BLACKLISTED ORGANIZER

I AM SUPER PISSED!!!

So i got a text from one of the photoshoot organizer. Just 3 days prior to shoot. He told me that he wants to do a shoot to me. Lingerie shoot. And he asked for friendship rate. After awhile he find that my rate is too high for him, he decided to do an hour of fashion and an hour of lingerie. Which then i agreed. Nevermind lah, "friend" mah. End of the day i still earn money. I won't mind giving a 10% off. But damned i was so so wrong! I shouldn't have trust him! Waste of my bloody time!

Just now i got a tip off by someone that he is promoting another shoot at the same place at the same time with another girl. I have no idea who this "model" is cuz i have never heard of her and i have never seen her before. (Note: i did not belittle her) Just that i really don't know who she is and why would anyone shoot at such low rates. The organizer told me before that some "models" only charge $150 for 2 hours of Lingerie shoot and that is SUPERLY MISERABLY LOW!!! I mean who on the right mind shoot at that rate seriously?! Okay, i don't. I am sure everyone has their own rates but please, kindly don't spoil the market!!! Appreciate that!!! *roll eyes*

Now i get the picture clearer... Let me elaborate why is he doing that...

If XXX "Model" charges him at $150(for example) which i think is her going rate for 2 f*_king hours -_-" And he is collecting $110 per photographer attending the shoot, he is collecting $660 for 2 hours. You take $660 - $150 = $510 And that goes into his pocket!!! And i still can't believe anyone shooting lingerie at $150 seriously!!! Sorry just miserably low.

Let's say my rates for EXAMPLE is $200/hour and 2 hours will be $400. And he is collecting $110 per photographer attending the shoot, he is collecting $660 for 2 hours. You take $660 - $400 = $260 and that goes into his pocket!!!

So with me he only make $260 wheareas with that "Model" he makes a profit of $510!!! Of course promote her shoot right?! Okay i can totally understand he wants to make money. But why arrange 2 shoots at the same place and the same time and see whichever grass is greener?! That is utterly unprofessional i have to say! And downright stupid. Oh, i forget to mention that he needs to pay for the location too but still he makes a profit outta it. Why ask me to block my dates for you?! Why use me to help fish for last minute photographer to join your shoot?! I am sure i am not the only model using the location for full day there. There will be many shoots going on. He will split the cost definitely by arranging other shoots for the whole day isn't it?!

I was nice enough to give him a friendship discount. He could have find that my rate is a tad high for him and then he is booking me for 1 hour of fashion and 1 hour of lingerie hence he will make more profit from me. How clever. No, don't get me wrong. That is absolutely clever and smart of him. A brilliant idea! Nothing wrong. Just that how could he arrange another cheap "model" at the same time and promote that shoot instead... ok... so i get that... it's clear... to make profit i know. Then don't engage me if you can't pay!!! I don't really do free shoot. I am not trying to say that i am super chio or super popular and i am not. Get this into your head. If you have no intention to shoot, don't engage. Don't get me to block my dates for you when i can slot in other shoot or even do something else. 

And to that organizer, no wonder your are so blacklisted and you've indeed proven to me that what people warned me about you is so true! No wonder your work don't go anywhere. No wonder your work never improve. No wonder 90% of the models you used are "unknown" or perhaps i shouldn't use the word "model" on them. No wonder you are slammed by most of the other organizers! Now i truly get what they mean!!! Kindly clean up your scheming act!!! You are so damned low!!! Thanks but no thanks!!! People like you will only spoil and degrade all the good organizers and photographers around!!!

I am still very nice as to not name him. Not at this moment. Not yet. Please don't ever engage me ever again. Don't waste my time. Ohh.. i forget to add in that he wanna pay me $10 less from my previous shoot. And i just got another tip off that that "model" who is shooting the same time as me, had one of the photographer puked! Paid her peanuts and shoo-ed her off. Babe, don't spoil market seriously!!!
