We are the top choice photographer to marketing help for any and all serious career to supermodel hopefuls. Noone even a close second. But we have had a problem with a well known agency model and another model who we had no idea what a porn Starr to prostitute and druggie. So let’s start with the Fitness Agency Model.
We have many shots with a Boston Agency Model we shot 10 x and we have a good 15,000 amazing pics yet in all our postings this agency model even after first shoot gave only 1 like for one of our shots and 1 like for a shot I posted of another model and that’s it. Brtags about togs she shoots with that suck and tons of likes but let’s share and care.
We meed at our studio this cute fitness model and our first shot images are awesome. Did they get likes from the model of course not but the model wanted to shoot again. SO let’s review our first shoot. The model tells us she had a day time kjob but quit because of 20 coworks said she totally sucked as a human, hated her, and do not want to work with her. The model told me they went to Human Resources, she cried, quit and moved back hime with mom and dad. OK at least I know you have serious issues with being nice and interfacing with others.
We got along fine for all 10 shoots and model asked to shoot again an 11th time yet never received 1 request to shoot from this model putting in a good word despite awesome pics I shot. In fact, a fw were all excited and then I got blocked for they too were agency models and a photographer she shot with often, had shot with them.
So after our fist shoot model wanted to shoot again. I as walking 8.5 miles a day for months in 2 hours so I would walk home. Thought it was strange that as the model passed as I was a quarter mile down the road, no way, no beep or even do you need a ride. NOTHING for 3 trips I happened to be heading home. I’m not a spring chicken and can tell you this had not even happened once in my life, not even once, never mind 3 times, hello beep or otherwise. Posted pics of our shoots, all totally awesome as you would agree and I’ve had perhaps 200 x asked by the I don’t know. “Your pics of that model are awesome and she posts pics that almost all suck, what’s up with that?” You got to ask her, not my call.
So we shot many times, and thought it strange like she is talking about money like she is rich living at home. We weren’t discussing anything like that but it came up once probably twice. Strange for we were shooting at one of the best if not the best studio in New England for glamour and I was wearing a $9,100 Rolex Watch, the model being a cyclist I had a racing cycle worth around $8600 right there and she new I had a Burberry overcoat and that is over $9000. Then I had between clothes and other props a good $300,000 in new model clothes to pros so why are you talking about this crap I said to myself.
My dad’s grandmother was worth around $13 billion or so, This model actually had a pic running on our families land in Boston and I mentioned it to her. I grew up visiting my grandmother on father side with 3 waiters and a cook attending to our every need as we played mouse trap or other games and so not so impressed. Never mind that my dad was or is one of the most famous non known kept secret inventors in the history of the world. 198 IQ, mother a genius as well and her dad was loaded.
My dad served two of the top generals of World War II. General Patton, Then General Bradley when Patton removed for glove slap then back tp Patton immediately as he returned back to Europe and knew both personally. My dad was in charge of the top marksmen and rangers with no special name above all others. Dad had 6 1 on 1s with Patton and survived not only the front lines of Pattons European campaign but the front lines of Patton for the entire Battle of the Bulge! If you have seen the HBO series BAND of Brothers my dad was one of the guys riding the prized horses and you see Patton yelling to get off the horses. My dad was there right after NUTS with Patton and liberated 2 concentration camps. Funny how they talk about kills by marksmen. Dad had no way of knowing if he met the top number in one day. We are talking the bloodiest of battles of all time. Dad was at the Nuremberg trials for he hunted down SS and Hitler Youth later. From there my dad invented numerous top weapons in the history of the world to NASA and many parts for several of our higher jets from F4 to F15. You use several of my dad’s inventions no doubt daily. Never brought much over the years but funny I’m getting a story of gold for some reason.
So we got along great at all our shoots as so obvious in the images. The model wanted some implied shots we did on a few shoots that were cute. The model asked if I would shoot nudes of her and a red head friend riding a horse and at the beach near her. I said I would, but you play hide the peanut and not trading 3 and a half hours to shoot implied and half ass shots so far away. You get comfortable shooting nudes and then I will. I’m comfortable and shoot nudes all the time she said. Then why the cover up pn most shots I said to myself. I’m not the guy for pretend models I thought. so I said when you are not playing cover up, I’ll make the trip. So she shot an implied nude at a beach near her and saw she used the pose I taught her.
