![]() That evening I walked through the door wearing what must've been a hang dog expression, because my wife picked up on it right away. But now I needed to find a model with the vision to meet me halfway on making it happen, a far more exhausting hunt. In the remaining week I had to not only find my props which consisted of a football helmet and shoulder pads for this shoot, which aimed to deconstruct the male dominated world of pro sports. As far as I was concerned, I was screwed. ![]() That's why I was crushed when my model Lisa called me a week before a shoot we had been planning together to let me know that she had to go out of town on a family emergency. Another wall I running up against was trying to get people on board with a unique concept that really existed only in my mind, which can be hard to do even when relaying your idea to artsy fartsy types suchs as models and other photographers. This meant jumping through the hoops of trying to find models who were not only willing to pose on a time-for-prints arrangement (a deal where the model receives the finished photos for her portfolio as compensation for her time) to meet my limited budget, but also willing to pose for risque, albeit tasteful art photos. I have been shooting freelance for a couple of years now and have generally worked it into my client agreement that I can use photos from a given shoot for my own promotional purposes, but as this was a new concept (both in terms of originality and being new to me) I didn't have any images that I could use to advertise so I had to create them. I had recently expanded my service offerings to include an edgy boudoir concept, and have been sourcing models to pose for promotional shoots. That's exactly the position I found myself in two weeks ago. The names have been changed to protect the horny and shameless.Īs a freelance photographer there are few things more terrifying than finding out that you're going to have to scrap a shoot after you have paid for wardrobe and props and booked studio time because all of a sudden your model can't make it.
