I went through spate recently of 8 no-shows in a row then suddenly was shooting 2 a day.
It really is ups and downs in this industry.

It would be a shame if you stopped, Holly. You are one of the best in your niche as the "posh slut" !happy!

I love you Holly.

Thing is there is a worrying trend of people booking girls with their hard ons without the reality of cash to back it up.

I'm sure many people use it as an excuse to get in touch with a girl and secretly get a big kick booking a shoot knowing full well it wil never happen.

No ned to say who they are because no one knows them anyway and I think this seldon happens with people who regularly book shoots.

I know not all hobbyists are bad either but these kind of people make them look bad unfortunately

This is why I allow neg comments on AIR.

It's also why I drew up some T&C that models might like to use whenm finalising bookings - main point being that late cancelations must be paid for, or you will Small Claims Court them, and the T&C agreement email is what will win you the case.

Most claims will cost you less than ?50 to make, and by selling the debt (winning claim) to a debt agency or baliff you can make life for the defendent satisfactoraily annoying

That looks good Paul & a brilliant way to weed out the timewasters...something for models to think seriously about.

Photographers could have a similar T&C to the model one.

Photographers can also lose out if a model cancels via studio fees or own travel expenses.

Something else to put on AIR, Paul?

Photographers need no encouragement to name and shame no show models :-)
