most models = brain dead
Shouldnt have vented here, my apologizes Aug 27 06 01:58 am Link for ur info, she is not on modelmayhem so im not callin out names.. just look at the quality of the photos... Aug 27 06 01:59 am Link whuh? Aug 27 06 02:00 am Link And this is going to help you find more models to work with HOW? Aug 27 06 02:01 am Link what do u mean huh? Aug 27 06 02:01 am Link first of all, you might consider taking those down if she's an MM member. slander and what not. second of all, i firmly resent being prejudiced because of my line of work. i am an art history major at UCLA. we arent brain dead; its just that... who doesnt like hearing "oh, youre perfect, we'll use you in our ads"? it sounds too good to be true, and sometimes it is, but let us live the dream! youre gonna get a lot of smart, angry models posting on here. basically things fell through with one model; time to move on and find someone else. theres certainly no shortage. Aug 27 06 02:01 am Link Yes most models are brain dead.  I am entering my third year of college  and first year as an RA because I have no brain. Maybe that one model is not smart...but rash generalizations aren't smart either ya jackass. Aug 27 06 02:01 am Link that was harsh dude ! maybe you should back off a little. maybe she did a test; maybe you dont have the whole story. she may just decided no more TFP ; that all. we have a people here who get harsh, but save it for the political rants. I think you are pissed because she does NOT shoot with you. Aug 27 06 02:02 am Link these are great photos ....for myspace Aug 27 06 02:02 am Link yikes, dude. i'm having a hard time finding any functioning grey matter between your ears here, too. Aug 27 06 02:03 am Link brain dead apparently runs on both sides of the lens... Aug 27 06 02:04 am Link The Don Mon wrote: AHAHAHHAA genius. you made my day. Aug 27 06 02:04 am Link drool... Aug 27 06 02:04 am Link My goal is not to find 1000 models to work with me my friend. My goal is to create art. When you are really hungry any food put infront of you will look good. Im not hungry right now, i pick and choose my models. Its just a hobby. My point is: I like basketball. If i got a call tomorrow saying i made the raptors starting line up, i would think somone is pulling my leg. Yet when "models" meet a "photographer" on mm they believe anything they say. How can you truely believe a photo of that quality can be used for a major ad campaign? Aug 27 06 02:05 am Link ChrisHughes wrote: Here's what I don't get: Why would you waste three months talking to a model about TFP? And when she turns you down you post the pictures she sent you. Granted, these are hardly ad campaign quality images, but why do you care? Why not simply move on and not waste so much time and energy on a model who doesn't want to work with you? If I don't get positive responses and a meeting set up with a new model within a couple weeks I move on. There is always another person to work with... Aug 27 06 02:05 am Link I'de like to make a comment on this. I find sometimes photographers get mad about this type of thing, and although I do understand where they are coming from I also think that it should be kept in mind that most models are young women or girls, and still figuring out what they are about and how to do business properly...they are older teenagers mostly, maybe 18 -22, 23...and the average photographer tends to be older and more experienced in life...there will of course be some stupid blunders along the way..growing pains..but somtimes I think it's good to keep that in mind when one gets frustrated. I am not making excuses for ridiculous behaviour, I just think that age may play a factor. And on the flipside I have also met a few ridiculously smart models,young or old...which i am always overjoyed to become aquainted with and learn from how they have develped their careers. That's just my 2 cents, have a good night Laurie Aug 27 06 02:06 am Link im not wasting 3 months talking to the model. She is merely on my msn for 3 months. I dont search for models..... Aug 27 06 02:06 am Link Once again, the point of this thread is: Why do models believe everything they hear from a "photographer". Doesnt common sense kick in at some point? Aug 27 06 02:07 am Link How do you know those photos aren't being used for a condom ad? Some advertisement photos are pretty crappy. Haven't you ever looked at packaging in drugstores? Or looked in newspapers? Maybe American Apparel is starting a condom line. Anyway, you're pretty much a douche. Aug 27 06 02:08 am Link uh, you said "ive been talking to one model for three months about tfp". i think thats an exact quote. cut your losses, move on, and consider posting a little apology to saying that "almost every model on this site is brain dead".

Aug 27 06 02:10 am Link ChrisHughes wrote: I believe you've been talking to this model for three months about TFP but you haven't. Aug 27 06 02:11 am Link "missing fingers product" is the first person that understands... the photographer lied about an add campaign and the brain dead model believed.

You must be really a really smart guy to insult all models on a modeling site! Good Job! Aug 27 06 02:13 am Link Bottom line models..... dont believe everything you hear. Be realistic with your goals. I know im not a great photographer, therefore if GQ or Vogue calls me tomorrow with a 4 million dollar contract I will take it at face value. Aug 27 06 02:14 am Link I am going to sit back and watch the women smoke you out. Aug 27 06 02:14 am Link Jessica - The Peach wrote: why does that song "back that ass up" come to mind...? Aug 27 06 02:14 am Link and im not insulting all models on this site, im saying the models i meet....

If you're trying to pry your foot out of your mouth, you should try something else.

I need to finish cleaning anyways. Aug 27 06 02:18 am Link stop stop stop! its time to lock this thread up. that dude made a huge mistake and insulted a pretty large crowd (not to mention his potential clients...), we've lashed back, now its up to him what to do with the info. i think what he was trying to say, if you look past the myriad of insults, is that make sure you check out scams and stuff. also, if that girl got PAID for those photos, who frickin cares if theyre an ad campaign or just some GWC having fun? we want to believe that everyone in this industry wants the best for us, but sadly, its almost the exact opposite. too many scams to count. we at least need to be able to rely on our MM community to support one another. and to know when to stop.
