How the heck do y'all arrange free photoshoots (what's in it for the model)?
I always wondered what's in it for the models when you guys throw shoots. Aren't they used to getting paid for modelling? Why would they do it for free? I'm a long-time photographer, but only now getting into doing "photoshoots". Started doing some shoots with female friends, just to have cool stuff to show. I have decent/cool visual evidence. When I contact others with the examples, they seem quite excited at initial message. When I give the details it kind of fizzles out. The details include that it's an exchange (they get pics/vids, we build up our portfolio). Mind you no actual rejections, though I'm not contacting complete random people, we're in the same industry, and I might be reading too much into it, but it goes from excitement to "we'll talk more after I'm back, on vacation now" with a bunch of smileys, so still positive, just not as excited.
