I refuse to shoot models wqith that kind of an attitdue.
The Girl you are shooting will really make or break your pics.
One of the main reasons my sets sold so well was I ALWAYS pushed the limits of what I could do - and managed to maintain a smile thru it all
I was voted favourite girl of all time by the BIGGEST magazine (not just porn but mainstream too) in Oz - because I always thought like a reader and gave 110% of what I thought they would like to see.
As a phtographer I have carried the same attitude over into my pics- and NOTHING irks me more than when my partner sends me a model who is really 'limp' and I have to position her for every shot.
I've never posed for a shoot under the influence of alcohol or drugs - for one thing it looks terrible - and secondly if a girl needs any substances to help 'get her through' a shoot - then she is in the wrong industry and shouldn't be doing the pics. If any girls turn up at my door like that I send them home - they don't get over the first step.
Too many girl out there think that they are gonna become the next claudia schiffer beacuse they are 'modelling' for pics. I won't shoot girls with a prima donna attitude - this is porn , if they want to be on the cover of vogue they can go thru an agency. The name of this game is to have a much fun as you can- enjoy yourself and at the end of the day when you get your pay it's all just a bonus.
I've seen the mode ns and Unseens sites - and I've been present at one of Aaron's shoots. There is a very light hearted yet professional air - and it shows thru in his sets. The girls look genuinely pleased to be shot.
Unseen - great to see someone has an interest in pics other than porn. - Nice shot too!
I carry my camera with me everywhere I go - I never leave home wihtout it.. I couldn't bear the thought of missing a beautiful sunset or a dramatic event.

My photo shoots are fun. The girls are there for the fun of it as well as the money. Like you, I have no time for the gal whose reason for being there has more to do with her own agenda than mine. That agenda frequently revolves around her career (not my concern) or getting some drug $ or whatever. By now, I've developed radar for the girl who's the wrong type for what I do.
The proof that the girls are there for fun as well as money is that almost always they'll accept an invitation to dinner (I hate eating alone) when they could easily beg off with a good sounding excuse ("I have a class" or "I have a date" or "I'm going to the movies with my sister"). When dinner is over, they go their way and I go mine. It's NOT a date! It's just social.
Thanks for the compliment on my pic. I know that no single girl is going to please everybody. I offered it rather as proof that you don't need Nikon D1 to take a technically good web photo, and since it was better than the one Charly put up, naturally he had to attempt to find fault with it in some other regard.
