    F*ing Models

    What do I tell this girl? Here's the lowdown.

    We placed an ad for models. This girl calls and wants to do a shoot with her boyfriend. BUT. She won't even meet with us unless she knows how much she is going to make. Mind you, I have no idea what she looks like, so I can't give her a price or even guarantee she will be shot. With what little resources we have, we have to pick and choose right now.

    How do I get this girl to come in for a test shoot?

        Now now, I am I nice guy. The college kids are a tight community and I don't want to come off as an asshole. It will get around.

        I just would rather be able to tell her something so she will come in and we can see her. I am all for getting the college kids money.

        Yeah, that's it. I'm a humanitarian.

            no pc. besides, how do i know when they take that pic? i would wind up posting it on this board to see who wants her, then get sued by lensman for posting a pic of a 15 year old. I need to see them in person.

            Yes this is for models for exclusive shoots, not my sites. Starting up a content store. Like the world needs another.

                be honest with her and tell her that it varies.

                plus, you can always say that she will not know what she is comfy with doing until she meets you, and that you will pay depending on how much you can shoot.

                worst case, you can always book her for something and if she totally sucks you could do a half session and pay her less. fake an emergency, throw some $$ at her, and scoot her out.

                unfortunately, sometimes one-timers looking for a quick buck can be hot.

                  She does not even want to MEET unless I can guarantee her:

                  1) How much $ for a shoot.

                  2) That there will be someone I can find that wants me to shoot her.

                  I am so sure there is a way this will be worth it to her to meet me, it's just the convincing part.

                  The more I am thinking about it, the more I think am just gonna tell her I would pay her and her boyfriend REDICULOUSLY LOW for a 30 min hardcore video and resell it non-exclusively.

                  Otherwise I would tell her sorry, talk to so-and-so and pick up a referral fee.

                    I will ALWAYS be honest with models. It's ingrained in my uber-strict Jehovah's Witness upbringing

                      When you get this much headache BEFORE you even shoot its NEVER worth it.
                      Tell her a price
                      ex. Anywhere between $100 -$400 hour depending on looks and what she does

                      If she wont even meet you (even with her boyfriend along side) to let you see her fuck her!
                      What city are you in?

                          it sounds like more of a headache than it actually is when you really think about it. I just have to figure out what kind of deal i would be willing to offer her.

                            If she's one of the only girls to answer your ad, then you might want to try to coax her. Otherwise, she is probably taking up too much of your time!

                                        Tell her at the very least they (BF and her) will have to meet you for a coffee or pop so that you can see her ID **Before** you can give her ANY idea of a quote... simply due to the fact that if you DO quote her a price and she turns out to be underage, that you could be arrested for attempted pandering... or worse. Explain the complexities of the legal side of this business.

                                        So no meet and greet no deal. Let her pick out the meeting spot. It should make her feel more at ease.

                                          Interesting you emphasize not giving her any idea of a quote. Not even barest low minimum?

                                                Than don?t be afraid to say Good bye, this girl sounds like a flake, and if you do kiss her ass and shoot her just think of all the other things you will have to kiss her ass for.

                                                I don't care what college she goes to, word will not get around if you just tell her you?re not interested.

                                                And even if it dose there are still 1000 other girls who need $

                                                  Gemini's reply is the one to follow if you really want to do the shoot
                                                  Thanks for the replies all.

                                                  Kat - I didn't take your " " the wrong way at all. It is fucking funny, isn't it? But seriously, I am better off placing a full-page ad looking for other models.

                                                      Holly shit this girl is wasting your time look at how much you have replied to this thread. Give her an estimate on the phone bare minimum, but then she has to guarantee she is hot and over 18.

                                                      Truthfully though even if you said over the phone I guarantee it but then said fuck it cause she was a fat cow what would she do? You think she is tape recording the calls, lol that would be tight.

                                                          It all sounds too odd. Neither the hubby or I would quote ANY numbers over the phone unless they showed willingness to meet and prove their age if nothing else. He just wised off that he'd tell her that he wants to make sure she has only two of everything instead of 9 eyes and 5 arms. lol

                                                          The way prosecutors are nowadays and how the cops set up stings, why go out on a limb? It's going to be election year again soon and the way courts drag these things out, it would be just prior to the elections before it got serious in a court. Pandering alone is about one step above being a ped. Stick with the law when someone acts hinky.

                                                              Girls around here are fucked up (for those of you that don't know). Seattle supposedly has like the second worst female to male ration in the country. Girls have fucking attitudes around here...or they've got fat stomachs, but it's always one or the other.

                                                              Good luck bro. Go to Vancouver.

If this girl has no previous experience then you will also be training her on how things work, and letting her have her way isn't the way to get started.


                                                                  For me it goes:

                                                                  phone call -- girls get asked some qualifying questions, some are eliminated right here. The rest get an appointment time and a meeting place.

                                                                  1st meeting -- "get to know you" type of meeting, informal. if they make it past this point, it's on to setting up the first shoot.

                                                                  1st shoot -- model release forms are finalized/signed, paperwork etc, and the work begins. When it's over, I pay them and have them sign a receipt.


                                                                  Girls that want to buck the system and waste my time get shown the fucking door. Politely, but there's the door just the same.

                                                                    Then I give the model the complete shoot description and contract price.

                                                                    I tuck those pics in the folder, and when the model shows up, if she has misrepresented herself, I politely say that the pics and the face don't match and boot her out.

                                                                    Only happened once.

I'd stop waisting my time with her and find some one else.

Let her know it, and if she can't come up with a solution, don't waste your time and money. If she can't send you some sample photos, and wants you to guarantee money, something is up.

She does not want to waste her time on a meeting any more than you want to waste yours. That said, of course, you can't ethically guarantee something that you are unsure of. Any reasonable person should understand that it is wrong to ask you to make a promise you might not be able to keep. I would give her general parameters of what you are thinking of, but never ever make promises until you have the information necessary to know you can keep your word. My , but I have to agree with EricR -- Seattle is sort of a unique place to shoot.

I would tell any model sight-unseen that she will have to meet with me first for me to know what exact pay rate she qualifies for, if she qualifies at all.

I know I would personally not go to a job interview for any job which I had no idea about what it paid or entailed. I don't usually bother meeting with a model I have not seen a picture of unless he or she is a referral though. I've actually never had a model show up looking worse than the pix she submitted.

                                                                                    Girls around here are fucked up (for those of you that don't know). Seattle supposedly has like the second worst female to male ration in the country. Girls have fucking attitudes around here...or they've got fat stomachs, but it's always one or the other.

                                                                                    Good luck bro. Go to Vancouver.
