FiL who is that ? I don't comment on your suggestions. Why do you comment on the OP's behalf ? Is this a Team Sport !
Why don't you comment on everybody else's "honest" postings here !!

I noticed that several folks had made/placed some nice comments against your shots and you hadn't replied two months later to those. I just deleted my own after two months after initially seeing the great light coming through your Studio Window.
You deleted comments you made on images you liked because you didn't get a reply?
Wow, that's really petty.

Gothic Image .. hey i havent suggested anything to your responses. i understood everyone was free to make suggestions openly and fairly. sorry you don't like that approach!
I don't think I said that I disliked anything, I was simply agreeing with Tabitha's opinion.

Hazard people can literally comment on whatever they want unless its viewed as a form of bullying or breaks site rules. No point moaning about it, most would concur that deleting photo posts due to a lack of response to be petty. You have the message system for conversation.

Starglider Photography when you work with professional studios you will understand.
what are you moaning about!
The OP asked for comments and I noticed that on many images of this model, comments had been made by many Photographers and none of those had a like nor a reply for 2 months.
So "Would there be anything that would stop you working with me"...the answer is yes.
I haven't criticized YOUR honest feedback.

Dude, leaving a comment on a piccy doesn't obligate anyone to reply. Tagging someone's moniker in the forum doesn't obligate them to reply to you either. You need to stop this weird attention-seeking behaviour before it gets out-of-hand. Join your local knitting circle or something and develop proper inter-personal relationships with real people and you'll magically feel much less precious about peoples' overlooked interactions with you here. Good luck!

Oh well, at least it took five pages before the thread got derailed. :-(

Deleting your own comments on photos because you haven't had a reply is petty. Stupidly petty. And it's not going to look good for you in any way at all for any model who reads your posts on here. I can guarantee there will be some who will not work with you because of it.
Stating that not replying or liking a comment is not a valid reason as to why it would stop anyone working with the model. No-one is going to agree with you there.
Once you yourself get to the level of photography like myself and many others here, where we get loads of likes and comments on our work, you'll understand how replying and liking every single comment isn't really obligatory or in any way a detriment to us getting work.
Just saying ;)

Starglider Photography well the point I was TRYING to make was that around 20 Photographers had made comments on this models photos and some had not one single reply, or a like.
IF the model had made attempts to discuss with the Photographers, then that would be an example of Good Communication Skills.
"So as a photographer is there anything about my portfolio that would prevent you from working with me?"
Yes. Seeing a lack of comments to other Photographers IS a big thing for me.
It may NOT be for 20,000 members on here nor YOU. But this is a personal view (like your own views are you own view.)

I'm going to feel like a mother now but pack it in.
People wonder why models don't participate in forums..
Everly came for advice; this isn't helpful and simply deters models.
If you want to hash it out, you have an inbox.

Hazard sorry you mean you deleted a comment on my image because I didn't reply to it? I've never had that before. I usually have 80 to 100 notifications to go through plus messages to reply to, castings to upload, apply to castings on here then I also have my photography page my event page plus Instagram and Facebook accounts so I often don't reply to comments on my images just as I don't expect a reply to comments I make on images I just comment on what I like and don't expect anything in return. Sorry you felt you had to delete it because I didn't thank you it isn't a reflection on me at all I just don't have time physically to reply to every single comment as on top of all of the above I also run a large household and have 4 children :)

Tabitha Boydell I don't know how someone would physically have the time to reply to every comment ontop of everything else we do daily. That's just baffled me :)
Everly Rose said, 1682954003
Evie Kedavra thank you for backing me up
If I sat and replied to every single comment I wouldn't sleep eat or have time for any life with my family, I'm baffled by that but if that would really put him off working with me so be it, I would be worried afterwards that I would need to respond then to every single thing we had done together and can do without that pressure. I do my job well and feel that is a good enough reason to want to shoot me not that fact I don't reply to comments. It's so petty. Xx
