Is it me? If I send out 10 messages requesting a shoot (*paid) I seem to get only if I am totally honest 2 replies 3 at most. I can right now only offer 1 fully paid shoot a month, I generally start the message with "is possible to shoot you paid ?". I always say the level is set by the model and always try and be extremely polite. It's quite exhausting and frustrating at times. In the last few month I been only offering paid to extremely professional and well know models but the same result occurs.
In the business world if I offer to pay for sometimes time, I usually get a reply within 24 hours, its seems its not the case with some models (I am talking about full time models). I can hear some of you say but I am so busy and so booked up and don't get time to reply. I say to that well how does the system work then? I keep a record of who dont reply, I mean "pro" models, and its quite astonishing , I wish I could work out what to do.
Before you reply to this thread.
1) I always accept £50ph
2) I always pay travel even for TF
3) I always offer lifts to station
4) I always stay polite (sometimes blunt) but always respectful
5) I send a chase email in 2 days
Yes ok move on..................but I am running out of models with in a reasonable distance. I am shooting less now than I have ever (model wise) done, wonder what to do?
