My first no-show!
I’m not going to name names but I’ve had my first no-show.
Lin spent a long time trying to sort out this model, many MM emails exchanged, more than any other model so far, and everything seemed fine for this afternoons shoot.
I was supposed to pick her up from the station in just over an hour so I thought I’d call and make sure that she knew which station to get off at and what I’d be wearing so she could identify me.
Apparently, she can’t make it today because she didn’t get up in time to get to the train and she had been trying to find out how to contact me. I guess some students at university are not as bright as you might think because I guess the MM account for Lin and I wasn’t an option, neither were the TWO telephone numbers or the real email addresses we sent her - TWICE. It’s not as if we are difficult to get hold of.
To stand us up one hour before the shoot and to not have even tried to tell us is completely unacceptable. This is one model that will never see the inside of my studio.
The thing is I’m not unreasonable. I had a model turn up 30 hours late and was happy to shoot her because she kept me informed of the problems with travel and I was happy to oblige. But if I had not called this girl before setting off for the station I would have been sat in my car like an idiot waiting for this girl who couldn’t be assed to tell me she wasn’t coming.
If you are a model and are reading this, please remember that if you can’t make an appointment then phone as soon as you know and cancel it, it makes you look a hell of a lot better than being a no show.
This is a photo Roswell Ivory. Roswell was on time and a wonderful model. I dont know if she had to bend over backwards to get here, but she certainly did after arriving. I hope to be shooting her again later this year.
