Were the primary communications through the agency or through the model?<br /><br />I have been fortunate enough to never have encountered this situation. I'm always very clear about what we're shooting beforehand so we're all on the same page. That's just an unprofessional situation and outcome.<br /><br />What I would do depends on how badly I need the shoot to come together on that day. Can the style be altered reasonably or would it ruin the storyboard? If we assembled a team for a specific storyboard/concept and that required the model be nude but the model refused to shoot nudes, then I would cancel the shoot. On the day of the shoot, I'm flexible to change at a moment's notice but it depends whether or not that will suffice.<br /><br />For example, I recently had to shoot a spec editorial and the magazine required the model had to be topless and implied bottomless. The model arrived and somehow misunderstood the situation and thought she was going to wear nude underwear. But fortunately after explaining the magazine's requirements, she obliged.<br /><br />But if she refused, we wouldn't be able to shoot the concept because it's required by the magazine.<br /><br />I would probably not work with that model again. If I scheduled the model via the agent, I would need to have a firm discussion with the agent about what happened but the agent is typically helpless especially after the fact.<br /><br />Good luck going forward though!Charles Lucimahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13960242106614495688noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6722364592267293957.post-49044944310573652752011-12-25T05:27:08.314-08:002011-12-25T05:27:08.314-08:00Hey Charles, Merry Xmas;)
What would you do in th...Hey Charles, Merry Xmas;)<br /><br />What would you do in this situation:<br />- Got an agency represented model whose portfolio/work/poses you like pretty much<br />- She likes your work, would have liked to work with you, knows your style, etc...<br />And on the day of shooting:<br />- She didn't afford what you asked, despite she has known your style and seen the mood board refused the fashion nude/implied posing or wearing sheer materials.<br />Again, she saw the stylist's mood board, she know what kind of design she should have worn.<br /><br />It's happened with me and I didn't do anything later.<br />I talked with her agent but I wasn't harsh just complained gently... so I guess it was an another mistake to playing the nice guy:/<br /><br />Thanks for your answer;)Gabor Szantaihttp://gaborszantai.co.uknoreply@blogger.com
