Does anyone pay for shoots anymore?

[one eyed jack]

All I hear these days is producers dealing with no shows (one even had it down to 80% in 3 months)

That and the fact a lot of people arent making the money they expected would certianly explain the dissension from some around here recently

It all seems to be about cam shows or models being paid a rate by the hour

Models do camming and content shares in preference to paid shoots. My thoughts are, why not do it all anyway? KUH-CHING!

Back in the old days you had to"court" a girl to cop a feel of her goodies. These days all you have to do is agree to do it on webcam. How times have changed !oldie!

We always get a lot of no shows, well since 2003 it was great then we hit 2011 and its been down and down since. However I do shoot a lot of new girls I know that but I have been let down by some pretty well known girls, for reasons that were excuses but no good reporting as time wasters as it would get my nowhere when they so highly regarded by other companies they regularly shoot with.

We shoot 3-4 times for 10 months of the year, there money on offer at good rates but they don't seem to want it for reasons mentioned above already.

I noticed that reporting on "No Shows" has been pointless as serial offenders still get work anyway

If anything it just serves as a cautionary measure that said offender may or may not show on the day

OEJ,

I don't shoot as often as I used to due to not traveling around the country as much but I still pay for shoots, a generous rate at that, well I think it is anyway. I even pay up front depending on the model and their circumstances.

I know that it could be a recipe for disaster but after nearly 10 years to date I have not had any problems. But I am careful who I book.

Sounds like youve earned your respect from the models who work with you and thats a good thing.

This might sound mad but I have offered paid shoots and been turned down only to see the models who turned down a paid shoot go off and do free content share !
I must be doing something wrong?

[one eyed jack]

I find the answer to that question is dependent on what you are paying Knobby.

No offence but if someone is payiing more than you are its easy to see who they will prioritise

[Nob3y]

I pay a good going rate,I don't pay peanuts.
Like I said I have had a paid shoot turned down and the model went and worked for free to do content share.

All day shoot for next to nothing?

Who said anything about an all day shoot for next to nothing?
