How many models model full time?
I recently started working a full time 9-5 job since i could never model full time. I dont think theres enough demand to be able to do it full time and earn a living unless your willing to do boy/girl, watersport, fisting etc because otherwise yr seen as 'unprofessional'
Ive had photographers tell me thay only work in the week 9-5 since its their main income and they dont work weekends, i know im not the only model who doesnt do this full time so why cant some photographers be a bit more lienient?
If yr a photographer unless you shoot for like hustler everyday or own a very good paysite you cant do it full time...
hum.. any other models work other jobs aswell as modelling?

When i say 'unprofessional' referring to boy/girl etc, you get photographers who do say that 'unless yr willing to do almost anything then you wont get anywhere in this industry and you cant get called a professional' etc etc (Which is BULLSHIT)
so before anyone starts defining professional and saying theyve worked with amateurs better then 'real' pros thats what i meant

Emma, you work mon till friday 9-5, so what is wrong with a photographer doing the same??? It is there job, why should they cut in to the weekend just for you or any model, what is wrong with you taking a day off work??
You have to look at it both ways.

i dont expect them to cut off a weekend but when they put you down for wanting to work only weekends its a pain

Er, Emma,
we've always worked together on weekends, so not everyone only works 9-5 x

I've never photographed you but i know you are doing fine as a model (top messy model as far as i can tell) ,lots of whom earn good "top-up" money from amateurs like myself who sometimes can only shoot evenings and weekends. As for for "pressure" from "professional" photographers to do b/g, fisting or whatever it's probably best ignored. If every model does what they are okay with, and some are fine with the above, then the pics will work out. Natural relaxed models=natural, horny pics.
I've met lots of good people in this "business", both models and photographers, and just one or two not so nice. It's like life anywhere else really!
best wishes
Rob
