Do people honestly still do test shoots?

i concurr absolutely, she gets something of value as long as the tog is actually any good also.. and the tog then gets to see at little or no cost if she worth working with again, and subsequently,worth paying......... There are some togs i would happily work ,for "free" , for the pics- and others i know would be an expensive waste of my time and also money...... !happy! x

I must say Daz you do come across in your posts as a helpful person

I still can't get the links in my profile to work so i suppose I'll have to put it in all posts

Dylan,
I think I can see why the link in your profile doesn't work?



There's a space between the 65863 and the >. You need to log on, go to your profile and delete that space. It should? then work correctly.

cheers myson

still can't see why the pics won't upload cos the same link works in the postings

[myson]

You're welcome !happy!

If you have the location (link) to the photo you want to put into your profile give this a try.

Get the link to the photo copied to your PC's clipboard. Log back onto your profile and paste it into the box that says "Image URL". If it doesn't work as it is put this [img ] on the front of the URL and this [/img ] at the end of the URL but without any spaces anywhere (I've had to include spaces to make them show).

Or you could email your pix and I will host hem for you and give you the exact text you will need to make them visible on forums.

I see what you're saying and I think that we're just coming at this from different angles.
I think we both would agree that dodgy practices are not on and as long as the people involved are doing things the right way, for the right reasons then all will be right with the world.
I wasn't having a go at your fees (btw) I was just highlighting the point that we all work differently and that differing work-practices do not by necessity mean that something is amiss.
I am doing a test today with a girl I approached last week. I am fully expecting to pay for this in cash as I have good expectations - which will be a surprise to her because she thinks she's only getting her pics in return. I would only keep the cash in my pocket if the work was below standard.
And lastly, I rarely stamp the images that I give models who have not been paid since, as you point out, it's not right.
!thumbsup!

Test shoots are perfectly legitimate when done in the correct way, for the correct reasons.

Trouble is these days, the TFP brigade have hijacked the term and use it to get freebie shoots, so its no wonder models are viewing it with suspicion.