So getting back to some of her ways that brought coworkers to despise her I made her a blog for fitness and eating tips to recipes. Made her a site store that she wanted as well. spend a good 60 hours and a few hundred of my own money. Do any of you models have a photographer doing such kind deeds for you and paying a few hundred dollars of their own money to help you out of kindness?
heSo I make two great sites and I instead of thank you, thank you I get, “Oh you took my name and I was going to get that!”/ I said really You been modeling 7 years, had a site but didn’t grab the URL? What URL would I choose over that? Anyway no thanks, outside of a Maxim questionnaire answered never received any articles for her blog site and never saw a promo for her store that at least sold $300 of PG pics but never received a thank you or how can we make the site income rock.
The sites are receiving no life from the model and the sites are on my friends sever space that costs money. I tell the model that I am no renewing her desired URL and you think she bought it? Of course not. Just as sad case for ungratefulness her past coworkers HATED per the model. So a good 5 times I told her the site could be bought and like a 1/3 of other sellers to on sale for $3.50. Did she buy the URL after 4 years and months of the URL just sitting there. Of course not. So I gave the store with her pics to a friend living overseas for I don’t do paid sites and never have for myself despite if I shot some or all of the images. The site was selling huge dollars and told her so. “Oh do I get some of that money?” SO a model who treated me like total shit, Stole from me and from 13 or so people that an exceptionally bad review came from this fitness model from Boston that I was blocked by a few after. yet she wanted to know if the pics she had so she could sell on her own. The same site I made for her to make money that had not appreciation or use, could now be hers. What kind of person does that? Asks that? Freeloader big time. If we had been shooting or started shooting by her request, I would remake her a site and then help her make thousands after thousands if she shot enough for new content. But was just looking to use me for free handout.
So this Boston Fitness Model posted an implied Instagram using the pose I taught her. Then being a user asks ME not to use my implied of her yet had nudes, closeups and cameltoes with about 22 others that tied back to her and then she or the tog were entering numerous implied nude contestant there was a FANS ONLY page for her up that requires her proof of identify.
So soon after the first time MAXIM who has had a round 16 of my models spotlighted on Hometown Hotties and 4 of my models with storylines to calendars made and multiple countries and multiple times. How many have had that success out there?
So two countries for Maxim contact me saying they are very interested in spotlighting this model with images WE shot, not suggesting others. I sent a note stating such but never heard back.
Well, several months later I heard from a Maxim manager saying they loved my pics of this model and have the model pick her favorites. Well I checked and saw the user never bought the URL which had been more money from all the searches created by my friends great sales. So I bought the Url and professionally added on front page the site was owned and operated by myself. Legal and pro as it gets. By law you need a model release CHECK, not impersonate, do not try and destroy their persona on that URL. I did not. In fact, I was adding pics I knew would be perfect and loved by Maxim and was then going to send over to this fitness model to pick out favorites so she would have an amazing if not outright definite feature in Maxim. IF we started shooting again I was going to let her use the URL and make a store if we shot a few times so she could get rich and make in a week the kind of money she probably made in 4 months of her day job. But soon after I started to add pics I get THREE CALLS from her mom in 25 minutes. her mom never had my number. This is a nude model who had a fans only page, shot nudes all over and posts she shoots nudes but her mom is calling me.not the model.
That is skid row as skid row gets. What the hell is a 34 year olds mom doing calling me? Why didn’t the model call me first. I never mentioned Maxim after that and never played back unprofessional calls from mom or the model. I then get a start up lawyer with a notice to stop. Well it was my friends server but the law quoted was for a person using images without a model release. Give me a break. After shooting thousands of models. Never been treated so unkind and like dirt for a model I had been shooting. There is not a more experienced, professional photographer on planet earth We treat models how we want to be treated and shot thousands of awesome images of this model for we taught her how to pose and had the best outfits we opened for our shoots.
So after our 10th shoot the model asks to shoot again. I give this model tons of awesome ides for that 121th shoot to take place the up coming Saturday. So a few days after we booked the model says my tire has a slow leak and so best not take a chance. Well anyone over 15 knows in a few minutes if legit a gas station will have you out the door in 35 mounts for todays $20 at tops. Oh I don’t know how to do that. Well the service attendant at a gas station or tire store will. So we don’t shoot. About a week later a model who knew of my ifitness shoot ideas says that model STOLE YOU IDEAS AN SHOT THEM WITH SOMEONE ELSE! Well I saw them and laughed that the weren’t even slightly shot like I would shoot but right down to the cedar track for a more pro look this low life stole my ideas!!!! Never in 60 years of shooting had any model been such a low life! So that’s the real story and just look at the hundreds of pics I had posted of her and see the energy , smiles professional posing to outfits looking like an adult. Always asks WHO WHAT WHERE WHY and WHEN for how do you know the person you are asking is giving a legit review? You are going to toss your career out the window for one of the worst professionals modeling?
