Its not so much a DONT read it.
It is a CANT read it.

It is very difficult to comprehend what you wrote when all the words mash into one another as they do.
Your words would have FAR more of an impact if we didnt have to struggle to understand what you wrote before we even got to the why you wrote it.

If you are going to communicate with words then it is a good idea to make sure that the words you write can be understood. If you do not use any form of structure it shows that you mind has no structure and you dont really care about putting your ideas across concisely.

I have dyslexia and I seem to do ok. So there is no excuse for what you are doing.

Thanks fluffytek i am not good at spelling and putting words together in writing have not been for years my bad on that. I am sorry to everyone if they cannot understand what i am saying, People here tend to bash everyone on thier grammer more than the work that they do. I have had a few bad experences with a few girls who said they were models but were not, Then to see most of the girls here asking to get paid well i just did not understand why the photographer has to pay the model unless he or she wants to i allways thought the photographer creates the end product ie photos.

What we have here is "ego clash"....

We are in an ego driven business. Starting out photographers are all "nice" guys. Then at some point they make it into the "big time"......whoa! Out comes the ego! Now these same "nice guys" turn into monsters. All controlling, all knowing, all me, me, me monsters.

Just to be fair models are pretty much the same. Beginners just can't thank you enough for doing all that "beautiful work". Then comes the "big assignment" and all of a sudden that sweet, pretty young girl turns into "the bitch diva" full of demands, controls and fees that will make you shudder.

Either you put up with it or find another line of work. This happens with regularity. I don't worry about it. Then again that's why I like what I do. 90% everything else, 10% models.

POINT ONE
1

I am so confused by the way ''so called'' ''models'' ... are asking for 'paid assignments'

For some odd reason theY do not understand what that means.
They think that it means everyone who wants images of theM pays and then they THEMSELVES get all rights to the images.

What IDIOT tells thease girls this shit?? I just don't get this


POINT TWO
2

The photographer is the most important person on set
Matter of fact .. models you so can be replaced !!

A person with skills behind the camera is way harder to find than a girl who looks good with a body.


ADVICE

If you want to get ahead in the business then pay to get work done
stop asking to get paid
Most models (and i mean the real ones) did not get paid when they started out
So what makes you so special that you can say
''Pay me for my time''

Well, i mean, no one wants to do something for nothing, true...


NOT AWARE THERE ARE DIFFERENT CONTRACTS

But understand, when you ask for money you will have no rights to the images at all
All you have to do is take the cash and 'bingo' all rights have been given to the photographer.


ASSESSMENT OF LOCATION

This is a two way street.


OPINION

A photographers time is worth way more than yours ever will be - period.

No photographer = no images
Look at it that way.

AND ''Something that ought to have been at the top?''

This is onlY directed to the girls who want cash AND THEN ... use the images for thier ports and sell them on thEir PAY sites.''

Thanks.
It was still a little confusing.

I guess he's saying that all paid models suck and don't know what they're doing, maybe just because he's not very good at communicating or choosing the right model for the job and that's all he's experienced, and that he is the shit and everyone should pretty much worship him.  And give him money.

Umm i am no way the shit dand udor spanks my ASS in images and none of the girls i have on here did i ever have a problem with. Like i said the ones who when PHOTOGRAPHERS ask to do work of say gimmie money or leave me alone responce are the girls i have an issue with. I fail to see why and this is my opinion we shoot you give you images and it is our vission that creates the end result. So that in some of the girls eyes they get all rights to the images to do with as they please after being paid. Allot of girls on this site should not even be here they should be represented by New Yorks finest agency and some of the photographers here are damn good and i mean goddly good. But like i have been told most people here are here to get tfp/tfcd ok sorry for assumeing otherwise. And i do not expect people to worship anyone gee wiz ok i have issues and who dose not......

I'm not sure if most people are here to get tfp/tfcd.
There are a lot of photographers who generally only accept paid work.
And there are a lot of models who generally only accept paid work.
I don't see what your deal is.
My bio says "paid work only" twice.  Sometimes I get messages from photographers asking me if I'd like to work with them, without telling me if it's paid or tfp/tfcd, and my reply includes "is this paid or tfp/tfcd?"  I usually don't do tfp/tfcd, and tell those people "no thanks."
Do mostly do TFP?
If not, why do you expect all models to?
Are we supposed to all pay you?
