe had to say. Jul 25 06 01:00 pm Link I did a nude shot of this girl other day.I wet her chest down way it was lite had a shine to it.The model says i am not even going to say what that looks like.I said oh come on.She said looks like someone took a jizz on me and rubbed it in.I was like damn stop that your killing me. Jul 25 06 01:06 pm Link "corpert rules"? Seems there are a lot of words missing from here because it doesn't make sense...

One of the models let me borrow her skirt (which i was in love with) and me and the photographer were getting ready to shoot. I whisper to the other model "OMG, im so excited" They both turn and stare as i tried to explain....i didnt mean it THAT way  Jul 25 06 02:24 pm Link wasnt quite something i said, more like something i did, got to a great shoot for a magazine, went to say hello when i shook the photogs hand and let out the biggest belch ever.....luckily he thought it was hysterical and actually had to sit down he was laughing so hard.....now when i shoot with him he refers to me as uber belch Jul 25 06 04:13 pm Link I was shooting nudes indoors and it got seriously hot under the lights. I offered her something to drink and she asked if I had any apple juice that wasn't too sweet. All I had were these juice box things that my son is addicted to, grabbed her one out of the fridge, and after she'd had a few sips of it I asked... "So, how does your juice box taste?" Hilarity ensued. Jul 25 06 04:22 pm Link oldguysrule wrote: How about...." Damn, I thought my boner would hold up my pants, but guess what!!" Jul 25 06 04:26 pm Link On a shoot without a MUA: Me (looking at model's face): So, I think you should go ahead and do your make-up. Model: I already put on make-up! What are you saying? Me: Oh, nothing. Jul 25 06 04:33 pm Link Ok, so this wasn't on a shoot but about one. The night before it my wife and I were out to dinner and she suddenly changes topics and says: "So are you going to take this guy down in the basement and shoot him?" Got the strangest looks from the people in the next booth, but we both had a good laugh about it. Jul 25 06 04:34 pm Link "can you see my tampon string?" ...well that wasn't going to be the focus of the picture, but NOW it is!  Jul 25 06 04:43 pm Link Starview Studio wrote: LMFAO!!!

These situations aren't anything I said, but are what the model said to me - and either could have been the sterotypical GWC moment. Both happened back in my film days: I was shooting nude figure in studio. I'm up on a ladder, the model's lying on the floor, my assistant hands me the camera. I fire off a frame, wind, fire another frame, wind.....something's not right. I look a bit closer and realize - there's no film in the camera! I looked at the model and said "Ummm....there's no film in the camera." She looks bewildered, then starts laughing - not at the fact the camera's not loaded, but the look on my face. She said, and I quote: "You looked like a dog about to get a bath..." It was a simple mistake - my assistant thought I loaded the camera; I thought she had loaded the camera. Another time, I was shooting nudes with the Holga. The model was a pro, and had never done nude work but liked my work well enough she modeled for me on the condition of anonymity. I knew this model's fashion and commercial work, so this was something I took as a great compliment. However, I didn't take the time to explain to her what the Holga was. When she saw it, a puzzled look came across her face. I raised the camera and pressed the shutter; for those of you not familiar with the Holga, the shutter makes a funny "springy-boing" noise. Then winding the film makes a cheap plastic grinding noise. It was for this reason that I saved my Holga work with nudes for the end of the studio sessions: she stared at the camera, then looked at me and burst into laughter. "Oh my God.....are you serious????" she asked as she scurried back into her robe.... Jul 25 06 05:31 pm Link From last night: Me: (Referenceing a pose) "Like this?" Photographer: "Yeah. Okay, now... suck." Meaning straighten up and suck in my stomach. Oh, and me to the other model who was holding the fan: "Come on, blow me." Jul 26 06 05:35 pm Link while shooting at model on a hot day, in a tree lined area covered in bugs... Photog - "You should go rub off in my car" Model - "I haven't had to rub off in years" She had a straight face the whole time, until I turned bright red... Then she bust out laughing... I explained I have OFF bug spray in the car... Jul 27 06 11:26 am Link can I use your underwear to clean my lens ? Jul 27 06 12:06 pm Link |
