Where do sluggos come up with this cr...
People really do never cease to amaze me! I've been doing shoots for a couple of years now, but my location and college responsibilities have prevented me from approaching agencies so that I can start actually working. Does that mean I'm going to start demanding paid jobs only from others? HELL NO!! The day I start refusing TFP better be the day that I've reached the stardom of Alessandra or Heidi!! And as far as the OP, that girl is ridiculous! It's entirely unnecessary to require approval of shots before they can be used. If there's a type of image she doesn't want getting out there, the simple thing to do is not shoot that type of image! Wake up and smell the stupidity people.

I would have a rule against talking to models with internet managers... Oct 11 06 05:51 pm Link If the model is going to work via a manager, then he/she should work via a manager. If the model is going to work directly with the photographer, then she/he should do so. Double teaming the client is a bad business tactic. It is only done by those who have no sense of fairness in their business dealings. In the future, this model should have the manager handle all details, or toss him. Given his bad advice, tossing him would be best. Anyone over the age of 18 on this site should be handling their own correspondence 100%, or state clearly they use a manager - and then use them. As for approval of shots from a paid shoot, no. The contract/release can have prohibitions to enforce limits (to prevent that GWC grabbed shot while the model is changing for example) but approving the quality and content is absurd.

He just put it much better Oct 11 06 05:59 pm Link I agree, that's no manager, it's a boyfriend. A really stupid, sabotaging-his-girlfriend's-career boyfriend, who would probably insist on escorting her to the shoot, ruin any chance of the shots working, and then try to take his own pics over your shoulder while suggesting poses. Sigh. Oct 11 06 10:45 pm Link Pat Thielen wrote: That seems to be their main function. Oct 11 06 11:29 pm Link Kali Doom wrote: Thanks girlfren... it's what I do... and where I make the REAL bucks...
