I have always told models "This is what we pay, if you want to sit on your ass for a day and earn nothing you can, if you want to come and work for us and earn a months wages in a day you can. Your call." OK today it's more like 2-3 weeks money, but still better than sitting at home and earning nothing.

The problem was so many Internet and DVD shooters arrived here and started acting like big shots. They were trying to get the girls brand new and trying to impress agents. A lot of the time they ended up with models we and a few other had shot for half the price and not so brand new. The agents started to dictate we all pay the high price and the home based shooters started recruiting girls on the street and from ads. Then sending them to agents.

The problem really got bad when a good girl could get 2-3 days work a week and here that's a very nice wage.

But the worm has turned and girls are phoning us for work and accepting what we can pay them. Makes for a better product when the shooters are in charge.
