Imaging i reciving refferam from OMP, from photographer who register there, first email " You look stunning . What your rates" i replay second email " Yes rates to high for me now and i usaly work only 1 hour 1.5 with model, but i can think of something to pull full 3 hours , some of models agree on massage after photo session so if you interesting let me know " OK i am new i am kind stupid in English ( yes i am my friend helping me, thank you him a lot) but what the hell massage have to do with model business and if he cant pay me for full 3 hours modeling , how he gone pay me fo massage ??? Do i missing something, he just make me mad so i didnt replay nothing yet. Sep 12 06 08:23 pm Link Ok more to this post actualy i just recieve another email when he say massage he meant he will massage me for time i will pose for him How about this Sep 12 06 08:30 pm Link Models and photographers alike have to filter out the phonies. That's part of what the exchanged emails and messages are for. Sep 12 06 08:30 pm Link um, no. Don't reply to that one. Sep 12 06 08:31 pm Link I think he may be asking you to barter time for sexual favors; like he's offering to give you massage in exchange for modeling time. If I were you I would avoid this particular photographer. Because you mention nude and adult areas of interest this may make him think you'd be open to such things. I suggest you only work with good, professional photographers. -P- Sep 12 06 08:32 pm Link Don't shoot with him!!! That's so creepy. You are way too cute to work with jerks like that. Sep 12 06 08:32 pm Link Rabbit86 wrote: That could be considered barter- massage for posing- but no, I still think you should say no to that one. Sep 12 06 08:33 pm Link He's offering to compensate you with a massage? LOL. Please forgive me for being blunt, but it sounds like this "photographer" wants to get into something alright, but it ain't a photo session...if ya know what I mean. This sounds like some of those Craigslist ads...(not to knock Craigslist or anything, because you CAN find some decent gigs on there). Sep 12 06 08:33 pm Link Bizzare. Reason #1 why there's block / ban lists in email programs.... Awesome work on your portfolio btw...wild... literally. Sep 12 06 08:34 pm Link Hey thank you all for replay i didnt agree on session from very begining i just tough i share with MM community and see if you my colleges think the same way i do and feel about this kind offers. Sep 12 06 08:36 pm Link e-string wrote: Thank you e-string for too cute comment kisses Sep 12 06 08:37 pm Link Rabbit86 wrote: Avoid them -- and I'm guessing you'll run into these "offers" again. When working with someone you don't know I suggest you ask for and follow up on references and have a preshoot meeting. At least this guy let you know early on what he's about. Sep 12 06 08:39 pm Link Rabbit86 wrote: Where are you from? Sep 12 06 08:39 pm Link What're you saying, only ugly girls should work with jerks? e-string wrote: Sep 12 06 08:42 pm Link I would take an offer of massage for pictures, as a photographer. 5 1-hour sessions for one photoshoot (rate works out about right). Any taker? LMT rocks!

Sep 12 06 08:48 pm Link Rabbit86 wrote: And I'd be very happy to take them ! And I don't barter for massage either! Again, I wish you the very best for your modeling; I'm sure you'll do well! Sep 12 06 08:52 pm Link Rabbit86 wrote: And likes costumes, too. Sep 12 06 08:55 pm Link Pat Thielen wrote: Let's do it! heehee. And I'LL barter for massage with her. No cameras allowed for that part, however. Sep 12 06 08:55 pm Link Thats gross, That literally makes me sick that this phtographer would even insinuate that, that is not at ALL professional and there is no need for that to happen at all. I say you save that email in case he ever tries anythign again and DO NOT reply. What a creep.. Sep 12 06 08:56 pm Link e-string wrote: Well, you know I'm not really a "glam" photographer anyway. It'd be something interesting and differant. And trust me; no-one wants to get a massage from me. I'm really not very good at that sort of thing. Sep 12 06 08:59 pm Link Angelica Perry wrote: Agreed. People like this makes everyone look bad, and you know he doesn't represent the majority of photographers. Still, it only takes one. And just because the OP has listed her interests as nude and some adult work this in no way implies she's interested in exchanging massage (or whatever else) for her time. Personally I'd love to work with her; she sounds very uninhibited and creative which are awesome qualities for a model to have. It's just very unfortunate some people think that because of this she's also open to "other" forms of barter. This is indeed pathetic...

Usually they are very comfortable with nudity -- or they wouldn't be modeling nude in the first place. These are the people I like working with most as they are the most natural and uninhibited (whether we're shooting clothed photos or not). I don't ask models to adapt "adult" poses or anything like that, but I do prefer them to be natural and uninhibited. I'd encourage you to keep doing what you're doing and be a muse for the people you model for. If ever you find yourself in Minnesota let me (and E-String) know !

Sep 12 06 09:18 pm Link Many of the photographers here work other jobs. It is possible that he is a licensed masseuse. If he were bartering to paint your house you probably wouldn't bat an eye. That being said, be cautious and check references. Sep 12 06 09:19 pm Link Rabbit86 wrote: That means I'm very sad that you are so far away from me, so we can't shoot. Sep 12 06 09:20 pm Link markcomp wrote: Thanks -- this is actually a very good point. I was very quick to assume the photographer meant "no good" as did a few others. I have to remember to respond to facts and not emotions... Do'h! Sep 12 06 09:22 pm Link markcomp wrote: Perhaps, but I'm up to level II Reikii, but I'd never suggest it to a model. I'd toss in an offer to build her a website, though - that is what I do as far as my daytime job - but there's something that logic and reasonable behaviour would dictate a massage or something of that personal or intimate nature is inappropriate to bring up as a "in leau of payment". Sep 12 06 09:24 pm Link Pat Thielen wrote: Well, I guess I respond from the standpoint of having a number of clients who do physical therapy for a living. I get a massage once a week and it really is an honorable job that is worthy of barter. lol Sep 12 06 09:25 pm Link Enter this thread for a Clio Award.
