Who's the biggest jerk here?
Probably me, but whoever beats me wins... Here's the question: Name one unprofessional thing you've done as a photographer, model, slylist, or MUA NOTE: I said unprofessional, not creepy. But if you wanna tell us your creepy story I think we're all ears I'll go first. A few years ago I offered a model a paid shoot. Of course, it was probably after midnight when my judgement wasn't the best. All was well and things were all set when I decided to look at her photos one last time. And DIOS MIO! Upon further inspection of her photos I was like, "What was I thinking?!" So I made up a lie to get out of the shoot. Your turn. Have fun. Sep 30 06 08:26 pm Link I started commenting in the forums at MM? Sep 30 06 08:31 pm Link I can't wait to read what people write, I haven't been in the industry long enough to comment for myself. So I'll just bump it. Sep 30 06 08:32 pm Link I befriended Haddy. Took to calling him sugar tits and ass cakes, and now he wants me to have sex with him in perverse ways using odd things. Sep 30 06 08:33 pm Link just checkin to see if my name was brought up, whew, I can relax for now Sep 30 06 08:43 pm Link Hmm...dunno-I try not to get into situations. Had one model that was kinda cute, Bit heavy and desperatly wanting nudes. So I go out of the room to get a few things and come back-she's laying on my bed spread eagled and saying "Let's do it on camera!". Well-she wasn't THAT cute. Had a bush with more hair than three buffalo-I could hear chimps hollering down there and swear I saw a giraffe pop it's noggin up. I went to the other room and called the house phone from my computer then made like I was being called into work on an emergency. Only other thing was shooting two girls that had the hots for each other and were getting carroed away. I ran out of film and didn't bother telling them for an hour. Sep 30 06 09:23 pm Link Definately reading this post, man... Sep 30 06 09:30 pm Link I held a models photographs extra long because she was a stuck up Biznitch.. Sep 30 06 09:31 pm Link U have 2 ASK!? Biggest, longest, strongest, and SLAMMIN'est!! That'd be ME. Wurst thing I ever done (other than try to bring some much-needed CLASS to this place) was one time I was adjusting a model's BRA and her B(o)(o)bies popped out into my hand and I sqeezed 'em before I even realized what was happening. It was a total acciden but I was totally like red-faced. GWC! Sep 30 06 09:32 pm Link I think it would really top all IF... You were dealing with a real shitmuffin of a model and agreed to shoot way out in the desert at some semi-specific location maybe some 3 hour drive and when the model arrived you asked him/her to phone you to touch base only to have you say...sorry I cancelled because of this great game that's on. Or something like that. Sep 30 06 09:37 pm Link I had one of my lights almost fall on a model... LOL!! I quickly dove like a football player and caught it while she was laying on the floor posing....and I almost landed on top of her hahahahahaha... LOL!

Sep 30 06 10:00 pm Link I once posted honestly about something unprofessional I did, and got ripped to shreds by photographers who took it upon themselves to maintain the high standards of the profession ( Sep 30 06 10:02 pm Link Libby Glanzer wrote: Hell,this is my first post,and I'm kinda a noob(err.getting back into this)photographer as well,so I guess this is a good guide of what not to do. Sep 30 06 10:03 pm Link I'm still working on being unprofessional and offensive. I haven't pissed off NEARLY enough people yet. It's rather unfortunate. I'm just too affable to even be really creepy. I can be kinda creepy. But not really creepy ... Maybe I need to ask more models to rub Vaseline on my nipples during a shoot.

I'll honestly answer any honest question... and even if you meant the question as a joke I'll probably answer it honestly and not hold back.

You guys are loosing your touch. Oct 01 06 04:23 am Link It's not my fault. It fell in. I wasn't trying. Actually I'm an angel. My farts smell like roses.

At least you didn't send me a peace email and then come back on and slam me like someone else here. I don't use toys, I don't need them. Oct 01 06 06:21 am Link Probably the "worst" was pursuing an intimate personal relationship with someone I shot as a model at the beginning of it. (The pursuit was definitely mutual from day one & she remains to this day 4 years later possibly my closest friend and certainly my greatest creative collaborator and we still shoot together semi-regularly. As a matter of fact I am sitting in her living room right this minute, responding to this thread from her computer). Other than that I probably love to chimp too much and I sometimes don't do model releases for casual/unpaid test shoots. Nothing especially creepy, though: sorry  Oct 01 06 06:27 am Link Hadyn Lassiter wrote: What? I thought you liked my weather updates. Oct 01 06 07:02 am Link Oh, lets see... Okay... I shot a particular model, very pretty, I thought we'd have a great shoot and would get some fantastic images. Unfortunately that was not the case. Everything on my part, photographically, was good. But her... Her facial expressions and posing was awful. No matter how hard I tried to direct her, she just was not giving it to me. Well, come down to editing, retouching I didn't know what the hell to do with these photos. I hated looking at 'em. I tried everything in photoshop trying to make this model look better. I don't like handing over work I'm not happy with. I offered a re-shoot, but she didn't take me up on it. So, I'm left with this shoot racking my brain of how I can tweak 'em. Finally, I got so frustrated I come to the realization I'm no plastic surgeon, or magician. She looks how she looks. I made excuse after excuse why they weren't done yet. I felt weird telling her the problem was her look. So, after promising the disc in two weeks, it took me two months to mail it to her. I guess, that's probably the worse thing I've done. I worked in a studio here in Detroit. Very nice studio. Bitchy/arrogant/pain in the ass owner, though. The owner come in one afternoon doing her usual nit picky inspection, bitching about this, that, whatever. Well, she was pissing me off to where it was becoming next to impossible to bite my tongue. So, I told her I was going out for a smoke. I was sitting outside smoking my cigarette and said to myself, 'fuck this. I'm outta' here'. So, I got in my car and left. Leaving the owner there at the studio to run things herself. She was so pissed off. I got home a couple hours later, listened to my voicemail. She was screaming in the phone, "Jodie, where the hell are you? I have noone to cover the studio. I can't stay here, I need to be somewhere... You need to get back here!". Well, I never went back. I quit. I couldn't stand that bitch. EDIT: Oh yeah... And I use to take film from the studio. Yes, I'd steal film. Back in the storage room, there were boxes and boxes and boxes of film. When I needed film, I get it out storage. Never had to pay for film. Or developing. In the back of the studio, there was a lab. I'd go in early and develop my film. We weren't supposed to do that. Oh well... Hey! They weren't paying me enough!!! Lol.. *shrugs* Oct 01 06 08:17 am Link Hell, this one is easy, had a patron of a Club push me causing me to fall into another photographer actually Shoot Shoot of MM. I then proceeded to break a few ribs with my elbow. I am not so sure I think that is something I am ashamed of. Discourteous people need to be put in their place. This guy had the balls to tell me I was in his way. Oh this was last Friday night. Oct 01 06 08:54 am Link GRHorn wrote: You broke Shoot Shoot's ribs or some one elses? Oct 01 06 08:58 am Link If you had a friend that was a photographer and this friend was prone to sexual indescretions with shoes and sometimes this friend would leave indescreet material in the shoes and the shoes sometimes belonged to models and the models weren't told about the leavings.... would that count.

If I promise not to bring my friend, can I stay at your place when I visit NYC. We could shoot all day and we could shoot all night. Your apartment could become our "Yellow House" of art experimentation and lo... uh, nevermind. Oct 01 06 09:36 am Link lol... Behave now, it is S-U-N-D_A-Y ya know!
