Would somebody like to help me with a problem I have. I did a shoot about a month and a half ago and have still not seen a single photo or even gotten any of them back. Was wondering b/c I am not too experienced of a model yet, but I don't feel that it should take this long.

yes i have quite a few time at that

How busy is the photographer, I just shot my fifth sessions and hardly have time to edit and get pixs to the modeling agencies who are waiting for the prints!

Now I have a couple of days open so I can edit and print hopefully get everything done, the agency sent me another model she said, so if she calls, I'll be shooting again.  So more back up time :-(

Anyone in the midwest needs up dates to their comp or port, I work with a very talanted make up artist, she made the model today look so beautiful, wow, what eyes she did on her.

I just shot it so they won't be on my site for another couple of days, or tomorrow which ever comes first.  hhahh.

It could be anything. But one thing to remember -- most of us photographers are the sole proprietors of our business. And business comes in waves -- sometimes we have two weeks in a row with almost nothing to do, the next week we we're working from five in the morning until one a.m. It can be unpredictable.

And sometimes personal issues cause problems -- my father died last summer right after I did a few TFP shoots, and it hit me pretty hard -- it took me a couple of months to get some of the CDs out.

So sometimes there are good reasons, and sometimes the photographer is just lazy and irresponsible.

I've found that the models who stay in touch with the photographer on a regular basis and communicate well in a friendly way do best at getting their pictures on a consistent basis. Make it clear you're eager to see the pictures, but also be understanding. This combination is the best suggestion I can offer.

Finally, remember that you are now in a business. Much as we want our business to run 100% smoothly, every business learns that sometimes there are losses. Bad as it would be if you do all that work and not get the pictures, maybe you just need to move on and shoot with another photographer. Before you shoot, talk with other models who have worked with him and make sure he has a good reputation for prompt delivery. . .

What did you agree on at the time of the shoot?
