Models aren't the only ones.  Here is an example from a photographer:

"I have been recognized as an up an coming talent in my area..."
then:
"I am open to critique from photographers and models alike. No matter how big you get you can always learn and improve. If you stop accepting criticism, then you will never improve and you will have the same cheesy style as you did in the 70s. So if I comment on your work and you don't like what I say, please don't send me nasty remarks. I give my opinion and you can make the choice to accept it or delete my comments. Don't patronize me by throwing your outdated credentials in my face. I respect other professionals and expect the same in return."

Now why would even put that in your profile? If no one has ever asked you that, why even bring it up? Is this the "I am so hot and you must want to fuck me" syndrome?

This is a perfect way to not get a job.

Gregg,

She approached me to do photos of her. We set up a date and time then she goes and tells me she's charging $500 for the session!! I laughed so hard my sides hurt and then hung up on her!

hi everyone...
I agree that it is a bit childish to have that on your site... but i have only had an account with mm for a few days and i've already been asked for sex... no lie, and i don't have an "i'm too hot syndrome" i got an email from ("josh tamor" ) sent directly to my personal email (this happened yesterday) he said that he didn't mean to be offensive but would i be interested in having some "adult fun" for the sum of $500 per hour with "no camera's involved"

and i qoute ..... so in reality it does happen...
i was a bit shocked and just replied with a no thanks...
so we don't have to be childish about the situation...
but just thought i'd tattle on my little experience......

p.s. this is a very true  story i can forward the email... i'm not being stuck on myself as some blogs have implied on this subject...
hope i didn't offend anyone either

He must be confused.  He thinks he is on an "adult website"!!

Holy crap.  It's only about 9:00 here and I think this is probably the funniest thing I'll see all day.

You don't think with her cam pics and cheesy runway images and radio promotion backdrop images she is worth $500 for the shoot? Plus, you have the honor of being cussed out by her!

Sounds like someone has gotten ahold of her and convinced her she is the next big thing. (And the poor guy probably didn't get to have sex with her.)

This thing gets better every minute.

Don't ask to have sex with us in exchange for pictures and stuff ha ha ha, that probably happens more then photographers asking models to sleep with them.

You might be surprised. There are a lot of sleazy guys with cameras in this world, and some of them get in a lot of practice. A vast number of male photographers have sex with models, the precise configuration of the arrangement aside. It's mostly the amateur bunch, or at least the less talented tier. But it happens everywhere.

As a professional photographer, I don't even want to hear about nudity. A real photographer expects a model to be there for the PICTURES ... even crazy-ass Janice Dickinson understands that, and even Kate Moss is topless almost everywhere, and they're all naked off-camera anyway half the time. And you should see how the photographers are dressed ;D

Unprofessional photographers spend all their time convincing models to get naked, and the ones who actually care about the pictures find models who understand the concept of modeling. So here's my advice to all the ladies out there: "DO NAKED PICTURES BUT DON'T DO SLEAZY PICTURES!" especially sleazy pictures with clothes ON. I see all these slutty pictures in profiles of models who say "NO NUDES" but then their pictures make them look like total whores. And then you see Kate topless for the millionth time, and you realize the difference between pros and pervs is not just about nudity.

That's my two cents, anyway.

Well...I'd prefer a photographer not ask me for sex, also....but I don't think I'd put it on my profile.

Hehe I don't know but I dare you Anyway I love it, what is she thinking? Gotta love the models that have made it to A status in their heads and not in their actual careers. Always a very positive sign!

Since I woke up this morning I've been listening to Belle and Sebastian. Specifically the "If You're Feeling Sinister" album. I suppose it's showing. Ah well... First day of September and it's warmer and sunnier than most of August in beautiful downtown Zagreb and the town is packed with everybody returning from Summer holidays. The season officially begins in earnest Monday. :-)

She also lists "professional" and "very experienced." Her entire profile is spelled out in AOL chat room slang. This is professional? And, to be blunt, the pics are crappy quality and not that "hott."

It just gets better and better.

Who is this chick?  I really wanna know.

Yeah. I have to start lying on my portfolio more. Put credits on there that are not real and such.

Well, I've been amazed at some people with whom I've talked who seem to assume that my NOT being a full-time professional photographer, coupled with the fact that I have shot some nudes, means I'm a GWC.  Worse still were the "models" who apparently actually have a side business that's not as legitimate as modeling who assume I'm part of the market for their "product." 

I'm not.  I'm interested in making some images that will cause people to admire my ability with a camera and/or Photoshop.  There are plenty of places to find the other stuff.  Decent models are much harder to locate.  (Well, at least for me, apparently.)
