questions for model interview...

do you have a boyfriend?
does he know about your job, does he support it?

see what happened to mandyxxx

hehe - sure :-(

I always make sure about the BF issue as well. These girls tend to date the biggest losers on the face of the planet. I always make sure they will not be bringing these thugs to the actual shoot.

what makes you stand out from the rest?

You might not want my opinion because I never fucked my models or do a bunch of other shit other photogs do. But here it is, from experience:

the best models arrive at the initial interview with a bf in tow. "to keep her safe." That's always a good sign, the model is a pro. Exception: if the bf calls you instead of the model, the model is his codependant and he's a drug user looking for money to support his habit. Stay away from that shit.

discuss pay, availability, the content, and any limits she might have.

If model asks questions like "do you ever worry about being busted, do you own any guns, do you do drugs?" and she does not ask about the pay, she's a cop. I got that once. Local cops. I indicated that I knew internet and obscenity law at least as well as they did, would NEVER plea bargain, and was well covered by the first amendment (based on all photo content being based on erotica I had written and published years earlier). They got bored and went away.
