Please..
Photographers: If you're going to cancel on a model (repeatedly) please, please please don't complain about no shows in the SAME email. Its annoying, and the end result will be that you will chase off the model you are seeking! Thanks! That is all. Nov 16 06 10:27 am Link No shows and cancellations are a serious problem,if you gave more info on the situation it would help. Nov 16 06 01:07 pm Link There really isn't much more that needs to be detailed. I dealt with a photographer attempting to arrange a shoot. He cancelled on me, and in the very next paragraph went on to moan and complain about the fact that he's had so many models cancelling on him. It REALLY was rude and poor business form. One would think that would be common sense, but again that has proved to be not so common. How would you feel if I approached you to shoot, I cancel not once but twice, and then proceed to complain about how bad it is to try to set up shoots because I've had so many cancellations? Make more sense? Nov 16 06 07:09 pm Link Was it a 2 model shoot, that would make sense. RB Nov 16 06 07:11 pm Link No, just a shoot with me. Nobody else. :-/ Nov 16 06 07:12 pm Link Maybe he wanted to change the subject and blame models that he [may] have had cancel on him to make himself look better.

However, it was the constant whining about models cancelling that really finally ticked me off enough to say forget it. Thats why I bothered rescheduling, it was a paid shoot, and he did have valid reasions, he's in poor health. Again, just please don't complain to me about models cancelling when you're cancelling on me. Its just rude. I don't care about what other models do with you, to you or for you. Thats none of my business, nor is it my problem. Nov 17 06 09:02 am Link |
