Humorous&why I hate models at times...
Shoot.. 3 days ago... (Keep in mind, I'm standing about 10 feet away from the model and we're talking fairly loud in the client's shooting area.) Me: "Okay.. I need you to sit on the edge of the laise and have your knees towards me. Your left leg should be a little higher than your right leg and both should be at a slight angle out from the seat." Her: "Hmmm... I don't get it." Me: "Okay.. see how you're sitting? Now face me... right.. now turn your hips to your left... no.. your other left..." Her: "Shut up" Me: "Now keeping your knees together, push them right up against the side of the chair. Good. Now let your right leg relax and and move your right foot away from the chair. Remember, I'm tring to emphasize your legs." Her: "Like this?" Me: "Kinda" Her: "Can you show me?" Me: *sigh* At this point she runs over to me at the camera so "she can get a view" of what the look is... I take a seat and hit the pose. Me: "And your hands will be slightly overlapping on your mid thigh like this" Her: "What about my face?" Me: "Well you're going to be looking off to the right like this..." *CLICK* Me: "What was that?" Her: "Nothing" and snickering like a fox in a sheep herd. Me: "Did you take a picture??" Her: "No" vaguely trying to keep her laughter in. Me: "If I come over there and see a new picture .. I'm gonna add 20 lbs to your pictures in photoshop" Her: "But you look sooooooo cute and soooooo sophisticated!!" Client comes by... Client: "How goes it?" Her: "Great! take a look at this!!" Me: "NO!" starting to scramble to the camera Client and Her... *PISSING THEMSELVES LAUGHING* Client: "Need to show more skin" Me: "I hate my job and I hate both of you." -PKD Sep 16 06 09:50 pm Link Lol...I like that you actually found that funny...way too many people would've gotten pissed off about that  Sep 16 06 09:52 pm Link That's what you get for falling for her trickery.  Sep 16 06 09:52 pm Link Thanks, I needed that..... LOL. Will you be posting that image??? would like to comment Sep 16 06 09:53 pm Link jac3950 wrote: Ummm... HELL NO!

With my luck you'd have it somehow made as the MM banner Sep 16 06 09:56 pm Link Lola Keziah wrote: Hmm.. I'm 5'8" tall.. I have a perfectly bowling ball shaped belly wearing jeans and a golf shirt... now imagine that look in a pose as described above.. Sep 16 06 09:57 pm Link Kaitlin Lara wrote: *snicker* Sep 16 06 09:58 pm Link Never, EVER, under any circumstance, ever ever ever step in front of your own camera while someone is near the launch button, pictures will get taken. . . belly laughs will be heard. However, funny story, glad your client was humored by it. Cheers, Leo Sep 16 06 10:00 pm Link jac3950 wrote: Nah.. life is too short to stress over stuff like that. I always have a fun time with the models I work with which is why I keep getting referals. I was laughing in this situation.. it was pretty funny. Sep 16 06 10:01 pm Link I want to see too ... you are a tease. Sep 16 06 10:02 pm Link Great story Paul. One more reason you are so well liked. Craig Sep 16 06 10:02 pm Link I did that to my assistant once. I had him demonstrate a pose that he knew, that the model wasn't getting. I snapped the shot :-) Sep 16 06 10:06 pm Link Not showing me as the muse.... but you guys can look at this (from the same shoot). I title it.... "Don't touch pose boobs!"  -PKD Sep 16 06 10:06 pm Link so.... Just add modeling fee to your photography invoice! Sep 16 06 10:08 pm Link Duncan wrote: hahaha! Sep 16 06 10:09 pm Link I feel for you. I have regrets in talking my MUA into getting a Nikon D50. I'm certain I was setup when our model asked me to show her some poses and next thing I know, the MUA is taking photos. I hate her. You'll need to ask her for the photos though. I checked her MySpace and they aren't up anymore. Sep 16 06 10:14 pm Link cmon , that was funny ... thats what makes our jobs fun ... its ok , im sure there are worse pictures of you somwhere .... post it so we can see ... Sep 16 06 10:24 pm Link that'll learn ya next time demonstrate the pose from behind the camera. thanks what I do, i get the laugh but no record  Sep 16 06 10:42 pm Link See - ya almost gotta show it now. Otherwise some sharp types will be posting their "Dramatic Re-Creations" of the event. And that would be about a MILLION times worse than the reality. (Hint - the emergency fall back position - "I accidently erased that card - sorry guys") Thanks so much for the chuckle - when I demonstrate poses - I usually end up falling off the boulders - and that keeps the models in a good mood and then, I shoot a lot of "God, you're a dumbass!" expressions for some reason . . . .

That's it! and then, I shoot a lot of "God, you're a dumbass!" expressions for some reason . . . You have no idea how many raised eyebrows with scrunched up nose bridges I have when I say something goofy and I get that "What the fu..." look. Sep 16 06 11:09 pm Link That is way funny!! Thanks for telling and yes, I vote YES for you posting that shot. I love it when I get to work with someone with a great sense of humor. Great story! ak Sep 17 06 10:36 am Link PK Digital Imaging wrote: post it, models have done it to me too, you post yours. i'll post mine Sep 17 06 10:40 am Link That's what you get for using a tripod. Sep 17 06 11:43 am Link ya , but why did you have to wear the pink lingerie to show the pose? Something doesnt add up here... Sep 17 06 02:45 pm Link |
