My point was that talent would be unlikely to apply to shoot with me, without being familiar with what I shoot. Also, there would be likely to be at least a bit of Six Degrees of Kevin Bacon in terms of people known in common. So maybe my experience is different. I have shot an awful lot of people without once worrying that the person applying for a girl shoot was secretly a dude.

Maybe I did not ask clearly enough: How are you booking that the talent is likely to be either trying to trannie trick you or unfamiliar with what you are trying to shoot or both? If someone is seriously trying to scam you, why would they be more honest on the telephone than email?
