This is the problem. First off let me start by saying, I dont know either man.

First you are talking a $5000 a deal and there is no contract? We are not the jews in the diamond district. Our Business has to grow up and do business like adults. Adults create contracts and MOU's so none of this bullshit happens.

Also someone radically changes the amount of the deal and that doesnt throw up a red flag for you?

Also the few times I shoot content for someone else I pay the models myself and shoot them(models are too hard to come by to piss them off) If the client flakes or disappears I can sell the content to others or use it for myself. My wife shot for a photographer who shoots for about 40 different publications, including all the hooters stuff. A very nice man let me hangout. He told me sometimes a magazine will tell him to shoot a girl, he shoots the girl pays her out of his own pocket and the magazine will reject the photographs and he has to sell them to someone else to get back his money. If there was a written agreement none of this would of happened. If they are afraid to sign the deal is not real anyway. lol
