New Models Here's Some Advice
Nico Simon Princely wrote: Yes, I've been well corrected Nico. I should add that I thought some of the safety tips were good, but of course there are obviously parts that others take issue with. Serves me right for not reading more carefully. Appreciate your safety tips. Apr 15 14 09:45 pm Link Nico Simon Princely wrote: I actually refer newer models to your page, Nico. Not only for your incredible work, but because you have some of the most sound advice I've seen. Apr 15 14 10:07 pm Link M Day Photo and Retouch wrote: Well you should be embarrassed. First, most of the females here are adults and they can think for themselves. Your 'advice' stinks of paternalism. Second it just doesn't apply in many cases. Agency models who do test shoots are usually forbade from signing releases nor do they bring escorts. I've said this before but photographers are often their own worst enemy. You are welcome to conduct your business as you choose but deciding your way is just how it should be done is wrong. What's with the models complaining to you by the way. Are you a agent of some sort? Why are they discussing prior shoots with you? I didn't see where anyone called you a POS. They disagree. Nobody is trying too big and bad and tear people down for their entertainment. Apr 15 14 10:38 pm Link Tony Lawrence wrote: +1 Apr 16 14 12:36 am Link Greg Knoll wrote: I did not know that Greg.

Apr 16 14 09:24 am Link Every model I've worked with from this site has been absolutely wonderful to work with and I've never allowed an escort to any of my shoots. No big deal. Just work it out ahead of time with the model. I can't believe how much of a big deal the OP is making of this. Absolutely ridiculous.

Ritz Carlton, Disney, and Wolfgang Puck all received failing grades from the BBB, while OFTEN scammers receive an A rating. I've seen it for myself. Don't believe me? Will you believe ABC news? M Day Photo and Retouch wrote: Usually the amateurs that feel that this is the way of doing business say "percentage of profits" which never goes well. Ironically you posted the message on Tax Day, the day where profit making multimillion dollar companies show the government how broke they really are because those profits went to paying all kinds of business expenses so they 'really' don't have any money and shouldn't pay any taxes. The same methods could be used to show a model that there was no 'profit' in the photo so that she won't receive a dime.
