Beyond that...I think it's disrespectful, to my loyal clients, to offer to "piggy back" a cheap shoot off of their dime. Risking the loss of a loyal client for a few hundred bucks more is simply a foolish and greedy thing to do.

As for the client the extra stuff is being shot for, delivering a shot out model to them isn't really fair either. They may have a lower budget but they still want decent content for what they can afford. The only exception I can think of for working a model that hard is if you are shooting for a solo site and the "tired" look contributes to the "personality/different looks" factor.

There used to be a shooter here who got caught shooting the same exact sets and models for two clients. He would shoot for client A with Camera A on the right side of the bed and use camera B for client B on the left side. Just jump back and forth as the model stripped.

I guess what I'm getting at is that just because you "can" do something does not mean that you should.

Great post dude.


You are always a great read dude.




To Peter Romeros defense, he actually owns his own sites, which makes it a bit easier to piggy back. But any other client who is paying top dollar, in the same room over and over again would not be right, unless they know what the deal is.
