PHOTOGRAPHERS: How to tell if your model is NOT a professional???
 

1. They don't show up on time, or cancel at the last minute.
2. They complain about anything and everything.
3. They have the "Diva" complex.
4. They think they are in control.
5. They decide to have issues with other talent on-set.
6. They don't bring the proper attire for the scene.
7. They try to bang everyone in the room.
8. They get wasted before the shoot.
9. They don't wash.
10. They are in a hurry to get paid.

Add more below. :)

If you cant handle any of that + more. Get out of the business.

OK....I'm out.

I have a lot of respect for Photographers that deal with all of this on a day to day basis. It would drive me up the wall! LOL

everything you said can just go under

3. They have the "Diva" complex.

They think a library card and a phone card count as two forms of id.
If you ask them for their AIM test results and they say they haven't taken it and ask for a copy and a pencil.

They start asking if we are almost done after 2 hours on a 4 hour shoot..

They bring their friends with them..

They think just cause their cell phone rings it means we stop for a 10 minute break..

They try to squeeze more money out of you part way through the shoot..

..

i would strangle everyone of them.

No. 7 is ok..

how about showing up 15 lbs lighter or heavier..than the very recent photos emailed a few days before.

or btw, i am on my period, but we can shoot around it right ?

suitcase pimp boyfriend wants to watch, turns out he is kinda pervert getting off seeing his gf getting nailed, or he is extremely jealous..

she got into a fight at a bar last night and is bruised all over.

i experienced all of these

LMAO SO fucking true.

And to avoid a large % of that... Don't recruit strippers to shoot :2 cents:

Haha yeah the period thing... Those selfish bitches! lol...

11) They send you a photo touched up by a photoshop genius - when they turn up they look like a dogs dinner

12) They can t follow realy S I M P L E instructions

13) They tell you they are happy to do nude and then get all bullshit and shy when it comes to just going topless

bad hair, bad nails, razor bumps, hangover, too late, unwilling - and there's more

This thread is funny.....and oh' so true :winkwink:

Sounds perfectly normal to me :winkwink:
