What do you think?
Last week I asked a model with a site to come out and shoot with me. I live in Vancouver, Canada and she lives in southern states. The trip was going to cost a few hundred dollars that she didn't have. I proposed to pay for it by having her do a custom shoot for me for one of my fans and also having her doing some shoots for a multi model site that I am partnered with. (
www.cinnamyn.com) That money would pay for her trip and maybe even give her a little bit of cash to take home with her.
It all sounded great until her webmaster/photographer, who we have other business with, contacted me on MSN. He was upset that 'his' model was coming out to do work with someone other than him. He told me that her doing work, even less revealing work, for other sites would hurt her site and that her affiliates would leave her if she did that. He said that he would have to approve any work that she does for other sites.
Personally, I appear on lots of sites. I don't shoot for just anyone, but girls with sites that are similar to mine and with photographers I know. I don't just shoot random content. It works great to promote myself. It gets me traffic while it also helps out the other webmaster with a little content. I can make a buck or two at the same to help pay for my trips. It's probably the best form of promo that I have.
What do you guys think? Would doing work for another site cost her affiliates and make her make less money?
