I hate school holidays.

What irks me is they have the cheek to ask for paid shoots when they don't have a decent portfolio or none! A received an email the other day from a wannabe, she wants to be shot. I pay her and she keeps the photos. ;(
I want to say something beyond this but I think I'll just full-stop at this comment:

"Not every guys gets a hardon at the sight of a SYT to be treated like Carrot Cake."
 

This seems to be a current trend ..... usually something like this....
First, a young girl, and being the holiday season, decides to improve some photos in her friendsters/facebook's account, and decide to test her luck for free shots from some photographers and so post an invite thread here ....

...
Just wondering ..... i am all for the reimbursement of expenses (transport/food/agreed items, etc) to the models, but how many of us are willing to pay for newbie models?

To answer Canonised's original question, I will not pay for such models. I will not shoot such models. In the perfect world, a test shoot/TFCD/TFP, either side is responsible for the expenses. So, I will not reimburse any of the model's out of pocket expenses.

Here in Singapore, seems like the photographer is expected to take on all the cost of such a shoot.

syt?:dunno: o wait just realized what it was lol.
 

There are photographers who pay to shoot 'models'. And there are 'models' who would not mind paying the photographer to shoot her (or at the very least to cover the necessary expenditures).

So as a photographer, pro or no pro, anyone is free to decide which side of the see-saw he wishes to position himself.

My SOP answer to a model asking for free portfolio shoot is...Wait Long Long.
 

too many photographers.... too few models???
Supply and demand issue :confused:
 

more like too many humsap guai :bsmilie:

I always tell the amateurs to cut down the intake of saltiness.

And have a copious intake of water when on a bikini photo shoot. :bsmilie:

"hi all.
i am a newbie model. i have no experience and would like to get some through this holidays.
please teach me more along the way.
no NUDE and lingerie please (: "

then in no time her pm is all flooded with "serious" shooters within minutes .... and then the tone changed .....

"thanks for so many TFCD requests .... any paid shoots available ?".....

and the offers keep coming, and so the new tone is now ....

" thanks all for the fantastic responses (:

then out of nowhere, images of bikini ( no NUDE and lingerie) shots appeared in the thread..... :think:
