Just mad my first model bail on me.
 

Son of a bitch.

Been shooting a model for over a week now, almost finished and she sends me a bullshit email about my photographer being too "touchie" and creeping her out so she quits.

We record all photoshoots on video so I can see everything going on and have extra footage for the site.

Pisses me off how chicks are.

No more paying by the day. When the job is done, the girl gets paid.

Live and learn.

yea that suck

Thats sucks, partner. Hopefully you at least got something you can use out of the deal and arent out all that money...

Sounds like you need a new photographer.

Welcome to the world of content. be prepared to see this many times

Models don't usually make such claims for no reason. Perhaps you should place the blame where it likely lays: with your photog.

Tell her she gets no pay.

Yea, you creeped her out? Maybe a follow up e-mail, telling her to bring a friend along, and apologizing for your behavior (whether or not you think you're being creepy...she does, and that's all that counts) and just remind her there's more money to be made.

thats sucks man but like they said if she feels uncomfortable there's probably a good reason for it...

I have to dissagree with you Donny. Here is a scenario i use to encounter a lot when I was shooting content. Girl comes wants money and all so starts shooting. Then after a while she tells a friend and then it grows on her conscience that she does not want her pussy plastered all over the net. She wants to bail but afraid to be honest... Then she will say whatever to make it look like she's a victim of some sort.

You must know shooting with young girls is not all a bed of roses, some can be so high maintenance it drives you crazy

Well, I wasn't shooting her personally.
I think a part of it may have had to do with the way my photographer asked her to do things, part was because she just isn't the birghtest girl and not really "with it".

I think she used my photographer as a cop-out.

Overall, I got about 9,000 photos and about 5 hours of video to go through. Enough to launch a site but I can't update it unless I update it with other models.

I paid her cash by the day, my mistake there.

I tell the girls, if we do this, you shoot a minimum of 5 shoots to launch the site, then 12 shoots through the year for updates. The problem is, I pay them cash at each day.

Now, I'll pay them the total sum upon completion of their first 5 shoots. Then they walk away with a nice chunk of cash and are happy they accomplished something.

why would you pay cash?

I hope you have the decency to have her legs broken.

Sorry to hear that you are having trouble with your model.
Models are defiantely high maintance and for the most part they are very needy. Unfortunately if the model feels ackward and
uncomfortable she won't want to continue working with who ever that is making her feels that way.
Maybe you should consider writing up weekly or monthly contracts for your models so that they get cash at the end of each week like a normal job
but you withhold a portion until the end of the contract so that the model doesn't ditch on you as she wants the final payment.
Just a suggestion. :) If you want her back you may want to butter her up.
Take her to lunch to discuss it and then maybe to a salon and spa for a pedicure or something. A little pampering can go a long way!
I wish you well and good luck with the model.
:thumbsup

Sometimes, this is all you need to do to keep them going. :pimp

funniest post all night :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup :thumbsup

teach your model a lesson that she will never forget.

This is where you inform her that partial sets leave you no choice but to sell her as non-exclusive filler to any sites or companies willing to pay....

Bingo. Yatzy.

models and their gigantic attitude
