Hi Everyone,
I'm so annoyed today so here goes my rant lol
I traveled all the way to London today and spent ?45 on travel expenses only to have the photographer not turn up and ignore my phone calls.
The shoot was confirmed last night and I asked him to text me if there was any problems, I cant believe he didn't bother to let me know he wasn't gonna turn up & no showed.
If any model wants to know who the photographer was so that he doesn't do a no show with them too email me at
paradise_summers@hotmail.co.uk
Rant Over lol
Due to this I'm offering reduced rates on home shoots at my house in Telford on this Monday and Tuesday.
?80 for 2 hours upto toys. Stills or Video or
?100 for 3 hours upto toys. Stills or Video

Well that tog owes you travel and a kill fee for letting you down is the way I see it P and I would like to know who it is so I can tell UKAP.
It works both ways. Models piss producers off and vice versa then it should be known but if this guy is justy an amateur you should have got him to travel to you.
Too many flaky people in this business.

Yes Alice, this should give you some idea what I mean when I say its becoming like the wild west...and this is what you do know and not the other skullduggery going on.
Its to be expected with an industry that is expanding and not much money being made when people fight over what little scraps there are to be made.

"Too many flaky people in this business."
Terrance, the problem with this business is that the bar to entry is now way to low. Remember the good old days when it was a business just for wise guys? There was hardly a flake or a Muppet in sight.

"and the person who seems to be running the site telling him he is a cock and is infatuated with one model"
As a website operator I can totally understand the other proprietor?s frustration at that. I mean what do these people want? What they are suggesting is that you spend all week producing and editing one movie featuring the object of their obsession, just for them to pay ?15.00 for it! So let's put that into perspective - if you only earned ?15.00 all week you'd soon find yourself in a right old pickle (unless you were independently wealthy, of course). But the really annoying thing is that you might have got 200 other movies on your site (which you've busted your gut over) that are all ready to rock - so why can't the fucker buy some of those? It's at that point that these divi, petty, small time, obsessions can really start to piss you off.

Hi Paradise,
I know who this character is and I've identified him on duskfilms.co.uk forum.
He's let me down twice although unlike you, I didn't get to the stage where I travelled to him. He's based in London as I am, so it wouldn't have been as bad for me in any case.
The guy's a complete time waster and he's posting again on this forum, asking for models with a different username along with a different email address.
I've also emailed bgafd about this as well. My encounters with him occured last month. He sent me the same photo as he sent previously when he had a different user name and when I pointed this out, he said that someone's using his photo! What gave it away was the mobile phone number he gave was the same as the one he gave me originally - he then ceased to maintain that he was a different person. He did exactly the same, the second time round ie say he'd contact me to confirm the shoot a couple of days beforehand etc and he also said he wouldn't waste my time as he had done previously. I can't believe that I stupidly gave him another chance and I'm really sorry that I didn't contact bgafd earlier about this or bring it to everyone's attention.
